How ENR ranks data center contractors

How the data is sourced

ENR’s Top 400 Contractors list (May 25, 2026 issue) ranks US contractors by 2025 construction revenue and breaks each firm’s revenue into market sectors. Data centers sit in the telecommunications sector, alongside cabling and towers, and ENR prints a Top 20 for each sector. That sector grew 86.4% from 2024 to 2025 and passed $100 billion, 15.1% of all Top 400 revenue.

Read rank, revenue and share together

Rank is sector revenue in dollars. Share is how much of the firm the sector makes up: Fortis earned 92% of its 2025 revenue in the sector↗, Holder 83%↗ and Turner 33%↗. A high share buys you a team that does nothing else; a big absolute number buys you buying power and bench depth.

Who climbed

Mortenson moved from No. 22 to No. 10 on the overall Top 400↗, Clune from No. 58 to No. 45↗ and Gray from No. 36 to No. 30↗. MasTec, No. 8 on ENR’s sector list, is left out here: its telecom revenue is mainly fiber and wireless networks rather than data center general contracting.
