The Co-op Model

A1DesignBuild is equally owned and democratically governed by the people who work here and worker-owners share equally in the profit of the company. Employee-owned businesses are not only better for employees and the business, they're better for clients — everyone is vested in success— and the community. Employee-owned companies increase job quality and have demonstrable positive affects on job creation, and on local business retention. Employees of worker-owned businesses often have better pay and benefits, and have higher retirements savings. We’re happy to share all that we’ve learned in the process of establishing and operating a worker-owned cooperative. The more this model spreads, the stronger and more resilient our community grows.
