Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) recognized CIC Construction Group with Platinum level status in their STEP Safety Management System for 2025. This recognition places CIC among the top contractors in the U.S. committed to world-class safety standards across all operations.
STEP is more than a certificate. It’s a yearly evaluation of how well a company manages safety through training, systems, and results.
To reach Platinum, contractors must provide data that shows low incident rates, effective safety programs, and consistent improvement year after year.
According to ABC, companies at the Platinum level are nearly six times safer than the industry average. That means fewer injuries, better planning, and more accountability on every project. It also reinforces CIC’s ongoing effort to protect its people and partners, while delivering reliable and efficient results for every client.
At CIC, improvement doesn’t come from one policy or department . It comes from daily habits.
• Field employees stop work when something doesn’t look right.
• Supervisors take time to coach and plan instead of rushing.
• Leadership supports safety decisions even when it means slowing down.
These are the actions that STEP measures, and they’re the reason this recognition carries real meaning.
This achievement reflects the mindset our teams bring to every project in North Carolina, Florida, and Puerto Rico, where safety isn’t a checkbox, it’s how we operate.
