Leading construction companies in the U.S. 2022, based on revenue

In 2022, Lennar and D.R. Horton were the leading construction and engineering companies in the United States based on revenue. That year, the Houston-based company, Quanta Services, generated a revenue of over 17 billion U.S. dollars. Texas was the state with the highest number of companies in the ranking, as D.R. Horton, Fluor, Jacobs, and other major companies in the industry had their headquarters in the state.

European construction companies in the U.S.

Some of the largest construction companies from Europe are very active abroad and compete in some cases with local companies for projects in the U.S. For example, 17.6 percent of the revenue generated by Saint-Gobain in 2022 came from North America. In a similar manner, one of the leading contractors with its headquarters in Spain, Grupo ACS, generated roughly half of its sales revenue in the United States. The second country in which it was most active was Australia, followed by Spain, its home market, in third place. There are also other smaller European construction firms for which the American market makes up a significant share of their turnover.

U.S. construction companies

AECOM is a company from Dallas that provides construction, architecture, design, and engineering services. During the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, AECOM helped complete two temporary hospitals in New York. Although the Texan firm has stayed in the ranking as one of the largest construction and engineering companies in the country, AECOM's revenue has stalled in recent years. That has allowed for other companies to catch up. That was the case for another engineering company from Texas, Jacobs Solutions, which has had several years of revenue increases, surpassing AECOM's revenue in 2020, despite having had significantly lower revenue figures in previous years.
