To assess how global construction companies are, we use two measures: The first is depth, or what percentage of business activity takes place across international borders. The second is breadth, or how widely that activity is spread around the world.
The ENR Top 250 International Contractors survey provides an annual snapshot of the cross-border activities of the world’s largest contractors. Here, we take a longer perspective, using data from the 2005-15 surveys to analyze the globalization of the world’s largest contractors and identify actionable strategy implications.
