Based on the response to Southeast Construction's most recent Top Specialty Contractors ranking, maybe 2008 wasn’t so bad after all. After all, the annual ranking--which hits the streets August 1--again registered 200 specialty firms from throughout the four-state region of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. Also, the collective amount of revenue contained within the list--which is based upon 2008 revenue--went up considerably from the preceding year's ranking, to a record total of roughly $8.5 billion. As that math indicates, many firms reported similar, or better, revenue figures compared to the previous year.
Then again, maybe 2009 is the year when the region’s ongoing downturn really starts to show up on companies’ bottom lines. Time will tell on that score.
As with other contractor lists that Southeast Construction publishes, this one is based on revenue generated during the preceding calendar year. The format of our ranking is again based on regional revenue totals, meaning the volume of work collected in 2008 from projects located within the magazine’s four-state territory.
