Three Rivers Corporation Recognized as a Top-Performing Construction Company by Associated Builders and Contractors for Third Consecutive Year
MIDLAND, MI, Feb. 18—Three Rivers Corporation today announced it ranks 72nd on Associated Builders and Contractors’ 2025 Top Performers list, an annual publication that recognizes the associations’ contractor members’ outstanding achievements in safety, quality, merit, project excellence and special designations ranked by number of hours worked.
For the third year in a row, Three Rivers Corporation is the highest-ranked General Contractor in Michigan, a testament to its ongoing commitment to excellence in the industry.
“As a company that emphasizes safety, quality, and innovation, we are proud to be recognized once again as an ABC Top Performer,” said Jon Lynch, President of Three Rivers Corporation. “This achievement showcases the dedication of our team and our commitment to building stronger communities across Michigan. We take immense pride in our work, and this recognition strengthens our passion for delivering outstanding projects while upholding a strong culture of safety and continuous improvement.”
As an ABC Top Performer, Three Rivers achieved Platinum status, the highest recognition, in ABC’s STEP Safety Management System,® which helps industry-leading contractors achieve incident rates nearly six times safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average, according to ABC’s Safety Performance Report. Three Rivers also earned ABC’s Accredited Quality Contractor credential, which recognizes excellence in quality, safety performance, talent management—including inclusion, diversity and merit—craft and management education and community relations.
“Competition is a healthy constant in the ever-evolving world of construction, and Three Rivers Corporation believes fair and open competition based on merit fosters innovation, increases value and delivers results for the betterment of the individual, the industry and the nation,” said Michael Bellaman, president and CEO of ABC. “ABC top performers are the competitive all-stars of construction, with commonalities like ABC’s STEP Safety Management System, ABC’s Accredited Quality Contractor credential, upskilling and education programs, leadership development, technology implementation and more. These contractors win work based on merit. Congratulations to Three Rivers for competing on a fair and level playing field, building the nation’s most enduring, innovative, high-quality construction projects and for attracting and retaining the best talent, based on merit.”
The seventh annual ABC Top Performers lists include diverse merit shop businesses large and small, from women-, veteran- and minority-owned businesses and service-disabled firms to disadvantaged business enterprises across the country.
Through robust programs like STEP and AQC, Three Rivers demonstrates it:
The ABC Top Performers lists identify the Top 250 Performers, Top General Contractors, Top Trade Contractors, Top Electrical Contractors, Top Plumbing/HVAC Contractors, Top Specialty Contractors and Top Performers by Market, all of which have earned the elite Accredited Quality Contractor credential. The Top Performers with Special Designations hold one or more special designations. The Top Performers were ranked by the number of hours worked in 2023, as reported in their 2024 STEP applications. The rankings also include lists of top-performing companies in 19 market segments, such as airports, data centers, education, health care, industrial, infrastructure, military and sports complexes.
