Seufert Construction recognized for construction safety, education and culture
Ferdinand — Seufert Construction achieved the Accredited Quality Contractor credential from Associated Builders and Contractors. ABC is celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Accredited Quality Contractors program in 2023, and only 547 of the nation’s elite merit shop construction contractors most recently earned the credential.
“Culture and safety are part of our core values, and we work hard every day to ensure our employees understand how important they are to the company’s success,” stated Kyle Chase, president and owner of Seufert Construction.
Launched three decades ago, ABC’s AQC program provides recognition to world-class construction firms that have documented their commitment in five areas: quality; safety performance; talent management, including inclusion, diversity and equity; craft and management education; community relations
“Accredited Quality Contractors exemplify top-performing contractors by setting the standard in the contracting community for safety, culture, workforce development, innovation, diversity and quality,” said Michael Bellaman, ABC president and CEO. “Every day, the leaders and employees of Seufert Construction commit to the highest level of corporate and community achievement, embodying the best of ABC’s membership. Congratulations to these outstanding construction companies.”
In earning the AQC credential, each member company commits to world-class safety by achieving the Gold, Platinum or Diamond level in ABC’s STEP Safety Management System. Founded more than three decades ago, STEP dramatically improves safety performance among construction industry participants, with top performers achieving incident rates more than six times safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average.
AQC is recognized by the Construction Users Roundtable, an organization founded by leading construction project owners, and AQC members are eligible for ABC’s Top Performers lists, which rank contractors based on work hours.
