Results from this year's ENR Top 100 Revenues are in!
More than ever, the answer depends on whether you are in the United States (domestic) or outside the U.S.
Inside the US, CM at-Risk continues to dominate despite the continued depression of private work where CM at-Risk is more popular (Domestic: CMR-$64.2B vs. DB-$54.7B).

The answer: It depends on where you are!For those interested in keeping up with the project delivery trends… As many of you know, I have been tracking every year, the updated project delivery figures put out by ENR based on their Top 100 firms.

AND new this year, I have graphed the domestic number comparison for the last three years (check out t ...

Chart 2 ...

I have updated a chart each year showing how the total of CM at-Risk Revenue compared to the Design-Build Revenue.
I started this to show that though ENR's story headlines kept promoting Design-Build as taking over the world, their own reported numbers disput ...
