Top 10: Biggest Construction Companies in the US

Labour shortages, escalating material costs and sustainability imperatives are changing the construction industry across the world. 

Construction is adapting to these challenges by leveraging cutting-edge technologies – everything from AI and 3D printing to modular construction – to boost efficiency and minimise environmental impact. 

The push for net-zero emissions is also driving a revolution in practices, complemented by sweeping digital transformations in project management. And despite these hurdles, the sector exhibits remarkable resilience, with forecasts pointing to robust growth. 

And innovations in green building and the widespread adoption of prefabrication techniques are setting new benchmarks.
