Only 832 of the nation’s elite merit shop construction contractors earned the credential in 2025. 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

“This industry-leading construction company is among an elite group of contractors, proving they are an employer of choice, provide immense value in the marketplace, prioritize health and safety, and curate an outstanding company culture,” said Michael Bellaman , ABC president and CEO. “The team at Brindley Construction puts in the dedicated work and makes the daily decisions that set the standard for health and safety, culture, workforce development, innovation, market-based compensation, benefits and quality in the contracting community. This credential is also backed and validated by clients and third-party references. Congratulations to Brindley Construction for earning this prestigious credential and thank you for being a trusted, respected and transformational leader in the construction industry.”
