The Top International Contractors and Design Firms: Going From Feast to Famine Publication Date: 10-DEC-08 Author: Peter Reina and Gary J. Tulacz Format: HTML

Description:
The global construction market had been booming in 2007 and through midyear 2008, and large international contractors and design firms reaped the benefits. The demand for big-ticket projects, from petroleum production facilities and powerplants to major infrastructure upgrades and signature buildings, made the demand intense for world-class contractors with the size and expertise to deliver these projects. As a result, big firms around the world were scrambling to grow, either organically or through acquisition, to meet this demand.
