In last year’s ranking of general contractors, the Top 100 reached a record high of $19.6 billion of work performed in Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico in calendar year 2008. This year’s Top 100 (ranked with 2009 revenue) only managed to bring in $14.2 billion, a drop of 27.7%. At no other point in the 14-year history of Southwest Contractor’s ranking has there been as precipitous of a drop.
