MEMPHIS, Tennessee, March 7, 2023 – The West Tennessee Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors (WTCABC) today announced five member companies were named to Associated Builders and Contractors’ fifth annual Top Performers publication, which lists its contractor members that build the country’s most enduring, innovative, high-quality construction projects, ranked by work hours.
The member companies who were recognized in the 2023 list include W.G. Yates Construction, F L Crane & Sons, Flintco Construction, Mechanical Systems Company, and Pyramid Electric, Inc.
“We are thrilled that five of our members have achieved this honor,” said Amber Harris, WTCABC President and CEO. “The local winners are leading the way in the national industry, while maintaining a commitment to world-class safety and workforce development. Our organization is founded on providing resources, continuing education, and networking opportunities for some of the best companies in the region.”
To be eligible, WTCABC Top Performers achieved Gold status or higher in ABC’s STEP Safety Management System, which makes the top-performing contractors more than 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 earn ABC’s Accredited Quality Contractor credential, which recognizes commitment to corporate responsibility in quality, safety, talent management—including inclusion, diversity and equity—education and community relations.
“This year’s ABC Top Performers agree that culture is key,” said Michael Bellaman, President and CEO of ABC. “Not only is a strong corporate culture an essential component of a thriving and vibrant workplace, but it helps retain top talent, create safe and healthy jobsites, and build better communities. We honor these top-performing contractors in West Tennessee that are placing the highest importance on investing in their people, health and safety, and innovation.”
