Allan Block University
At Allan Block, we like to say the AB stands for “Always Better”. What that means is that our team is striving to always be the best. Training is our best way to make the AB TEAM Always Better. Your local Allan Block Representative has been to AB University to learn the ABC’S of Allan Block wall design and engineering. Many of our local AB Dealers have sent their key staff to AB University too. Many of these same Dealers offer Homeowner “How-To” classes to pass their knowledge along. Our Licensed Producers have had hands-on training on best practices for quality assurance. We offer free tutorials for all our registered engineers to keep them on the front edge of SRW wall design. And our Contractor Certification Classes have trained thousands of local contractors on the proper techniques for wall design and construction. Through training we are committed to making sure every Allan Block team member is “Always Better”.
