在今年的东南部高级承包商调查中，这反映了2014年佛罗里达州，佐治亚州，北卡罗来纳州和南卡罗来纳州的收入 - 据报道，总共报告了约27亿美元的住宅项目收入，比去年同期多10亿美元。新利18备用网址同时，诸如医疗保健，教育，政府和制造业等领域的收入都显示出下降。

Florida was a particularly active market, with survey respondents reporting $9.3 billion in Sunshine State revenue last year, an increase of nearly $1 billion over 2013.

As a result, some firms indicated significant—and for a few, staggering—year-over-year increases. Miami-based Plaza Construction, for instance, saw its 2014 revenue jump by 135.8% over 2013, resulting in a 16th overall ranking. Meanwhile, another South Florida firm, Coastal Construction Group, experienced an 87.4% increase, placing it fifth overall.

But evidently it's not just South Florida that's getting busier. Health care builder Robins & Morton saw revenue jump by 41.7%. JE Dunn Construction Group reported a 37.9% gain, while DPR Construction's income grew 35% and Whiting-Turner Contracting Co. experienced a 33.4% improvement. Other firms trending up significantly included Holder Construction Co., Turner Construction Co. and Choate Construction Co., all of which reported gains of more than 25%.

不过，总的来说，今年的最高承包商排名显示，东南部的整体增长幅度更高。参与调查的公司数量（从历史上讲，其本身的市场领先地位）实际上有所下降，尽管略有下降。

Collectively, contractors reported just over $21.1 billion in 2014 revenue from the states of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, a roughly 5.9% increase over last year's $19.9 billion.

Also, as ENR Southeast noted in an April blog post previewing this year's ranking, the biggest firms appear to be growing at a faster clip than other regional contractors.

例如，今年的十大公司统称的东南收入略高于79亿美元，比去年的前10名增长了约11.2％。相比之下，承包商未在前10名中排名第10亿美元。比一年前获得2.4％的收益。

东南：“显然更强大”

ENR东南采访的承包商同意，该地区的建设活动正在增加，新利18备用并在不久的将来取得进一步的收益。

"Business activity is showing signs of steady improvement throughout the Southeast United States and is clearly stronger than it was this time one year ago," says Jeff Stone, COO with Brasfield & Gorrie, this year's No. 1-ranked contractor.
