This year’s Top General Contractors survey for the Southwest is closed, and we are analyzing the results now. The rankings and analysis is set to publish in ENR Southwest’s July 16 issue. However, I wanted to give readers of this blog an early sneak peek at the results.

The news is mixed. Comparing the top 82 from last year to this year’s 82 respondents, we can see that Arizona contractors saw some healthy gains – over $4.7 billion in revenue came from projects in Arizona in 2011, as opposed to less than $4.1 billion in 2010. New Mexico saw an increase also, though a bit more modest: $1.2 billion in 2011 versus $1.1 billion in 2010.

Unfortunately, all of those gains were negated by a massive drop in Nevada revenue: $1.8 billion in 2011, down more than $1 billion from 2010’s $2.9 billion. This was due to several megaprojects such as the Terminal 3 project at McCarran Airport approaching the end of construction. 

Another statistical sign-of-the-times: renovation revenue was way up, to $1.8 billion in 2011, compared to $1.3 billion in 2010. On the other hand, the number of projects being constructed that will be pursuing LEED certification or equivalent dropped by around 20% in 2011 compared to 2010. 

We’ll discuss these trends and statistics in more detail in the July issue of ENR Southwest, along with our regular rankings of the Top GCs by revenue in each state and in a variety of market sectors, from commercial to transportation. 

In the meantime, here’s an alphabetical list of the firms that you can look forward to seeing ranked in the July print issue, as well as our website.
