##### CSM Group was ranked 124 on Associated Builders and Contractors’ 2021 Top Performers list, which recognizes ABC member contractors’ in safety, quality, diversity, project excellence and special designations, ranked by work hours.
Published as a supplement to [*Construction Executive*](https://www.constructionexec.com/) magazine, the ABC Top Performers lists identify the Top 200 Performers, Top Trade Contractors, Top Electrical Contractors, Top Plumbing/HVAC Contractors, Top Specialty Contractors and Top 100 General Contractors and Top General Contractors Up to $50 million, all of which have earned the elite Accredited Quality Contractor credential, as well as the Top Performers With Special Designations.
> “CSM Group is honored to receive this acknowledgment by ABC for the third consecutive year,” said Julie Byrne, president of CSM Group. “Our construction professionals bring an exceptional level of safety and quality to our projects and they are the reason why we have been named a top contractor.”
To be eligible, CSM Group demonstrated world-class safety performance by achieving Gold status or higher in ABC’s 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 2021 Safety Performance Report](http://abc.org/spr). The 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.
> “The common priorities in our third annual list of ABC Top Performers include culture, safety, innovation, workforce development and driving market value,” said Michael Bellaman, president and chief executive officer of ABC. “Collaboration and adaptation created a safer, more productive jobsite and workplace for CSM Group, and I applaud these industry leaders for setting the standard in developing people, winning work and delivering that work safely, ethically and profitably.”
