(Goodhue, Minnesota) March 8, 2022 — Today, Knobelsdorff was ranked #89 on Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) 2022 Top 200 Performers list, which ranks its commercial and industrial contractor members that build long-lasting high-quality construction projects, based on work hours. Knobelsdorff also ranked #48 on the ABC’s Top 100 General Contractors in the U.S. This is the third year Knobelsdorff has earned this award. Eligibility requirements for the top 100 general contractors include contractors that achieved STEP Gold or higher and earned ABC’s AQC credential in 2020, ranked by works hours.
Karl von Knobelsdorff, CEO and President of Knobelsdorff says, “We are proud to be ranked in the top 200 performers and top 100 general contractor companies by ABC. Knobelsdorff is grateful to be a part of many world-class organizations that focus on safety on and around the worksite while we GSD.”
