Associated Builders & Contractors New Mexico Chapter

We're grateful to ABC National Chair Thomas “Murph” Murphy for taking time out of his incredibly busy schedule to visit ABC New Mexico and celebrate with us at our 2026 Apprentice Graduation.

Murph's commitment to developing the next generation of construction professionals and supporting ABC chapters across the country is truly appreciated. It was an honor to have him join us as we recognized the hard work, dedication, and achievements of our graduating apprentices.

Thank you, Murph, for your leadership, your support of the merit shop philosophy, and for helping make this year's graduation ceremony even more memorable. Congratulations again to the Class of 2026! 🎓

🎓 Graduation Day is Here! 🎓

Today we celebrate the hard work, dedication, and accomplishments of our graduating apprentices. While almost all of our graduates will be joining us at Sandia Casino for our graduation celebration, we'll be missing a few who couldn't make it—including Angel Zambrano from RHOADS Co. in Roswell, New Mexico.

Angel, congratulations on this incredible achievement! Your commitment and perseverance have paid off, and we are extremely proud of all you've accomplished. While we wish you could be with us today, know that you're being celebrated alongside your fellow graduates.

One of our favorite days of the year! 🐾🔨

ABC New Mexico was honored to welcome the students from ACES Public School back to our facility for a hands-on building day. These talented students designed their own blueprints in class this year, then brought those plans to life by building two doghouses with the guidance of ABC instructors and support from EPX New Mexico.

From the classroom to the shop floor, these students showed creativity, teamwork, and real craftsmanship. We are so proud of what they accomplished and grateful to be part of an experience that introduces the next generation to the skilled trades.

Thank you to ACEs Public School, EPX New Mexico, and our ABC instructors for making this day such a success. We were honored to host you again!

Thank you to everyone who attended our Technology Luncheon last Thursday!

We had a fantastic time hearing from Patrick Scarpati, Director of Construction Technology & Innovation at ABC National, as he shared valuable insights and updates on the latest trends and innovations shaping our industry.

A special thank you to our guest vendors and Sandia Golf Club for their outstanding service and hospitality, which helped make the event such a success. We appreciate everyone who joined us and look forward to seeing you at future events!
