The Top 225 International Contractors

2012
Text size: A A

Despite some global upheavals and uncertainty, the world construction market showed surprising strength for large contractors in 2011. After being flat in 2009 and 2010, revenue for large international contractors grew last year. However, big contractors working in the international market are expressing some caution about what the future holds.

The strength of the international market in 2011 can be seen in the results of ENR’s Top 225 International Contractors list. As a group, the Top 225 generated $453.02 billion in 2011 contracting revenue from projects outside their home countries, up a healthy 18.1% from in 2010.

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