The construction industry in the United States is one of the largest and most economically critical sectors, generating over $2.2 trilion in annual project activity and supporting more than 8.2 million direct jobs across residential, commercial, industrial, and infrastructure markets. [1]
From highways, airports, and power plants to hospitals, data centers, and mega-manufacturing facilities, construction touches almost all segments of the US economy. At the top of this vast ecosystem sit a relatively small group of very large construction companies that execute the nation’s most complex, capital-intensive, and high-risk projects.
Below, I’ve featured the largest construction companies in the US, analyzing their scale, revenues, workforce size, and competitive advantages.
These firms are not just builders: they are industrial operators, risk managers, and infrastructure enablers whose performance directly influences national productivity, economic growth, and long-term resilience.
Did you know?The U.S. construction market is set to grow strongly, with its total value expected to cross $3.27 trillion by 2033, expanding at an annual growth rate of 4.9%. Infrastructure is the fastest-growing area within the market, projected to grow at an impressive 14.7% CAGR through 2033. [2]

16. KB Home
Founded: 1957Headquarters: Los Angeles, California
Revenue: $6.5 billion+
Number of Employees: 2,300+
Competitive Edge: Built-to-order personalization, Sustainability leadership
Established in 1957 as Kaufman & Broad Building Company, the firm pioneered affordable suburban homebuilding and was the first homebuilder listed on the NYSE.
As of today, KB Home has built nearly 700,000 homes since its inception and operates in over 45markets across 20+ US states. It primarily targets first-time buyers and those moving up to their next home.
Over the past few years, the company has built a strong reputation for sustainability. It has delivered more Energy Star-certified homes than any other major US builder and consistently uses energy-efficient construction methods, helping buyers reduce long-term ownership costs.
KB Home has also been actively investing in land acquisition and development, committing over $2.8 billion in 2024 to expand future community offerings and support growth. In FY 2025, it delivered 12,902 homes, generating a net income of over $428.8 million. [3]
15. Primoris Services Corporation
Founded: 1960Headquarters: Dallas, Texas
Revenue: $7.4 billion+
Number of Employees: 15,000+
Competitive Edge: Long-term contract relationships
Primoris Services Corporation focuses on essential, long-life infrastructure assets, such as pipelines, power systems, utility networks, rail, and heavy civil projects that form the backbone of modern economies.
These assets are capital-intensive, highly regulated, and designed to operate for 30-50+ years, creating durable demand for Primoris’ services.
Plus, aging US infrastructure, increased electrification, renewable energy integration, and pipeline safety regulations have driven sustained capital spending — tailwinds that align directly with Primoris’ core competencies.
Strategically, Primoris occupies a middle ground between mega-EPC (Engineering, Procurement, and Construction) firms and smaller regional contractors. It is large enough to handle complex, multi-state programs, yet focused enough to avoid the extreme risk exposure associated with ultra-megaprojects.
In 2024, the company reported $6.36 billion in revenue, up about 11.4% from 2023, mainly driven by growth in its Energy segment. For FY 2025, revenue is around $7.45 billion, showing continued momentum as major energy and utility projects move forward and existing orders are completed.
14. Taylor Morrison

Competitive Edge: Disciplined, asset-light business model
NVR is one of the most distinctive and consistently profitable residential construction companies, known for its asset-light, capital-efficient homebuilding model.
Unlike most builders that own vast land banks, NVR deliberately avoids heavy land ownership. It constructs homes primarily on optioned lots owned by third-party land developers. This approach has allowed NVR to grow into a top-tier US homebuilder while maintaining exceptionally high returns on capital across housing cycles.
The company historically demonstrated remarkable profitability and conservative financial management. In fact, it was one of the few major builders that remained profitable through the 2008 housing downturn and maintained strong returns on equity via its efficient land strategy.
Today, NVR generates over $10.4 billion in annual revenue and more than $2.37 billion in gross profit. Its stock is among the highest-priced shares on the NYSE, reflecting investor confidence in its long-term fundamentals. [5]

Its work includes highways, bridges, rail systems, power plants, pipelines, mining facilities, and major industrial projects.
Unlike many contractors that subcontract most labor, Kiewit self-performs a large portion of work. This gives it tighter control over quality, safety, scheduling, and cost execution. The company logs over 70 million direct-hire craft hours annually across projects of all types.
Plus, Kiewit is one of the largest employee-owned companies in the United States, giving it a unique edge where long-term performance and operational excellence matter more than short-term quarterly results.
