Down to Earth Construction

The Merit Construction Alliance is a Massachusetts-based organization that advocates for fair and open competition in the construction industry. They believe that building contracts should be awarded based on quality, value, safety, and adherence to budgets and timelines, and they encourage project owners to invite both non-union and union construction firms to bid on an equal playing field. With a focus on merit shop contractors, who employ the majority of construction workers in Massachusetts, the Merit Construction Alliance aims to strengthen the industry by promoting transparency and opposing market manipulation. Committed to delivering skilled craftsmanship, competitive pricing, and excellent customer service, merit shop contractors are preferred by both the private and public sectors. The Merit Construction Alliance, established in 1997, works tirelessly to combat special-interest schemes, false information, and intimidation tactics that weaken construction projects. With a value of projects kept open to all amounting to $1.8 billion and an overwhelming majority of workers choosing merit shops in Massachusetts, the Merit Construction Alliance is dedicated to fostering a construction industry built on the principles of fairness and open competition.Generated from the website
