Top contractors in the general-building sectors continue to see big bumps in revenue, especially those expanding their geographic reach. AECOM tallied a jaw-dropping 54.5% increase in domestic general-building revenue last year. Dan McQuade, president of construction services at AECOM, says the company finally is seeing its construction services reach across the country.
AECOM acquired Tishman Construction in 2010, giving the company a strong foothold in New York City but limited opportunities elsewhere. The 2014 acquisition of Hunt Construction significantly expanded its territories, especially in major sports-stadium work.
