ABC releases 2019 Top Performers lists

Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) has released its 2019 Top Performers lists, which recognize ABC member contractors’ achievements in safety, quality, diversity and project excellence ranked by work hours, with special designations identified.

The lists identify the top 150 performers, top 50 performers with special designations and top 20 performers by region.

“ABC Top Performers are leading the way in the merit shop construction industry, where diverse participants are constantly striving to achieve the highest levels of personal and company performance in an environment of fair and open competition,” says Michael Bellaman, the president and chief executive officer of ABC. “These rankings will help the industry identify contractors that have achieved world-class safety performance, demonstrated their commitment to their workers and their communities, and earned recognition for project excellence and diversity.”

To be eligible, top performers must have demonstrated safety performance by implementing ABC’s STEP safety management system. The companies are ranked by size based on the number of hours worked in 2017, as reported in their 2018 STEP applications.

The listings highlight contractors that have earned ABC’s Accredited Quality Contractor credential for their commitment to corporate responsibility in quality, safety, talent management, education, community relations and diversity; those that won national Excellence in Construction, Safety Excellence and Diversity Excellence awards; and those that hold designations awarded to diverse companies to help procure work from government and private entities.
