The Top Owners

Text size: A A

ENR's Top Owners Sourcebook is a detailed analysis of issues concerning construction programs of top U.S. owners--privately-owned firms, non-profit institutions and government agencies. It tells readers who their largest potential clients are, offers insight into what the large clients are thinking, and what they expect from their service providers in the construction industry. It features the construction programs of top U.S. owners--privately-owned firms, non-profit institutions, and government agencies. The Sourcebook ranks 425 publicly traded companies based on construction spending as compiled by Standard & Poors. Separate tables list some of the largest university and healthcare projects, based on construction start value, compiled by McGraw Hill Construction Analytics.
