It’s been a solid year for general contractors and construction managers in New York and New Jersey, with the 50 firms in the Top Contractors ranking reporting revenue of $27.42 billion in 2018, a 6.5% increase from the $25.75 billion that the 50 highest-ranking companies reported for 2017.
在查看某些部门前10家公司的收入数据时，会有一些惊喜。从事宗教和文化项目的公司的收入飙升了42.34％，至3.67亿美元，而报告绿色项目工作的公司的收入增长了18luck官网24.4％至94.3亿美元，因为越来越多的所有者显然相信绿色的结构等于绿色的底线。
“One trend we’ve been seeing in the market is an uptick in high-performance buildings, including toward LEED Gold and Platinum certification, smart buildings and passive house construction,” says Charlie Avolio, Suffolk Construction president and general manager, whose firm is at No. 24 on the main ranking, up from No. 37 last year. “Clients are increasingly prioritizing projects that are less likely to be affected by any legislative changes with regard to energy efficiency.”
Retail construction revenue rose 11.7% to $1.05 billion for the top 10 firms in the sector, with that market niche a core strength for J.T. Magen, says its president, Maurice Regan. The firm is building the Nordstrom flagship store in Manhattan, slated to open in October.

Regan, whose firm was ENR New York Contractor of the Year last year, says another construction focus has been corporate interiors. Overall revenue for the interior/tenant improvement sector in the region moved up 5.9% to $5.76 billion in 2018.
“The corporate interiors market’s … shift from private offices to open floor plans that incorporate smaller individual work spaces, huddle rooms, large common areas with pantries results in a smaller overall corporate footprint,” Regan says, which has generated lots of interior fit-out work. “We’re seeing this across all corporate sectors other than law firms.”
J.T.马格恩（Magen）排名第七，正在布鲁克菲尔德房地产1号塔楼1曼哈顿西部的67层中的一半以上，为三个客户建造了一半以上：埃森哲，国家曲棍球联盟和律师事务所Skadden Arps Slate Slate Slate Meagher＆Flom。
Multi-unit residential sector work may be slowing—revenue fell about 1.5% to $4.71 billion for the top 10 firms in the sector—but there’s a caveat.
“We’ve started seeing [fewer] projects in the high-end, luxury condominium market. However, opportunities in that sector have been replaced with smaller, entry-level, boutique-size condominium projects,” Avolio says. “One trend with the smaller condo projects is that location is key for clients—a project can be scaled down to a more manageable size if it is in a solid location.”
纽约和新泽西地区的“稳定位置”通常位于交通附近。While that sector boosted results for this year’s Contractor of the Year, OHL Judlau, builder of numerous public projects including the L subway train’s Canarsie Tunnel overhaul, it fell for others, with overall regional revenue for the top 10 firms in the sector down 16.7% to $2.51 billion.
铁路建筑公司业务发展副总裁戴尔·埃里里科（Dale Errico）在第51号的主要排名上升至第39位，可能知道一个原因。
“The New Jersey public sector is continuing to cool down until the agencies receive federal money for shovel-ready projects,” he says. This could also explain New Jersey state revenue falling 34% to $2.99 billion for the top 10 firms working in the state.
纽约州工作的总体收入表现更好，前10家公司上涨了6.2％，至153.5亿美元。挑战并没有阻碍该地区的整体建筑业，这可以从各个部门的收入上升来看来，尤其是在准备公司的情况下。
Errico sees transportation still ripe with opportunity, particularly for design-build projects.
“As the contractor in the design-build partnership, we are pleased to see this trend take off,” he says. “It is to the benefit of the project owner when the designer and contractor collaborate from the start. What may seem achievable on paper isn’t always possible in the field. Having that knowledge in the beginning saves time and ultimately money.”
Railroad Construction’s current projects include the MTA Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) Mid-Suffolk Electric Yard design-build project in Ronkonkoma, N.Y. “This is one of many infrastructure improvement components supporting the full implementation of LIRR service to East Side Access,” Errico says, referring to projects that connect the railroad to Grand Central Station on Manhattan’s east side.
但阿沃利奥正引用新的挑战在纽约projects. “It’s become harder to actually get the shovel in the ground as the demands of the New York City area have become more complex,” he says. “Suffolk has seen a number of opportunities in the pipeline, but there are a significant number of outside pressures.” Avolio says these include cost of land, limited availability of accessible sites, more logistically complex projects with larger client demands and zoning application hurdles “that have made it difficult to get projects started.”
他将技术指出是萨福克郡的关键市场。Avolio说：“这是技术和团队的承诺，帮助我们在这个困难的环境中建立了令人难以置信的复杂项目。”18luck官网
