CRD Named a National, Top-Performing US Construction Company by ABC

We’re pleased to announce that we have been named to the Associated Builders and Contractors’ 2024 Top Performers list, an annual publication that recognizes member contractors’ outstanding achievements in safety, quality, inclusion, project excellence, and special designations ranked by number of hours worked.

As an ABC Top Performer, CRD achieved Diamond status in ABC’s STEP Safety Management System, which helps the best-performing contractors achieve incident rates nearly seven times safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average, according to ABC’s Safety Performance Report.

CRD also earned ABC’s Accredited Quality Contractor credential, which recognizes excellence in quality, safety performance, talent management, craft and management education, and community relations.

Raymond Davis & Sons builds the community’s most enduring, innovative, high-quality construction projects, and its leadership team and employees have thriving, growth-centric mindsets, strategic plans and goals,” said Michael Bellaman, President and CEO of ABC. “Business growth is never an accident. It results from a combination of tangibles and intangibles—including a robust culture, innovative tools, a commitment to total human health and a pragmatic appetite for risk. We congratulate C. Raymond Davis & Sons, an exceptional contractor, for operating successfully in a merit shop environment, attracting and retaining top construction talent and setting the standard in business growth.”
