DOWNERS GROVE, IL., December 5th, 2024 — Sevan Multi-Site Solutions Inc., (Sevan) of Downers Grove, Illinois today announced that it has been named an Accredited Quality Contractor by Associated Builders and Contractors. Sevan has earned the prestigious credential for its commitment to corporate responsibility. Only 525 of the nation’s elite merit shop construction contractors earned the credential in 2023.
“Our mission is to be our clients’ trusted partner. We guide our clients—with great thought and diligence—on every aspect of their multi-site program,” said Jim Evans, CEO and Founder. “Earning this accreditation highlights our commitment to our mission and our dedication to delivering excellence. With every project, we work hard to earn trust, and the only way to do that is to operate to the highest standards possible.”
“At Sevan, our commitment to safety is the cornerstone of everything we do,” said Chris Carter, Director of Safety for Sevan. “Our incredible team works around the clock to ensure every challenge and concern is anticipated and addressed. We know that by creating a safe environment, you support the health of the entire company—and enhance the quality of every project. This accreditation further solidifies our commitment to safety, and the communities we serve.”
Launched more than three decades ago, ABC’s AQC credential provides recognition to industry-leading construction firms that have documented their commitment in five areas:
- Quality
- Health and safety performance
- Talent management, including inclusion, diversity and merit
- Craft and management education
- Community relations
“Every day, the leaders and employees of Sevan put in the work and make the decisions that deliver the highest-quality construction services to their communities and embody the highest level of corporate achievement,” said Michael Bellaman, ABC president and CEO. “Accredited Quality Contractors are top-performing ABC contractor members that set the standard for safety, culture, workforce development, innovation, merit and quality in the contracting community. Congratulations to these outstanding construction companies; you exemplify the best of ABC’s membership.”
In earning the AQC credential, each member company commits to industry-leading health and safety by achieving the Gold, Platinum or Diamond level in ABC’s STEP Safety Management System. Established in 1989, STEP provides contractors and suppliers with a robust, no-cost framework for measuring safety data and benchmarking with peers in the industry, with top performers achieving incident rates nearly six times safer than the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics industry average.
