Owners: Solutions for Quality Construction Projects

C3 supports owners by ensuring that projects involving craft workers meet our specific construction criteria.

Why Owners Should Get Involved with C3

There is a shortage of quality craft workers to deliver project work for owners. Owners can enact change in the construction industry, so you don’t have to settle for substandard work.

Owners can mandate that General Contractors and Specialty Contractors validate their commitment to training and education for their workforce. When owners embrace their role as the driving force to elevate workforce development, you will benefit from consistent workforce standards on every project.

We set and monitor minimum requirements to support best practices on your project. By investing in the construction craft workforce, you will realize tangible benefits:

Higher quality work on your projects.
Safer work with fewer incidents.
Less rework delaying project timelines or causing budget issues.
Increased ability to support long-term facility construction initiatives.

Testimonials

“C3 is an organization of the times. It was born out of necessity to help contractors understand and overcome the current workforce issues: the lack of craft training and the challenges in recruiting field personnel. It helps in getting all contractors to play by the same rules by paying hourly, deducting taxes, paying overtime, offering benefits and training your employees.”

“We’re all in this together. Having the perspective of an architect focused through the lens of an owner, I know that the construction industry is comprised of many diverse but also interdependent stakeholder entities. Owners, A/E design professionals, contractors & subs, and the various skilled labor trades each serve essential roles across the spectrum of the built environment. C3 endeavors to promote strategic industry practices that will yield a well qualified and sustainable skilled labor workforce essential for the future success of the industry as a whole.”

“We partner with C3 for the assurance we are improving the safety of our projects, employees, and contractors, and are also advancing the professionalism of the industry. We also partner with C3 for assurances we are paying prevailing wages.”
