Global Construction Is Big Business
Engineering News-Record, 28.12.2009
Construction can be the most local of businesses, but the scale of major industrial and infrastructure projects, and many owners’ need for help in financing their projects, have spurred the growth of construction megafirms around the world. As a result, it is not surprising that there are 177 firms with more than $1 billion in revenue on this year’s ENR Top 225 Global Contractors list.
