From the President to Project Management to Trade Labor, safety is a daily discussion at CCC. Safety is imperative in our culture. Care for People at CCC is going above and beyond and to great lengths to ensure the well-being and safety of all in the workplace. Workers are considerate for the physical and mental safety of their peers and will step up to identify hazards and substandard conditions, and workers will have the courage to approach and intervene if they see their fellow workers putting themselves in danger due to at-risk behavior.
CCC is continually adapting to the physical and mental challenges of the world around us, to nurture a culture that encourages compassion and courage to actively care about others. We are proud to be a company that has an inclusive workplace, free of harassment and does not discriminate based on age, color, race, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, veteran status and/or disability status.
To maintain an environment where people perpetually feel safe, valued, and heard.
“CCC is committed to delivering great projects for our clients and great experiences for our employees. This starts with our mission to identify, hire and retain the very best people. We will work to foster a bias-free environment where people are valued, respected and welcomed to share ideas, concerns and experiences. Together we will create a culture of belonging.”
Stephen Fragnoli,
President & CEO
We are one team, made up of passionate and trustworthy people. CCC understands that it is with a diverse team that we shall deliver construction projects that hold the most value and success to our customers.
CCC welcomes and respects the diversity of our suppliers, employees, and customers with our participation in programs, policy formulation, and decision-making. We take an activity based approach to diverse supplier development. To demonstrate the development of this commitment and continued training we participate in the following activities:
We are a corporate member of the Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council. Participating in programs that provide exclusive access to top corporate purchasing agents, premium networking events, searchable supplier databases, affordable consulting services, technology programs, and vital introductions to nationally known corporations.
CCC added the LGBTQ designation to our program and has an established and dedicated DE&I Committee for the continual development of our diverse supplier portfolio that resides in our departments. With this pro-active approach to supplier diversity, we are able to form alliances with diverse owned businesses.
Founded in 2021, CCC’s Women’s Angle group assists women at the company in their professional and personal development journey with the support of the company’s executive board. The group’s mission is to elevate women within the CCC organization and the construction industry by supporting, educating, and providing new opportunities. In a male-dominated industry, this group is dedicated to providing the resources needed for women to thrive in the field and office by growing their ability to communicate, adapt, and lead in an authentic manner.
CCC also participates in and leads multiple construction industry associations to foster education, hands on training, and career growth for women.
Encouraging access, skill development and inclusion of minorities and women within the skilled trades. CCC participated with Ford Motor Company in their Fast Track Program, a four month paid work experience program to help create a sustainable pipeline of talent for the construction industry in Detroit. The goal of the program is that participants be recognized as valuable future employees during their four month program and apply to formal apprenticeship programs or apply for fulltime jobs with contractors.
CCC supports numerous local education workforce development organizations to raise awareness of and generate interest in construction.
One of these is the Clarkston Build Your Future program. CCC has partnered with Clarkston Schools in Michigan to provide students with hands-on construction activities and pique interest in the industry.
Activities have included:
CCC previously sponsored a young man in his journey through the trades. His role as a Millwright Apprentice has strengthened his admiration and interest in the industry, and he looks forward to what this new career will bring. Speaking with members of our DE&I Committee, he confessed that he never thought an opportunity like this would present itself, and immediately felt more confident in himself and his future.

CCC regularly participates in Construction Inclusion Week, a week to unite the built environment to focus on creating a more welcoming and inclusive construction industry. This initiative reflects the industry’s commitment to increasing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Construction Inclusion Week seeks to unify an expansive network of industry professionals around the vital mission of promoting DEI.
This initiative is not just about raising awareness; it’s about providing practical content and actionable resources to advance inclusion. By highlighting the importance of diversity and inclusion, we drive improvements within our organizations, elevate our projects, and inspire a new standard of excellence and innovation industry-wide.
Every year, during September — National Suicide Prevention Month — the construction industry dedicates a week to raising awareness about the unique challenges workers face in construction, how it can lead to suicide, and what we can do to prevent it.
The construction industry has one of the highest suicide rates among professions — with the rate among male construction workers 75% higher than men in the general population, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. An estimated 6,000 construction workers died by suicide in 2022, an increase from 2021, according to the most recent data available. That compares to around 1,000 who died from a construction work-related injury.
CCC is a proud multi-year participant in Construction Suicide Prevention Week, providing mental health and crisis resources and activities for our crews to raise awareness and reduce the stigma.
