Top 10 Concrete Contractors In The World 2021

The last year was not easy for the biggest construction companies in the world. Even making necessary adjustments and reformulating the business, companies suffered lower sales, poor results and needed to reduce costs. The impact is visible in the Ranking of the World Engineering 500 Large Constructors , a survey carried out by the magazine The Constructor.

The economic crisis and the interruption of Petrobras works and projects caused the turnover of construction companies to drop 30% in 2015, compared to the total in 2014. According to the publication, responsible for the ranking, this decline is due to the absence of OAS, among other traditional companies, which are not listed for not having provided the data requested by the magazine. The ranking is based on an exclusive survey carried out by the magazine and takes into account the previous year’s gross revenue as a factor for placement.

In this article, you will get to know the ten largest construction companies in the country, according to the World Engineering Ranking.
