ENR Southwest's Sept. 6 print edition will feature the region's Top Specialty Contractors ranked by regional revenue and market sectors.

ENR Southwest has named Rosendin Electric its 2021 Specialty Contractor of the Year for its strong performance in the region during a challenging year, its dedication to fostering growth among its employees and its commitment to pushing technological innovation forward.

Firms nominated for Contractor of the Year honors are voted on by ENR regional editors based on information provided in the year's Top Contractors ranking survey.

Early results show that revenues last year for the region’s infrastructure contractors were up in most areas, especially for firms located in Salt Lake City, Boise and Denver.

For its commitment to employees and culture, in addition to a strong portfolio of projects and record-breaking backlog, Haydon Building Corp. has been named ENR Southwest’s 2021 Contractor of the Year.

The annual list is compiled on the basis of contracting work done last year within the Southwest region, by firms with permanent offices in Arizona, Nevada or New Mexico.
