Why Benchmark
Quality Control
Our quality control process starts in preconstruction and carries through procurement, construction, and close-out. Early identification of potential challenge areas and setting expectations early is key to a successful quality control program.
During construction, we staff an on-site quality control manager who collaborates with the project management team. The quality control manager will ensure that the executed work follows industry and Benchmark quality standards. Our team uses FinishLine, a cloud-based punch list management software for quality control. Our team has found that implementing the QR code program allows for a quicker, more organized punch list process throughout the project.
Safety
At Benchmark, we are safety focused. This isn’t just a slogan or something that applies only to active job sites. It involves key drivers that are incorporated into our practical approach to safety and permeate our entire operation. These actionable key drivers are: EDUCATE, DELIVER, MEASURE, AND IMPROVE.
These key drivers represent a cycle – and it’s a cycle that works. Benchmark has achieved a best-in-class EMR rating of .655 and was awarded National Safety Excellence award from Associated Builders and Contractors in 2022 and 2025 and two merit awards in 2015 and 2017.
Sustainability
Everything we build impacts our community. With a commitment to sustainability and a focus on integrity, we are dedicated to building a better community for future generations.
For over three decades, Benchmark has demonstrated a commitment to green practices and has guided our clients, subcontractors, and partners toward sustainable decisions. Through the preconstruction and construction process, our in-depth knowledge of LEED, Passive Building Principles, and Green Advantage Best Practices guides our clients’ decisions on sustainability, green building, and the related cost implications. With thoughtful choices on green practices, our clients can envision their positive impact on the environment and the community.
Award-winning Experience
Benchmark has had the honor of receiving over 200 industry-related awards since our inception in 1985. These high-profile projects have earned recognition from the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), and the American Society of Health Care Engineering (ASHE). These high-profile projects are awarded based on complexity, attractiveness, project challenges, schedule, innovation, and safety. From the Dickinson College High Street Residence Hall to the Rolex Lititz Watch Technicum and everything in between, Benchmark takes pride in its work and seeks ways to add value for our clients.
Built to Care
Benchmark is deeply committed to fostering an environment where every employee has the opportunity to see their skills, experiences, and perspectives contribute directly to the business’s success. This commitment to sound business management is ingrained in our core values, embedded in our company policy, and guides our operations at Benchmark.
