(York, Pa.) Wagman Construction, a proud member of Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) Keystone and Greater Baltimore chapters, is honored to announce that it has again been named an Accredited Quality Contractor (AQC) by ABC. Wagman Construction has earned this prestigious credential for its commitment to corporate responsibility. Only 525 of the nation’s elite merit shop construction contractors earned the credential in 2023.
“Our commitment to safety, education, and a strong company culture is at the heart of everything we do, and achieving the Accredited Quality Contractor certification underscores this dedication. This recognition reflects our team’s focus on corporate responsibility, as well as our promise to ensure every project is driven by the highest standards of quality and care. We’re proud to contribute positively to our industry and community by prioritizing the safety and well-being of our people and by encouraging growth, learning, and respect in the workplace,” says Jan Wagner, President of Wagman Construction.
Launched 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 (including inclusion, diversity, and merit), craft and management education, and community relations.
“Every day, the leaders and employees of Wagman Construction put in the work and make the decisions that deliver the highest-quality construction services to their communities and embody the highest level of corporate achievement,” said Michael Bellaman, ABC president and CEO. “Accredited Quality Contractors are top-performing ABC contractor members that set the standard for safety, culture, workforce development, innovation, merit, and quality in the contracting community. Congratulations to these outstanding construction companies; you exemplify the best of ABC’s membership.”
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 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 six 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.
