Judging from early survey results, specialty contractors in the Midwest have had a busy year.

Every year, we here at ENR Midwest compile and share data from the region’s leading specialty contracting firms, based on their activity from the previous year in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin. Our new Top Specialty Contractors list will be published in the next print issue of ENR Midwest in October … and, if survey results so far are an indication, the busiest companies are reporting notable increases in regional revenue over the year prior.

Not every firm has responded yet, though, so we anticipate the Top 25 changing before we go to print. (If your firm hasn’t completed the survey, it’s not too late. We begged for and received a deadline extension to Monday, Aug. 15, so get on it, folks: https://www.bnpmr.com/?id=951&rid=2646&locale=1&vh=a7640)

Upon closing, we are planning to publish a list of the Midwest’s Top 50 specialty contractors overall. For now, we’re posting an alphabetical list of 25 firms that are destined to be included in this year’s ranking. There's an excellent chance, too, one of these companies will be our Specialty Contractor of the Year:
