Jim Chapman Construction Group (JCCG), a leading Southeast build-to-rent general contractor, has been named a Certified Environmentally Responsible Contractor (CERC), recognizing the company’s commitment to responsible construction practices, environmental risk management and continuous improvement.

"For JCCG, responsible construction goes beyond delivering high-quality communities. It means creating processes that protect our team members, trade partners, residents and the environments where we build," said Chris Mancuso, president of JCCG. "CERC certification reflects our ongoing commitment to education and accountability."

The CERC certification recognizes trade and general contractors that demonstrate a commitment to best management practices designed to prevent the release of toxic and hazardous pollutants into the environment. JCCG joins a group of contractors focused on improving construction standards through education, proactive planning and effective operational practices.

To achieve CERC certification, contractors must demonstrate financial responsibility for pollution cleanup and establish pollution prevention practices (PPPs) designed to reduce environmental risks associated with construction activities. These practices help contractors proactively manage potential hazards while protecting natural resources and surrounding communities.

JCCG prioritizes proactive planning, employee education and standardized processes that reduce risk and support responsible construction. The certification reinforces the company's commitment to continuous improvement while protecting the environments where it builds.

“Safety and innovation are foundational to how we operate,” said Jim Chapman, CEO of JCCG. “CERC status allows us to continue raising the standard for construction practices and provide our partners with confidence that their projects are being managed with care and expertise.”

With projects across the Southeast, JCCG continues to expand its reputation as a specialized construction partner for build-to-rent communities by combining industry knowledge, experienced teams and forward-thinking processes. The company remains focused on delivering communities efficiently while maintaining the highest standards for safety, quality and responsible construction.
