BRIDGING THE GAP Brayman Construction is replacing the 106-year-old Jonathan Hulton Bridge,
which runs across the Allegheny River between Harmar and Oakmont, Pa.
It was 1964. The Beatles were taking America by storm. The Civil Rights Act became law. At the New York World’s Fair, General Motors’ Futurama ride touted continent-spanning highways. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced a $2-billion construction program to support the moon shot. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel and New York City’s Verazzano-Narrows Bridge opened.
And in its Aug. 6, 1964, issue, ENR magazine introduced its roundup of the 400 Largest Construc-tion Contractors, the first time ENR published its Top 400 Contractors list. It was based on the volume of new construction contracts won in 1963 and was the result of a survey of U.S. construction contractors.
ENR had ranked contractors in the past; in fact, the first large list was published in 1958. In that list, ENR ranked 62 contractors based on new, domestic contract awards using 1956 data published in its “Construction Daily” publication, the forerunner to McGraw Hill Construction’s Dodge reports.
“Over the years, ENR’s business-news department had been reporting contract awards and bidding infor-mation,” says Arthur Fox, ENR’s editor at the time. “We could add up dollars’ worth of contracts we had reported in the past year for each contractor, and we could rank the contractors. So we did.”
The launch of the Top 400 was not without contro-versy. “There surely were criticisms and corrections called for in the early years,” says Fox. But the ENR Top 400 quickly caught on, he notes. Rankings became “a matter of pride [and] a matter of competition” for contractors, Fox says.
Over the years, the Top 400 Contractors list has spun off other lists. The Top 400 subcontractor rank-ings became the ENR Top 600 Specialty Contractors list. The Top 400 rankings for international work be-came the ENR Top International Contractors and Top International Design Firms lists. And the Top 400 project-delivery lists spun off the stand-alone CM-at-
Risk, Design-Build, CM-for-Fee and Program Management lists.
In 1994, ENR announced that future Top 400 Contractors lists would be based on contracting revenue, rather than new contracts, as massive, multi-year government contracts began to distort the previous ranking method. ENR also announced it would require either a financial statement verifying the accuracy of each firm’s survey or a sign-off by the company’s CEO or senior officer affirming the accuracy of the data submitted.
Whatever Happened To … ?The firms on the list have changed over the years, of course. Many contracting giants from the first Top 400 list are long gone or have been acquired, merged or otherwise assimilated into other organizations.
The No. 1 firm on the 1964 list was Ebasco Ser-vices Inc., which was long associated with the design and construction of nuclear powerplants, including the Fukushima Daiichi plant in Japan, which melted down in 2011. Ebasco was acquired by Raytheon

Top 400 Contractors, Then and Now
#190TEICHERT (No. 81 in 1964) started in 1887 and now is led by fourth- and fifth- generation family members Jud Riggs, CEO, and Mary Teichert Rotelli, COO.
Below is a selection of contractors that were ranked on the original Top 400 list in 1964 and that continue to be ranked under their own name on the 2014 list. Many 1964 Top 400 Contractors are still around as subsidiaries of other firms and are not listed below.
Engineers & Constructors, which was subsequently sold to Washington Group, later acquired by URS. Former employees still keep in touch. A Facebook page dedicated to Ebasco was created in 2008.
The No. 2-ranked firm was George A. Fuller Co., New York City, which built the original Pennsylvania Station in New York City, R.H. Macy’s flagship store and the iconic Flatiron Building. Fuller was acquired by the Northrup (Aircraft) Corp. in 1971.
Third on the list was Morrison-Knudsen Co., the Boise, Idaho-based builder of the Hoover Dam. Wash-ington Group acquired M-K in 1996.
Many other familiar names from the 1960s have disappeared. For example, S.J. Groves & Sons Co., Minneapolis, was ranked at No. 12 on the 1964 list but shut down in 1989 after the Groves family left the firm. And J.A. Jones Construction Co., Charlotte, N.C., was No. 17 in 1964 but closed in 2003, after its parent, Philipp Holzmann, Germany, collapsed.
Many contractors from the 1964 list continue to work under their own names as subsidiaries of other firms. For example, Stone & Webster—No. 24 in 1964—still does operations and maintenance on nu-
clear powerplants as a subsidiary of CB&I; Tishman Realty & Construction (No. 29) is a subsidiary of AECOM; The Austin Co. (No. 34) is owned by Kajima USA; T.L. James & Co. (No. 35) is now a unit of Primoris Services; and Guy F. Atkinson Co. (No. 69) is a subsidiary of Clark Group.
Some firms from the 1964 list continue in business but no longer do much construction. For example, No. 20 firm Koppers Co. Inc., Pittsburgh, reverted to its core business: chemicals and materials. No. 55, Starrett Bros. & Eken Inc., which built the Empire State Build-ing, now is a developer and building manager. And Alhambra, Calif.-based Vinnell Corp.—No. 39 in 1964—now is owned by defense contractor Northrup Grumman and is a military training and support firm.
The industry has evolved over the past 50 years and will continue to do so. New firms continue to flourish and grow. For example, four contractors on the 2014 Top 400 were founded in 1964: Brasfield & Gorrie, The Yates Cos., Q&D Construction Inc. and MEDCO Construction. In a constantly changing industry, ENR’s Top 400 will continue to track these changes, as it has for 50 years. PH

