Associated Builders and Contractors of Alabama announced that 28 member companies were named to ABC National’s 2025 Top Performers. This annual publication recognizes its contractor members’ outstanding achievements in safety, quality, merit, project excellence, and special designations ranked by the number of hours worked.
Three Alabama-based companies were recognized as the top-performing contractors by market section. BL Harbert International was the top performer in the government and hospitality sectors, Robins and Morton was the top performer in the healthcare sector, and Brasfield and Gorrie was the top performer in the sports complex sector.
To qualify, ABC of Alabama Top Performers must utilize ABC’s STEP Safety Management System,® which helps industry-leading contractors achieve incident rates nearly 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 attain ABC’s Accredited Quality Contractor credential, which recognizes excellence in quality, safety performance, talent management—including inclusion, diversity, and merit—craft and management education, and community relations.
“Competition is a healthy constant in the ever-evolving world of construction, and ABC of Alabama’s top contractors believe in fair and open competition based on merit fosters innovation, increases value, and delivers results for the betterment of the individual, the industry, and the nation,” said ABC Board Chairman Tim Harrison of Harrison Construction.
Harrison continued, “ABC top performers are the competitive all-stars of construction, with commonalities like ABC’s STEP Safety Management System, ABC’s Accredited Quality Contractor credential, upskilling and education programs, leadership development, technology implementation, and more. These contractors win work based on merit. Congratulations to our outstanding contractors for competing on a fair and level playing field, building the nation’s most enduring, innovative, high-quality construction projects, and attracting and retaining the best talent based on merit.”
