The Semiconductor Construction Leaderboard

The Daily Dig:

ENR’s 2025 semiconductor rankings confirm what the field has felt for the past three years: chip work has consolidated around a small group of repeat performers. While dozens of contractors have touched semiconductor projects, only a handful have proven they can consistently deliver fabs, expansions, and advanced manufacturing support work at scale.

Cleanroom intensity, tool install coordination, utility redundancy, and brutal schedule pressure have narrowed the field fast. The result is a leaderboard dominated by firms that understand mission critical manufacturing, not just big concrete pours. Below are the Top 10 ENR Semiconductor Contractors of 2025, ranked by reported semiconductor-related revenue.

Top 10 Semiconductor Contractors by Revenue (2025):

• 1) Hoffman Construction - $4,667.0M

• 2) Austin Industries - $2,503.6M

• 3) Exyte Americas Holding Inc. - $2,323.1M

• 4) Bechtel - $1,654.3M

• 5) Turner Construction Company - $468.4M

• 6) Fluor - $465.1M

• 7) Gray - $451.1M

• 8) Skanska USA - $443.3M

• 9) Sundt Construction Inc. - $429.4M

• 10) The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company - $377.0M

TheJobWalk Thoughts:

This list tells a bigger story than ranking alone. Semiconductor owners are not shopping price first, they’re buying certainty. These contractors know how to manage cleanroom trades, long lead tool installs, ultra-pure water, specialty gas, and commissioning without blowing schedules. Once an owner trusts a GC on one fab, the follow on work usually sticks. That’s why the same names keep reappearing. The barrier to entry is now operational maturity, not bonding capacity. For firms trying to break in, the path isn’t “bigger jobs”, it’s flawless execution on smaller, specialized scopes until trust is earned. In this market, reputations compound faster than revenue.