If there is one thing to be learned over the past 50 years of the ENR Top 400 Contractors list, it is that construction is a cyclical industry. Some recessions were deep and prolonged, such as the recessions following the Arab-oil boycott in the 1970s, the savings-and-loan debacle in the late 1980s and the housing and banking crisis of the late 2000s, from which the industry is just now emerging.
Each of these recessions took its toll on the industry. But for those contractors that survived these downturns, the lessons learned were invaluable. Even as the industry slowly climbs out of this latest trough, contractors continue to embrace the processes that helped them make it through the past six years.
Evidence of the market’s recovery can be seen in this year’s ENR Top 400 Contractors list. As a group, the Top 400 generated $324.16 billion in contracting revenue in 2013, an increase of 4.8% from 2012’s $309.45 billion. The figure is still below the record $338.38 billion in 2008 contracting revenue reported in our 2009 Top 400.
Domestic contracting revenue accounted for the Top 400’s overall increase this year, rising 6.6% in 2013, to $249.34 billion, while international contract-ing revenue fell 0.8%, to $74.83 billion. While the domestic market clearly is beginning to make progress toward prosperity, it still has a way to go to match the
record $281.36 billion in domestic contracting reve-nue by the Top 400 in 2008.
The biggest gainer among markets was petroleum, up 21.1%. General building also saw a healthy 10.8% gain in 2013 over 2012. And surprisingly, the sewer-and-waste market made a 10.2% comeback in 2013 over 2012, after two dismal years and amid fears that public funding for infrastructure was drying up.
The other markets covered by the ENR survey saw declines in revenue in 2013 from 2012. Industrial process fell the most, down 28.7%. Revenue from power projects fell 12.8%, but much of this decline can be traced to the absence of First Solar Inc., Tempe, Ariz., which reported over $3 billion in solar-power construction revenue in last year’s survey but did not respond this year.
Other declines include telecommunications (down 15.2% in 2013 from 2012), hazardous waste (down 9.2%), transportation (down 7.5%), manufacturing (down 2.2%) and water supply (down 0.9%).
The numbers are not as grim on the domestic side. Petroleum revenue from projects in the U.S. was up 25.1%, while the domestic general building market rose 12.5%. Sewer-and-waste project revenue in the U.S. was up 15.3%, water-supply project revenue rose 1.5% and transportation revenue was up 0.9%.
Bechtel was, once again, the top contractor on the

