ASM launches Business Practices Interchange (BPI) service
In subcontractor organizations around the country, the Business Practices Interchange (BPI) is one of the most valued benefits of membership, and now we are very pleased to offer it here in Massachusetts as well. The BPI is a great way to obtain reliable information about the business practices of general contractors before you decide to do business with them. Essentially, it works like a referral system. If you have a question about a particular contractor, you can simply call ASM and we will refer you to another member who has had first-hand experience with that contractor, so you can talk directly. It's easy and it's free to members. Contact ASM for more information.
