CSM Group today announced it has been named a 2026 Top Performer by Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), ranking No. 158 out of 250 contractors nationwide and No. 73 out of 196 General Contractors on ABC’s annual Top Performers lists.
Established in 2018, the ABC Top Performers program recognizes contractor members for outstanding achievements in health and safety, quality, talent management, and project excellence, with rankings based on total hours worked.
> “This recognition reflects far more than how much work we’ve completed; it represents how we choose to do the work,” said [Stuart Mason](https://www.csmgroup.com/about-us/stuart-mason), Chief Executive Officer of CSM Group. “Being named an ABC Top Performer reinforces our belief that lasting success is built on strong values, disciplined execution, and an unwavering commitment to our people. It symbolizes the culture we’ve built, one where safety, accountability, and execution set the standard, and where our teams are empowered to do what others think can’t be done.”
As an ABC Top Performer, CSM Group earned Diamond status in ABC’s STEP® Health and Safety Management System, which helps participating contractors achieve incident rates nearly seven times safer than the industry average, according to ABC’s Health and Safety Performance Report. CSM Group also holds ABC’s Accredited Quality Contractor (AQC) credential, which recognizes excellence in quality, safety performance, workforce development, leadership, and community engagement.
CSM Group is an active participant in ABC programs and initiatives that promote merit shop principles and advance the construction industry through education, safety leadership, and workforce development.
> “Contractors like CSM Group, which build the most enduring, innovative, high-quality construction projects, develop smart strategies that createa clear path for success, regardless of the circumstances,” said Michael Bellaman, ABC president and CEO. “ABC Top Performers all share commonalities like participation in ABC’s STEP® Health and Safety Management System and ABC’s Accredited Quality Contractor credential. They find opportunity amid uncertainty, embrace competition, cultivate a positive company culture, prioritize safety and overall human health, invest in leadership and workforce development, and implement new technologies. Congratulations to CSM Group for being an employer of choice.”
Through its participation in ABC’s STEP and AQC programs, CSM Group demonstrates its ability to:
- Sustain and grow a financially sound business
- Offer competitive compensation, benefits, and retirement programs
- Commit to industry-leading health and safety practices
- Invest in workforce development and career advancement
- Create long-term opportunities for employee growth
- Cultivate strong, values-driven leadership
The eighth annual ABC Top Performers lists identify top companies across multiple categories, including Top 250 Performers, Top General Contractors, Top Trade Contractors, and Top Performers by market sector. Rankings are based on 2024 work hours reported in 2025 STEP applications, with all honorees earning the Accredited Quality Contractor credential.
