The CQC Program provides for: establishing criteria for ownership and development; enforcement of standards of excellence for Builders and Associate Contractor members; and to educate the general public as to the benefits of receiving services from members. The Franklin County Builders Association has developed a local CQC program that identifies acceptable levels of industry professionalism, establishes a screening procedure for new and existing members and provides a method for handling consumer complaints.
