MMR Group, Wayne Brothers Named ENR Texas & Southeast's Specialty Contractors of the Year
A focus on worker training and safety were common traits for ENR Texas & Southeast's 2025 Specialty Contractors of the Year—MMR Group of Baton Rouge, La.; and Wayne Brothers Cos., based in Davidson, N.C.
In ENR Texas & Southeast's December 2025 print issue, we'll be putting the spotlight on specialty contracting firms working across this sprawling region. First, our annual Top Specialty Contractors ranking report will provide a broader perspective than before, the result of ENR's combining of the Texas & Louisiana and Southeast sub-regions into the ENR Texas & Southeast "super region."
We're also growing the ENR Texas & Southeast ranking by enabling firms that already participate with ENR's national Top 600 Specialty Contractors survey to incorporate their regional revenue in our Regional Edition rankings as well.
Additionally, the ENR Texas & Southeast print issue with profile two firms as Specialty Contractor of the Year for the respective Texas & Louisiana and Southeast subregions—MMR Group of Baton Rouge, La., and Wayne Brothers Cos. of Davidson, N.C. Both firms achieved notable success during 2024, as noted in the self nominations each submitted to ENR.
For example, Baton Rouge-based electrical and industrial contractor MMR Group reported that it achieved a record-breaking 2024 with more than $2.3 billion in revenue—which was a big jump from the year prior. Additionally, MMR garnered recognition from Associated Builders and Contractors as one of the nation's top electrical trade contractor.
North Carolina-based Wayne Brothers Cos. continued to achieve success in 2024, reporting $236.1 million in revenue from the Texas & Southeast region. Also of note is the civil, industrial and concrete contractor's safety record in 2024, with the company achieving more than 3 million worker hours without a lost-time accident. The contractor kept working safely in 2025, reporting via its Specialty Contractor of the Year nomination it had achieved more than 4.5 million worker hours without a safety incident.
