Chicago-based Clayco moved into the top spot after finishing second on last year’s list, reporting $3.25 billion in regional revenue for calendar year 2019. That’s a jump from the $2.68 billion the company reported in 2018, and it made Clayco the only company on the list to break the $3-billion mark. Nearly all respondents, including nine of the top 10, reported revenue based on the calendar year.
Clayco CEO Bob Clark attributes the firm’s success to a number of large-scale local projects such as the 460,000-sq-ft reconstruction of the Willis Tower that Clayco is working on in a joint venture with the No. 2 ranked firm on this year’s list, Turner Construction, which reported $2.99 billion in 2019 revenue. Clayco’s other clients include Amazon, Pfizer and the University of Illinois.

克莱科（Clayco）专注于设计建造，但排名第78名。来自芝加哥的麦根（Magen）几乎全力以赴电信，从该领域获得了2019年收入的93％。该公司全年最大的项目最大的项目是芝加哥大学的研究4500万美元。新利luck但这是另一个地方项目，证明更令人生畏。
2020年6月初,th Magen完成其工作e 196,000-sq-ft data center for CoreSite Realty. The building was designed to hold the massive weight-bearing needs of large data center equipment, with a design load of 24 mw with redundant utility and cooling systems. But what sets it apart is the location—1432 South Clinton St. in Chicago’s South Loop business district. Traditionally, data centers are built in the suburbs or even in rural areas due to site logistics and power needs, not in a crowded downtown area.
“Data centers are in the background, until they aren’t,” says Geoff Arend, executive vice president of J.T. Magen. “You look at where we are now (in mid-2020) and everyone is suddenly reliant on Zoom meetings and Netflix.”
马格森不得不解决众多的问题，即众议院建筑问题。该公司必须协调设备的安排交付，以最大程度地减少交通中断，协调搬迁开销工具线，并在马路对面的24小时United包裹服务分配设施中围绕交货而跳舞。此外，由于土壤柔软，芝加哥市中心的建筑需要广泛的基础。J.T.Magen的解决方案是钻219个笼子，每个缝隙平均深55英尺。仅钻探就花了两个月。
Arend说：“每个数据中心都不同，因此您可以即时导航。”“有很多'假设'对话。许多“为什么要做？”，其中一些真是太疯狂了。就像，我们最终仅由于涉及的时间而花费了100,000美元在这里的运输设备上。”
当然，在2020年中期，世界与清单上的许多公司关闭其日历年账簿时的世界有很大不同。COVID-19的大流行已经触及了全世界的几乎所有行业，建筑没有什么不同。问题仍然是该行业如何发展。
“Are there challenges? Yes,” says Justin Brown, CEO of 28th-ranked Skender with $420.5 million in regional revenue. “But there are silver linings as well. It’s still a banner year for revenue, and it’s a great time to strengthen relationships with customers. The key thing is to not necessarily react to the chatter of the last couple months, but to ask, ‘How can we be better partners?’”
Brown acknowledges that the challenges brought forth by the pandemic are something no one’s ever seen. But he and others within the industry say it is built to face such challenges.
“It really led to an understanding of how connected the world is on supply chain,” Arend says. He pointed to a specific example in which Magen worked with a steel manufacturer in Idaho for a project in Silicon Valley, but was delayed due to the detailer in India being shut down over coronavirus precautions. “You see how small the construction world is and our world in general. It’s sort of empowering to fight through that.”
