去年，随着大流行的建筑行业，承包商制定了一项计划。决心使工作人员开放并认为在美国各地必不可少，一群承包商在特钥匙冠状病毒预防方案中合作，供所有公司使用。
今年的前400名承包商收入结果并未立即显示预防病毒方法如何改变企业之间的生产率。数字确实表明，确保建筑的基本状况有助于承包商避免造成毁灭性的损失。
“遵循CDC指南对于去年的生存至关重要。它确实为我们节省了，因为没有它，我们将不会开展业务。”结果，他说：“在去年第二季度的湿滑坡度之后，我们能够继续通过Covid运行。”
尽管大流行，但前400名的2020年总收入达到4148.8亿美元，比去年榜单报道的是0.12％，这是另一个创纪录的年份，尽管略有保证金。
在该公司几乎所有市场领域的收入下降之后，贝希特尔在特纳的前400名榜单上失去了长期的头把交椅。
Moving forward after initial jobsite disruptions, the data shows that most Top 400 general contractors and construction management companies leaned on projects in their pipelines to keep 2020 revenue strong.
A majority of firms reported backlog abundance from a strong 2019. More than a few mid-size firms reported backlogs that can carry them as far as the second quarter of 2022. Larger firms report backlogs lasting well into 2023.
2019年报道的4.92亿美元，今年前400名承包商的中位数收入跃升至2020年的5.019亿美元。在前50家公司中，有近一半的收入增加了收入，而中上层公司保持强劲。去年，中级公司的收入通常超过同一公司。在排名第150至300名的150家公司中，有138家报告的收入比一年前所示的收入还多。
Many firms indicate that multitiered worker shortages will be the biggest 2021 challenge, compounded by low vaccination rates—which can increase risk of outbreaks, slow productivity, increase lead times and decrease project certainty.
Shortages of raw building materials such as copper, lumber, iron pipe and steel are also of immediate concern. Suffering under long lead times, some projects are shelved until further notice, putting firms back into a pandemic pause.
梅塞尔建筑公司高级副总裁兼首席运营官Mark Luegering说：“这些问题是由于繁忙的建筑市场需求而引起的，并且由于工厂的关闭关闭而减少了生产，这会造成积极影响的时间表和成本承诺。”
When asked about customers’ No. 1 request, Top 400 contractors overwhelmingly report that eliminating risks related to a project’s costs and schedule led the list. Amid labor and materials shortages, some firms are addressing this by stepping up their preconstruction planning efforts.
Hoar Construction总裁特纳·伯顿（Turner Burton）说：“这些前建设的努力不仅仅是估计，而且我们的建筑过程不仅仅是在质量保证的情况下安全地建立。”
“Owners are always looking for more certainty in a project, from schedule to quality to costs,” Burton adds. “That’s why we’re focused on improving the entire development process.”
