Discover Modular. Delivered Fast. Built to Last. A Greener Way to Build. START (Start Today And Rebuild Together) Haiti is a construction industry alliance between Associated Builders & Contractors (ABC) and the Modular Building Institute (MBI). START was formed to leverage the resources of the construction industry, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and government agencies to respond quickly and effi ciently with relief and rebuilding efforts following natural disasters. ABC and MBI member companies will provide relief in the form of facilities and supplies to the people of Haiti. By working with Volunteers of America (VoA), Architecture for Humanity (AfH), and government agencies to leverage our resources, our alliance will ensure clean and adequate facilities are in place for the people of Haiti in a timely and orderly manner. Initially, START will raise funds to acquire 12 modifi ed 8 x 20 containers for VoA to use in Haiti. VoA will keep six units and designate six units to AfH. These NGOs will use the containers fi rst as part of their base camp of operations, then later as transitional shelter for Haitian families.
