Manhattan Construction Company Named an ABC Accredited Quality Contractor for Construction Leadership
Manhattan Construction Company today announced that it has again been named an Accredited Quality Contractor by Associated Builders and Contractors. This is the 22nd time it has earned this prestigious credential for its commitment to corporate responsibility.
“The AQC credential is special because it acknowledges our commitment to delivering superior services and quality to our clients, and our premier company programs that support our team members and their families,” said John Reyhan, president of Manhattan Construction Company. “From comprehensive technical and leadership development programs, professional growth opportunities, we invest in every team member so they can succeed both at work and in life. That’s what makes Manhattan an outstanding place to work.”
Established more than three decades ago, ABC’s AQC credential provides recognition to industry-leading construction firms that have documented their commitment in five areas:
- Quality
- Health and safety performance
- Talent management
- Craft and management education
- Community relations
“This industry-leading contractor has proven they not only provide immense value in the marketplace, but they also prioritize their employees’ health and safety, the company culture, and their quality work processes and products,” said Michael Bellaman, ABC president and CEO. “The leaders and employees of Manhattan Construction put in the work and make the decisions daily that set the standard for health and safety, culture, workforce development, innovation, market-based compensation, benefits, and quality in the contracting community. This quality standard is backed and validated by clients and third-party references. Congratulations to this Accredited Quality Contractor; you are a trusted, respected, and transformational leader in the construction industry.”
In earning the AQC credential, each member company commits to industry-leading health and safety by achieving the Gold, Platinum, or Diamond level in ABC’s STEP® Health and Safety Management System.
Established in 1989, STEP provides contractors and suppliers with a robust, no-cost framework for measuring safety data and benchmarking with peers in the industry, with top performers achieving incident rates nearly seven times safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average.
Reaccredited annually, AQC members also make the following pledge: As an Accredited Quality Contractor, our company is committed to providing our clients with the highest-quality construction services, and we care deeply about our employees and the communities in which we build. We are proud to be part of the construction industry and are dedicated to the principles of free enterprise. We commit ourselves to serve our communities and to provide our employees with the skills they need to work safely and productively in order to meet the needs of our clients.
