Bryan Builders has been recognized as Platinum level in the ABC STEP program!

Founded in 1989 as a safety benchmarking and improvement tool, STEP has evolved into a world-class safety management system that dramatically improves safety performance among participants regardless of company size or type of work. Participating ABC member firms measure their safety processes and policies on 25 key components through a detailed questionnaire with the goal of implementing or enhancing safety programs that reduce jobsite incidents.

We implement our comprehensive corporate safety program on all Bryan Builders project sites. Based on a philosophy of training and accountability, this commitment to safety begins with top management, extends through all levels of supervision and is regularly communicated to all crews and personnel.

Our professional staff develops policies and implements programs to ensure safety remains our top priority—every day on every project.
