ENR Top 100 Design-Build Firms 2017
June 2017
While alternative delivery systems such as construction management-at-risk and design-build have been used in only specific markets or under certain circumstances, they now are being considered as viable methods to the traditional design-bid-build delivery model. This trend is particularly evident in the public sector, as many state and local laws now allow alternative project delivery.
The Top 100 CMR firms had a combined revenue of $120.25 billion in 2016, up 16.8% from the $102.97 billion reported in 2015. And overall, the Top 100 DB firms had a total revenue of $103.08 billion in 2016, down 3.9% from 2015. However, revenue from domestic DB projects grew a healthy 5.8%, rising to $76.93 billion, in 2016. On the other hand, international DB revenue dropped 24.1% in 2016, thanks in part to a falloff in huge engineering-procurement-construction projects in the international mining, power and petroleum markets.