THE TOP 400 CONTRACTORS OVERVIEW
Top 400, the 16th straight year it has been No. 1 on the list. Bechtel has had some huge wins recently, says Bill Dudley, Bechtel’s new CEO. In 2013, a Bechtel-led consortium won a contract worth approximately $10 billion to design and build two of the six rail lines of the Riyadh Metro network in Saudi Arabia. And in December, Bechtel won an engineering and construc-tion contract to build a desalination plant and a 114-mile pipeline to supply water to the Escondida copper mine in Chile for BHP Billiton.
Fluor also had a big year in 2013, ranking at No. 2 on the Top 400. It had a huge first quarter in 2014, booking a record $10.7 billion in new projects. Among the biggest were the Kitimat liquefied-natural-gas export terminal at Bish Cove, British Columbia, which Fluor is joint-venturing with Japan’s JGC Corp. Fluor also was named the preferred bidder on the Magnox Ltd. contract to manage and decommission 12 nuclear sites for the U.K.’s Nuclear Decommissioning Author-ity, in partnership with the U.K.’s Cavendish Nuclear. Fluor’s backlog now exceeds $40 billion.
“We have had some setbacks in the mining sector, but our diversity of markets support us when a par-ticular sector declines,” says David Seaton, Fluor’s CEO. He also points out that Fluor has a series of front-end engineering and design (FEED) contracts that puts it in line to win the construction contract
once the decision to move forward is made. For example, Fluor has the FEED contract on an ethylene-cracker and chemical complex in Lake Charles, La., for South Africa’s Sasol Ltd.
Lessons LearnedThe recession forced contractors to become more efficient or get left behind. Now that the market has begun to bounce back, many contractors are carrying over the lessons learned and the determination to work smarter. “This retooling process is still ongoing, and, if the economy stays healthy, the industry will come out stronger than ever,” says Kirk Warden, executive vice president of Clayco.
For many contractors, staying lean and mean is a matter of necessity. “Owners still view the market as soft and are pushing the envelope on fees and contract terms and conditions,” says Tim Steigerwald, senior vice president, Messer Construction. But he concurs the market is rebounding. “As the opportunity pipeline increases, these pressures will subside,” he says.
“The recession was brutal, prolonged and like a two-sided coin for us,” says Mark Layman, CEO of Balfour Beatty US. “On one side, we weathered it well, and, on the other side, we had to make a lot of hard choices like everyone else.” He says the firm has cre-ated a process to capture innovation and systematically

Building OutFor many large contractors, the economic recovery has finally trickled down to the construction market. “The activity is back, and it is coming back with a vengeance,” says Michael Kuntz, senior vice president, at Turner Construction. “The good news is that margins are up. It is more of a value market than a commodity market. That change plays to our strength in providing value-added services.”
“We do expect to see an upward trend in traditional core commercial markets such as office, retail and industrial markets,” says Jeff Hansen, senior VP and CFO of Adolfson & Peterson Construction. He notes that new developer-driven projects have shrunk to very low levels since 2008. “Now, the appetite for lenders to lend again has helped bring these sectors back.”
The U.S. shale-oil boom has boosted the industrial markets. “The Utica and Marcellus shale plays in our region have begun to boom with production, which has brought us projects that include the construction of cryogenic natural-gas plants,” says Brian Burgett, CEO of Kokosing Construction Co. “We are seeing a continuing flow of industrial project opportunities, allowing our industrial division to experience sustained growth,” says Steigerwald.
The low energy prices have spurred activity in many markets. Dudley says new LNG export terminals and pipeline work are the direct result of the boom. But he says the lower feedstock prices are generating PH

When Irish immigrant Timothy McCarthy started building farmhouses and barns in Ann Arbor, Mich., in 1864, he had no idea that, 150 years later, his firm, McCarthy Holdings Inc (No. 18), would be a multibillion-dollar national enterprise.
There have been numerous milestones in the company’s history. For example, McCarthy self- performed the complex concrete work on the parabolic arches of the Priory Chapel in St. Louis in 1961 (above), establishing its reputation for working on tough projects. By 1985, the firm had topped $1 billion in revenue.
McCarthy remained a family-owned business for 138 years. But in
1996, it started an employee stock ownership plan. In 2000, Mike Bolen became the first CEO who wasn’t a McCarthy. Then, in 2002, former CEO Mike McCarthy sold his stock to McCarthy employees, making the firm 100% employee-owned.
A lot has changed over the years for the firm. “The work is still the same, to make sure we work safely and efficiently,” says Bolen. However, he notes one thing that has changed. “It is not enough to just be a great builder. You also have to be a smart business,” he says.
McCarthy has a long history, but it continues to have its eye on the future. “We are 150 years old and just getting started,” Bolen says.

