CRD Honored as a Top-Performing US Construction Company by ABC

 C. Raymond Davis & Sons (CRD) was recently named a top performing U.S. construction company by Associated Builders and Contractors. ABC’s fifth annual Top Performers publication lists its contractor members that build the country’s most enduring, innovative, high-quality construction projects, ranked by work hours. CRD is one of only two Construction Managers in the ABC Eastern PA Chapter to make the list.

As an ABC Top Performer, CRD achieved Diamond status in ABC’s STEP Safety Management System, which makes the top-performing contractors more than six times safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average, according to ABC’s Safety Performance Report.

The majority of the honorees also must earn ABC’s Accredited Quality Contractor credential, which recognizes commitment to corporate responsibility in quality, safety, talent management—including inclusion, diversity and equity—education and community relations.

“C. Raymond Davis & Sons invests in and attributes its successes to its people, and its value proposition gives their employees purpose, delivers quality to their clients and strengthens their bottom line,” said Michael Bellaman, president and chief executive officer of ABC. “Congratulations to CRD for raising the bar in developing people, winning work and delivering that work safely, ethically and profitably.”

“This year’s ABC Top Performers agree that culture is key,” said Michael Bellaman, president and CEO of ABC. “Not only is a strong corporate culture an essential component of a thriving and vibrant workplace, but it helps retain top talent, create safe and healthy jobsites and build better communities. We honor this top-performing contractor and all employees at CRD who are placing the highest importance on investing in their people, health and safety, and innovation.”

Through STEP, AQC and other robust programs, CRD demonstrates that it:

·       Sustain and grow their businesses, financially and economically

·       Offer market-competitive compensation, benefit and retirement packages

·       Commit to world-class safety

·       Commit to workforce development, education and creating career opportunities

·       Commit to an inclusive and diverse work environment

·       Develop opportunities for their employees to achieve their career dreams

·       Cultivate committed leadership


The ABC Top Performers have all earned the elite Accredited Quality Contractor credential and were ranked by the number of hours worked in 2021, as reported in their 2022 STEP applications.
