The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a major disruption in what had been a thriving construction market. And like most of the industry, firms providing alternative project delivery services have been hit. But like all market downturns, the current crisis will end. Many firms delivering design-build and construction management-at-risk services believe pent-up demand will benefit them first.
The 2019 boom can be seen from the results in the ENR Top 100 Construction Management-at-Risk (CMAR) and the Top 100 Design-Build (DB) Firms lists. For the Top 100 CMAR list, the group generated $151.91 billion in revenue from CMAR projects in 2019, up 6.2% from $143.05 billion in 2018.
