by | Mar 18, 2021 | Awards, News

MAUMEE, OH — CMS Corporation (CMS) was ranked 36th on the Associated Builders and Contractors’ (ABC) 2021 “Top Performers with Special Designations” list, which recognizes ABC member firms in the areas of safety, quality, diversity, project excellence and special designations, ranked by work hours. CMS is proud to be certified as a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) by the National Minority Supplier Development Council.

Published as a supplement to Construction Executive magazine, the ABC Top Performers lists identify industry top performers in a number of categories, including Top 200 Performers, Top Trade Contractors, Top Specialty Contractors, etc., all of which have earned the elite Accredited Quality Contractor (AQC) credential, as well as the “Top Performers With Special Designations.”

Company CEO Ernest Enrique stated, “CMS has been a member of ABC for nearly 10 years. During this time, ABC has recognized CMS, a merit-based construction contractor, via numerous excellence-in-construction and safety awards. We are proud to be a member of the ABC organization and ranked #36 on their list of top-performing construction contractors with special designations.”

To be eligible, CMS demonstrated world-class safety performance by achieving Gold status or higher in ABC’s Safety Training Evaluation Process (STEP) Safety Management System, which makes the top-performing contractors up to 655% safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average, according to the ABC 2020 Safety Performance Report. Top Performers were ranked by size based on the number of hours worked in 2019, as reported in their 2020 STEP applications. ABC members that earn the AQC credential certify their commitment to quality, safety, craft and management education, talent management, inclusion, diversity and equity and community relations.

CMS is a previous recipient of numerous ABC awards, including the STEP Award, Platinum Level (2020), and the “Award of Excellence in Construction, Federal Government/Military Under $10M” category (2018). This is the second time CMS has been named to ABC’s Top Performers with Special Designations” list.
