Breeden Construction Earns Prestigious National Quality Credential for Leadership in Construction

At Breeden Construction, quality is about more than the projects we build. It is reflected in how we support our people, protect our teams, serve our clients and strengthen the communities where we live and work. That commitment has earned Breeden Construction recognition as an Accredited Quality Contractor (AQC) by Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), a national credential recognizing contractors that demonstrate excellence in corporate responsibility and construction performance.

This marks Breeden Construction’s first year earning the AQC designation, placing the company among an elite group of contractors nationwide recognized for their commitment to quality, safety, workforce development and company culture.

“Earning ABC’s Accredited Quality Contractor credential is a testament to the culture we foster every day across our job sites and offices,” said Brian Revere, President of Breeden Construction. “Our greatest asset will always be our people. We believe that true construction excellence starts with an uncompromising dedication to the health, safety, and well-being of every team member.

“By continuously investing in comprehensive education, leadership development, and top-tier talent management, we empower our workforce to build safely, grow professionally, and consistently deliver the highest caliber of work to our clients.”

A Commitment to Excellence

Established more than three decades ago, ABC’s Accredited Quality Contractor program recognizes construction companies that document their commitment to five key areas:

  • Quality
  • Health and safety performance
  • Talent management
  • Craft and management education
  • Community relations

Only 832 of the nation’s elite merit shop construction contractors earned the credential in 2025, making the recognition an important reflection of the standards Breeden Construction strives to uphold each day.

AQC accreditation also reflects an ongoing commitment. Accredited contractors pledge to provide clients with high-quality construction services while caring deeply about their employees and the communities in which they build. The program emphasizes equipping employees with the skills, education and resources necessary to work safely, productively and successfully.

Building Excellence Through Our People

For Breeden Construction, earning the AQC credential reinforces a philosophy that has long guided our work: great buildings begin with great people.

From comprehensive safety practices and professional development to leadership training and opportunities for career growth, investing in our workforce directly strengthens the service and quality we provide to our clients.

ABC President and CEO Michael Bellaman recognized AQC companies as industry leaders that demonstrate their value not only through the quality of their work, but also through their commitment to health and safety, workforce development, innovation, compensation, benefits and company culture.

That recognition is especially meaningful because the AQC credential is backed by client and third-party references, providing additional validation of the standards Accredited Quality Contractors bring to the construction industry.

Continuing to Raise the Standard

Earning the Accredited Quality Contractor designation is an honor, but it is also a responsibility.

Breeden Construction will continue investing in the people, programs and practices that allow our teams to work safely, develop professionally and deliver exceptional results. From the job site to the corporate office, our commitment remains the same: build with integrity, lead with purpose and provide our clients with the quality and professionalism they expect from Breeden Construction.

We are proud of our team for making this achievement possible and look forward to continuing to raise the standard for construction excellence.
