The last few years have been busy ones for Southwest contractors of all types, and Phoenix-based Suntec Concrete is certainly a prime example of a firm that's experienced considerable business growth in that time. 

For instance, for last year's Top Specialty Contractors ranking, Suntec reported $556 million in 2022 Southwest revenue, easily enough to land in the #1 spot. That impressive figure marked a more than 40% increase over its 2021 Southwest revenue figure of $394.2 million. While we can't yet divulge the figures reported for this year's upcoming Southwest Top Specialty Contractors ranking, we can report that Suntec experienced further significant growth in 2023.

Also notable is Suntec Concrete's announcement earlier this year—its 40th in business—of its Employee Stock Ownership Plan. According to the company, "the move makes Suntec one of the Top 10 largest employee-owned construction companies in the nation and the 2nd-largest Arizona-based employee-owned company."

The contractor also took steps to expand its offerings, launching earlier this year its Engineering and Design division as a standalone entity providing "full-service structural engineering." 

For these reasons, ENR editors have named Suntec Concrete as the 2024 Southwest Specialty Contractor of the Year. The company will be profiled in the Sept. 2, 2024, print edition of ENR Southwest print edition, which will also include the annual Southwest Top Specialty Contractors ranking.
