最后poi MidAtlantic建筑市场sed to put the recession in its rearview mirror. ENR MidAtlantic’s annual Top Contractor ranking shows that the survey’s top 10 firms approached pre-recession levels for the first time last year by posting $10.33 billion in revenue in 2015. That’s up from $9.9 billion in 2014 and $9 billion in 2013. The 2008 survey results—which reflect data from 2007, the year the recession officially began—found that the top 10 contractors collected $10.7 billion in revenue.
在新列表中，排名前10的公司中有八家报告称，包括Kiewit Corp.在内的收入增加，该公司在报告了10亿美元的收入后，将三个位置跃升为第三名。来自特拉华州，马里兰州，宾夕法尼亚州，弗吉尼亚州，西弗吉尼亚州和哥伦比亚特区的55家参与公司的总收入为190.5亿美元。

“One thing I like about construction is that it is one of the last industries to get hurt in a downturn, but on the other side you are one of the last to get well,” says John R. Lawson II, W.M. Jordan Co. president and CEO.
弗吉尼亚州纽波特新闻（Newport News）在今年的调查中排名第15位，高于去年的第18名，这要归功于收入增长42.7％，达到4.4703亿美元。W.M.乔丹将收益归因于灵活和多样化其市场部门和项目交付方法。
Although revenue has been on the rise for MidAtlantic contractors across almost all sectors in the last several years, federal government contracts still lagged. A key reason was the aftereffects of 2013’s approximately $85.4 billion in mandatory budget cuts, known as sequestration. Lawson said sequestration reduced W.M. Jordan’s federal portfolio by about half. But the firm recently started doing federal work again, including a project at the Little Creek Joint Expeditionary base in Virginia Beach, Va. The firm renovated an 183,000-sq-ft building previously used as a Navy Gateway Inn and Suites and converted it to housing for enlisted personnel. The $32.9-million project achieved LEED Silver certification and met the military’s sustainability goals.
Lawson predicts that military infrastructure and construction work will keep growing because of “all the unrest in the world and the aging weapon systems.”
现代化时代
弗吉尼亚海滩项目是强大的中大西洋翻新市场的一个例子。许多开发人员没有拆除旧建筑物并从头开始，而是选择现代化现有结构。这种趋势证明是有利可图的：承包商在今年的调查中报告了58.6亿美元的翻新收入，比去年增长了34.4％。
Drew Mucci, Gilbane Building Co. vice president, says renovations are particularly strong in Washington, D.C., where a 130-ft height limit prevents developers from replacing a 10-story building with one that rises 40 stories. “Instead of knocking something down when you have good floor area,” he says, “you can change a lot of components and stretch your dollar a little better.”
吉尔巴恩（Gilbane）在该地区排名第13位，收入增长17.1％，至4.832亿美元，目前正在华盛顿的西北第19街900号楼高的办公大楼。吉尔班（Gilbane）用25,000平方英尺的玻璃窗帘墙代替了1980年代的预制混凝土外墙。它还正在现代化电梯，建造大厅并在113,577平方英尺的建筑物中添加结构组件。
Hitt Contracting在中大西洋翻新中排名第一，收入为6.55亿美元。该调查的总排名最高的公司Whiting-Turner Contracting Co.在6.171亿美元的翻新工程中排名第二。新利luckEnr Midatlantic的年度最佳承包商James G. Davis Construction Corp.（请参阅第15页），在翻新工程中排名第三，为5.503亿美元。该公司目前正在华盛顿，Uline Arena和Alexander Court进行两项值得注意的现代化。Uline项目呼吁翻新245,000平方英尺的竞技场，甲壳虫乐队于1964年在美国进行了第一场演出。13500万美元的亚历山大法院项目涉及在一座被占领的八层楼办公楼中增加四层。
Subcontractors in demand
所有中大西洋部门的业务增加都加剧了对高质量分包商的需求。MUCCI估计，根据交易，签署一些顶级潜艇可能需要5％至10％的溢价。他说，竞争特别热衷于砌体或玻璃和玻璃公司等专业行业。
One factor spurring contractors’ hot pursuit of subcontractors is the robust multi-unit residential market, which jumped 35% in 2015, to $2.15 billion. “Every year I think the bubble is going to pop,” Mucci says. “And it just doesn’t seem to.”