The Top 400 DialogueDo you see any trends facing contractors that are affecting the industry?
How are relations with subcontractors and suppliers?
STEPHEN D’ANGELO, CEODCK WORLDWIDE LLCPittsburgh
The biggest trend that contractors face today is that we are constantly being commoditized. The challenge that we face is, how do you differentiate yourself to be a preferred provider?
GARY JOERIS, PRESIDENTJOERIS GENERAL CONTRACTORSSan Antonio
One of the greatest challenges is the search for good, qualified employees. The “We’re Hiring” sign has a permanent home right next to the “Joeris” sign at each of our offices. Now, social media has become a viable recruiting tool.
STEPHEN M. MUCK, CEOBRAYMAN CONSTRUCTION CORP.Saxonburg, Pa.
Relationships with subcontractors and suppliers remain strong, although we do [increasingly] see all parties being more diligent in pursuing change orders more aggressively.
TRACY HART, CEOTARLTON CORP.St. Louis
As contractors and subcontractors come out of the recession, it will be more important than ever to ascertain their financial stability to take on additional work.
MARK LAYMAN, CEOBALFOUR BEATTY USDallas
A challenging trend is to get away from the hungry-contractor mind-set. For years, the industry faced upside-down risk-reward equations, but, as opportunities return, we shouldn’t be so quick to want to fill the bucket.
MIKE MCMAHON, PRESIDENTDAY & ZIMMERMANNPhiladelphia
Recruiting craft labor and project management has challenged the industry for some time. [Our response has been to] work with trade schools and community colleges, secure government grants and develop worker-training programs.
ROBERT E. ALGER, CEOLANE INDUSTRIES INC.Cheshire, Conn.
I think we need to do a better job framing the image of the industry for kids coming out of high school and college and convincing them this is a good career for them [and that] they can make a very good living.
With the recovering economy, tension between subs, suppliers and GCs is dissipating. Rather than focusing on day-to-day survival, firms are looking forward, rebuilding businesses and [fostering] strong relationships.
GORDON LANSFORD, CEOJE DUNN CONSTRUCTION CO.Kansas City
Cash flow, contract risks, pricing pressure, aggressive schedules and available, trained tradespeople are just a few of the issues that keep [subs and suppliers] up at night. Our ability to mitigate those issues has helped us.
WAYNE EINBINDER, VICE PRESIDENTSUNDT CONSTRUCTION INC.Tempe, Ariz.
Compressed margins continue to put a strain on projects [and] can create friction between contractor and subcontractor. Collaboration, which flies in the face of [this] dynamic tension, has never been more important.

to invest $20 billion to fix their coal capacity, but they would need certainty of regulation before they would commit to the program,” says Seaton.
However, Seaton says the recent Supreme Court decision in April upholding the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s rules on interstate air quality (ENR 5/12 p. 9) was a big step in providing some certainty on Clean Air Act regulations.
Dudley says Bechtel now is actively pursuing gas-fired, combined-cycle powerplants in the U.S., particularly in the South. He says the market is not ready to take off. “There is not a lot of increase in capacity demand.” But Dudley says the growing indus-trial base spurred by cheap energy prices may increase power demand in the near future.
The low price of natural gas has dampened the nuclear sector. But Fluor is pressing ahead with its NuScale program to design small, modular nuclear reactors. At the end of 2013, the U.S. Dept. of Energy announced it would help fund the reactors’ develop-ment, Seaton notes. “We’re hoping for regulatory approval by 2017 and production by 2020,” he says.

opportunities in petrochemical and fertilizer plants.Seaton of Fluor agrees with Dudley, saying, “About
five years ago, [Dow Chemical CEO] Andrew Liveris complained that industrial companies could not afford to build in the U.S. Now, Dow is investing billions on the Gulf Coast because of the low energy costs.”
Low energy prices also are luring both U.S. and international manufacturers to site their plants in the U.S., rather than abroad. “Our customers tell us they look to the U.S. for multiple reasons,” says Stephen Gray, CEO of Gray Construction. He cites low energy prices, the proximity to American consumers, lean supply chains, low transportation costs and the fewer risks associated with capital investments in the U.S.
The oil-and-gas boom and new federal regulations have created a major shift in the power market. Low gas prices and the federal regulatory pressure on coal has pushed the market toward gas-fired plants.
Regulatory uncertainty has caused many utilities to take a wait-and-see attitude on new capital invest-ments. New environmental regulations have virtually halted activity on coal-fired plants. Seaton says utilities are willing to spend to comply with regulations, provided they know their investment won’t be under-cut by further changes. “[Duke Energy Chairman] Jim Rogers said a couple of years ago that Duke was ready

