ORLANDO, Fla., March 26, 2026 — Hunton Group announced today that Convergentz, a Hunton Group company, earned first place in the Associated General Contractors of America’s Construction Safety Excellence Awards (CSEA), a national recognition of safety and health programs across the construction industry.

The award was presented March 26 at the AGC Annual Convention in Orlando. The CSEA program evaluates the full scope of a company’s safety management system, including leadership involvement, employee participation, risk management and continuous improvement.

Convergentz advanced through a national selection process to become a finalist among AGC’s nearly 27,000 member firms, including approximately 9,000 specialty contractors.

As part of the final evaluation, the Convergentz team presented its safety program live at the AGC Annual Convention, participated in a formal question-and-answer session and was evaluated by a panel of safety and risk professionals representing construction, insurance and technology organizations.

“This recognition reflects the standards our team works to uphold each day. Safety is part of how we plan the work, how we look out for one another and how we deliver for our customers,” said Kurt McCulloch, president of Convergentz. “We appreciate the recognition from AGC, and we’ll keep doing the work that protects our people, our partners and the communities we serve.”

Convergentz works closely with Hunton Group’s health, safety and environmental team to build safety into its day-to-day operations. That means identifying risks before work begins, giving associates a clear role in keeping jobsites safe and holding teams accountable throughout each project.

For Hunton Group, the award also reflects something bigger than a single program or project: the people behind the work.

“Our people are the reason safety matters,” said Richard Hunton, Jr., President and CEO of Hunton Group. “This award recognizes a Convergentz team that takes care of each other and carries that responsibility onto every jobsite. We’re proud of what they’ve earned and even prouder of how they earned it.”
