Every year a select number of ABC members meet the exacting standards that allow them to be named Accredited Quality Contractors (AQC). ABC's AQC program was launched in 1993 to provide a platform to publicly recognize and honor those construction firms that have documented their commitment to quality achievement in four key areas of corporate responsibility:

  • Safety - AQC members are required to participate in the ABC safety training and evaluation process (STEP) program at the gold or platinum level.
  • Employee Benefits - Participants must excel in the area of employee benefits by offering both their salary and hourly employees benefits that are above or beyond the norm for the construction industry.
  • Training - A letter is required by the training provider confirming their employees receive craft and/or management education.
  • Community Relations and Outreach Activities - AQC members provide evidence of continued community involvement and of their efforts to improve the image of the construction industry.

AQC members must also provide evidence of quality work through letters from clients, proof of industry awards for projects they have completed and membership in the Chamber of Commerce or like organizations. AQC companies must be certified annually to retain their status.