lic agencies struggle to find funding. “Unfortunately, the outlook for public-sector construction is cloudy at best, with no clear financing solution to address our infrastructure rehabilitation requirements,” says Jud Riggs, CEO, Teichert Construction.
For big contractors in the infrastructure markets, there are opportunities. “There are a lot of big jobs with long schedules on the boards,” says Jeffrey Levy, CEO of Railworks.
He cites Los Angeles’ huge Crenshaw-LAX light-rail program, which is slated to be a 100-month project, and the Maryland Purple-line rail project, whose requests for proposals are being finalized. Rail-works is positioning itself for these and other major, rail-related projects. “We are pretty active because we are a big-project firm,” Levy says.
But Levy says big projects alone will not help most industry firms: “What about the everyday road projects that are the bread-and-butter of smaller transportation contractors?” He says many of these contractors are struggling because state and local agencies do not have a reliable, predictable source of funding for jobs. “It’s not about financing of individual projects but funding of programs that is needed,” he observes.
Nearly everyone in the industry says a federal high-way funding bill is a key. “The existing bill expires on

Sept. 30, at the end of the government’s fiscal year, and the highway trust fund ... is about to be out of money in August. We need to have the bill completed,” says Mike Hoover, COO of Sundt Construction. Lack of a bill “would affect every state and makes it very hard for the entire construction industry. When you build freeways and highways, you build buildings next to them, so this issue will affect vertical building, as well.”
Some contractors are benefiting from the growing acceptance of public-private partnerships to fund transportation projects. Most contractors believe that P3s will help the industry but are not a panacea. How-ever, P3s may help smaller contractors down the line. “P3s generally have a maintenance component,” re-
quiring the P3 consortium to do the maintenance, says Levy. That means state and local transportation agen-cies will not be faced with hard choices over whether to maintain roads or build new ones, he says.
Many transportation contractors are optimistic that some states are finding new means of financing infra-structure projects. For example, Pennsylvania has new infrastructure funding programs, and these initiatives are beginning to pay off for contractors. “We feel positive about Pennsylvania’s recent funding leader-ship, and we are cautiously optimistic that other states in which we work, along with the federal government, can solve their highway funding issues,” says Stephen M. Muck, CEO, Brayman Construction Corp.

The Top 50 Contractors Working Abroad
Master BuildersThe recession has made contractors more conscious of costs and schedules, leading them to implement more controls in the process. For a growing number of GCs, that means taking more of the work in-house. “We believe the contracting industry is fundamentally broken. There are fees on top of fees as materials pass through many hands before they get to the end user,” says Rob Burton, CEO of Hoar Construction. GCs need to go back to taking more labor risk on their own, he notes, adding, “Old contracting methods may be in trouble as owners figure out how to truly use their contractors to drive down their cost and improve the process.”
This means many contractors are becoming “builders” again, rather than just managers. “We have noticed that many of our competitors are re-learning what we never forgot. Self-performing segments of work, such as concrete, site execution ... is an impor-tant aspect of this industry,” says John Cowles, vice president of Hathaway Dinwiddie. By self-performing trades, GCs can set the pace of the project and drive the schedule, he says. “This helps develop field super-visory talent, such as superintendents, and provides keen insight into the construction process.”
But self-performing GCs must be careful to main-tain their relationships with subs. “I see a bit of a reemergence of the master-builder concept, self- performing more trades at the GC level. Our clients expect more expertise than an arm’s-length subcontract affords us,” says Michael Hass, director for Weitz

