While many reigning companies held their spots, a couple of other firms moved into the top 10 list of the country’s largest commercial contractors by revenue this year, according to Engineering News-Record.

The 2024 top 10 remain largely the same — New York City-based builder Turner held on to its top spot with $17.1 billion in 2023 revenue, up from the prior year’s $16.3 billion, a 4.9% increase. 

However, Reston, Virginia-based Bechtel was dethroned from its second-place spot by Omaha, Nebraska, building firm Kiewit, which pulled $13.8 billion in 2023 revenue, up from 2022’s $11.2 billion, a gain of 23.2%. Bechtel slid to the third-place spot with $12.9 billion in revenue.

There are two newcomers on this year’s top 10, one of which includes Houston-based McDermott International, which wasn’t part of the 2023 list. The columbus oh dump truck company has had a tumultuous past few years, which included a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing that the firm entered and exited in 2020, where it was also delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. 

PCL Construction, which has had a recent run of stadium projects, is the other newcomer, in the 10th slot.
