Sundt Construction Of Tempe, Arizona Named Nation’s Safest Construction Company In 2025 By National Contractors Group

Sundt Construction Wins AGC Construction Safety Excellence Awards Grand Prize as 62 Other Companies Win Awards for Quality Construction Safety & Health Programs

Sundt Construction was recognized for having the nation’s top construction safety and health program in 2025 by the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC). The association, which oversees the Construction Safety Excellence Awards (CSEA), an annual ranking of construction safety and health programs, noted that 62 other companies were also selected as winners for their commitment to occupational safety and health management and risk control.

“These awards spotlight the companies that are not just improving safety – they are defining what excellence looks like for the entire construction industry,” said Trey Pebley, the association’s national senior vice president and chief administrative officer of Foremost Paving, Inc. in Elsa, Texas. “Their leadership sets the pace for others to follow.”

Sundt Construction was judged and selected as the grand award winner from among 22 first-place winners across six occupational divisions. Roberts noted that there are multiple winners because the awards are distributed for several divisions and categories, based on the amount and type of work performed. He added that the CSEA winners are selected by a panel of five independent safety and health professionals within the construction industry. Finals judging for the awards program took place during the contractors’ association’s annual convention in Orlando, Florida.

“The Construction Safety Excellence Awards highlight the very best of our industry – organizations that view safety not as a requirement, but as a core value. WTW and STARR are proud to partner with AGC in recognizing these leaders who are raising the bar for safety and risk management across construction,” said Jon Oppenheim, Head of North America Construction for WTW.

WTW and STARR are the sponsors of the Construction Safety Excellence Awards.
