In addition to featuring the top-ranked general contractors of the year based on 2016 revenue, the July issue of ENR Midwest will also profile Kansas City's JE Dunn Construction as the 2017 ENR Midwest Contractor of the Year.

Firms responding to ENR Midwest’s annual Top Contractors survey collectively reported a strong increase in 2016 revenue. The 100 general contractors and construction managers who participated in the Midwest Top Contractors survey together reported approximately $34.03 billion in revenue from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin, according to a pre-publication review of the data.

As if selecting Best Projects and Awards of Merit in the various categories wasn’t challenging enough, we asked our ENR Midwest judges to go back and dig a little deeper to help determine our Project of the Year.

In addition to the 20 Best Project and Awards of Merit winners in various categories announced earlier this month, ENR Midwest judges are today recognizing two projects for their safety prowess.