In February, Riley Bechtel stepped down as CEO of Bechtel (No. 1) after being diagnosed with early- stage Parkinson’s disease. Bill Dudley, Bechtel’s president, stepped in as the first non-family member to be CEO of Bechtel in the company’s 116-year history.ENR: Tell us about your background.I have been with Bechtel for 33 years, living and working in Asia, Europe, Africa and the U.S. I was appointed head of Bechtel’s oil-and-gas group in 2001, and that went pretty well, so I was named president in 2008.Do you plan any changes at the firm?Not at all. This transition didn’t happen for market or strategic reasons but for health reasons. We had a detailed succession plan in place. We like to grow our own, rather than look outside the company for new leadership. So, when Riley fell ill, he thought it best to step back and allow others to run the day-to-day operations of the company.
How is Riley doing?He is doing really well. He continues to be our chairman and is actively engaged in the company.What are your immediate plans?We plan to continue to grow organically and move into markets
where we have expertise and can add value. The key is to target markets with long-term growth potential, not just whatever is available now.What markets are you looking at?We are already moving into offshore oil work. But
now we are also looking at the water market, mostly large-scale programs such as dams and hydroelectric [but] not down to the municipal level. Water is going to be critical to the developing world for the foreseeable future.Where do you see Bechtel heading in the future?I see us continuing as a family-owned, family-run company. Riley’s son Brendan is now in charge of our oil-and-gas business, and I would be happy to see him take over in a few years.

Group. He says Weitz is not poaching field manage-ment from the subs’ ranks. Management by subs “helps the relationship and keeps productivity up,” he says.
7D BIM?Building information modeling is one of the process improvements that was embraced in the recession that is now flourishing. “BIM was an industry buzzword that has now turned into table stakes on every job,” says Hansen of Adolfson & Peterson. He says contrac-tors now are leveraging BIM beyond basic 3D models to animate designs and add other databases to the model. “The best companies have taken BIM to the fifth and sixth dimensions,” he says.
Lend Lease is pushing the envelope on BIM. The firm also is applying to the model logistics staging for cranes, caisson augers, protection systems and the like for risk analysis and to verify safe picking points, says Jeff Arfsten, managing director of project management and construction.
Lend Lease also is integrating safety elements such as perimeter protection, netting solutions and shaft enclosures, says Arfsten. “We regularly extract struc-tural quantities and take off architectural elements ... from models, importing the data into our estimating software.” He says Lend Lease also uses BIM to opti-mize sustainability strategies and complete energy modeling analysis, along with clients’ facilities manage-ment requirements, as a routine component of its BIM offerings.
Enhanced communications tools also are beginning to be employed in other areas on projects. For example, Day & Zimmermann has launched its “Behavior Observation Learning Tool” (BOLT), a web-based worker observation process designed to identify at-risk work behaviors. “Using web-based mobile technology, supervisors and craft workers record real-time behavior observations to correct at-risk conduct and reinforce safe work practices,” says Mike McMahon, president.
Luring PeopleOne of the greatest challenges of the market is labor shortages cropping up because of the amount of work going on. “Our subcontractors are often uncertain that they have the capacity to handle certain jobs because they simply can’t staff them,” says Paul Driscoll, CEO, Hill & Wilkinson. “We deal more with the question of just how much work we can accept with the amount of manpower we have right now.”
One of the problems of attracting young people to the industry is the failure to communicate the industry’s opportunities. Seaton points out that a

young hires without assigning them to a project; this strategy makes sure the new generation is ready to manage right out of the blocks. “If we back off that now, we will end up paying for it five to 10 years down the road,” he says.
Bechtel also is hiring. “The Gulf Coast already is in need of people in the skilled trades,” says Dudley. “We are hiring military veterans to train in the trades.” Dudley says Bechtel has hired over 500 veterans in the past few months alone.
The need for people is critical. “In the past 50 years, technologies and materials in the construction indus-try have advanced and changed. However, it’s the people that remain constant in doing their work with innovation, attention to detail and quality,” says Stephen D’Angelo, CEO of dck Worldwide.
career in construction can be financially rewarding. “A journeyman welder on the Gulf Coast can make $80,000 to $90,000 a year. That is a good living any-where in the U.S. Young people need to know they can make a good living in this industry,” he says.
Many contractors already have taken steps to address workforce shortages. “We saw this increase coming a couple of years ago and initiated our work-force development team to respond to the need,” says Burgett of Kokosing. To help stay ahead of this short-age, it hired two workforce coordinators to work with local unions to secure skilled workers.
Turner Construction has been hiring young people throughout the downturn. “We have been ‘hiring to spec’ 250 to 300 new people a year,” says Kuntz. He says Turner spends as much as six months training
