2009
Text size: A A

With the economy in recession and the market in decline, many large contractors are thankful that 2008 was booming, giving them one last chance to build backlogs. The ENR Top 400 Contractors raked in $338.38 billion in contracting revenue in 2008, up 11.2% over the $304.36 billion that the Top 400 took in during 2007. Of 375 contractors on this year’s list that submitted surveys last year, 245 had revenue increases, 128 saw declines and two were virtually unchanged.

The table below shows only rankings and firm name. For complete data from the Top 400 Contractors list see the following links.
