What the ABC Rankings Represent
ABC’s Top Performer rankings are based on objective criteria tied to safety performance, workforce development, and hours worked. Contractors must meet rigorous eligibility requirements, including earning STEP Gold status or higher, which signals a strong, measurable commitment to jobsite safety.
The rankings are designed to recognize contractors who operate with discipline and accountability while delivering complex projects across multiple sectors.
For Crossland, inclusion on this list is the result of steady execution and long-term investment in how we build.
Safety as a Daily Practice
Safety continues to be a core driver of Crossland’s performance.
Crossland maintains STEP Diamond recognition through ABC’s Safety Management System and has achieved an Experience Modification Rate (EMR) of 0.34, the lowest in company history.
These results are not tied to a single initiative. They reflect daily decisions made by field teams, supervisors, and leaders who prioritize planning, communication, and accountability on every jobsite.
“Whether it’s the newest employee or the most seasoned vet on the job site we want everyone to embody safety because the main objective is for our employees to go home to their families every single night.” Doug Westervelt, Crossland Safety Director
Performance Across Diverse Markets
Ranking across education, infrastructure, retail, hospitality, and public-sector projects speaks to Crossland’s ability to adapt while maintaining consistent standards.
Each market brings different challenges. Education and healthcare projects require coordination around occupied campuses. Infrastructure work demands precision and schedule control. Retail and hospitality projects often involve compressed timelines and public-facing environments.
Strong performance across these sectors reflects experienced teams, reliable processes, and a workforce that understands how to deliver quality work in varied conditions.
Built on People and Experience
Behind every ranking is a team of people doing the work.
Crossland continues to invest in training, skilled trades development, leadership growth, and long-term career pathways. Many of the leaders overseeing today’s projects began their careers here as interns and grew through hands-on experience.
That continuity strengthens execution, improves safety outcomes, and reinforces accountability at every level.
Looking Ahead
These rankings reflect steady execution, experienced teams, and clear expectations on how work gets done. As projects become larger and more complex, the basics still matter. Preparation, trust, and follow-through continue to drive consistent results.
We’re proud of the teams who made this recognition possible and grateful for the partners and clients who trust us with their work.
