The 125 Texas firms in our 15th annual Top Contractor rankings collectively billed about $24 billion in the state in 2009, a decrease of about $1 billion reported from the 2008, when we listed an additional five firms for a total of 130. Worldwide, the collective revenue generated by the 125 participating firms decreased from the previous year by about $20 billion; $80.4 billion was reported from all revenue worldwide compared to the previous year’s $102.8 billion. That $80.4 billion, however, is not drastically different than the $82.5 billion from the Top Contractors total of 2007, considered by many to be a robust year for Texas.
Other findings from the ranking, found on the following pages, include our specialty categories. These so-called “breakout rankings” arrange contractors by different types of construction. These follow the main chart.
