The 2025 list of commercial constructions companies tracks commercial and multifamily projects handled during 2024. All billings and project values reflect work handled by the Austin operations, although work can be performed anywhere. Forty-six firms responded to requests for information and reported $9.2 billion in construction billings through the Austin office. These same firms provide over 6,000 jobs locally. The digital rankings include 60 firms. Information on The List was obtained through ABJ research or supplied by individual firms through questionnaires that ABJ could not independently verify. In case of ties, firms are ranked by total employment and then listed alphabetically if ties remain. Additionally, companies that did not respond to employment surveys but were still included on this year’s List are sorted by estimated total employment figures derived from ABJ archives; annual filings with the U.S. Department of Labor; and other firm-specific resources. This week’s List is part of a shift in our research methodology and philosophy in 2025, one that will emphasize more data and context for readers while better coordinating the resources available to us and our 46 sister publications under the American City Business Journals flag. We anticipate this effort will identify thousands of new local records — and cumulatively, tens of thousands of new businesses across ACBJ’s footprint — this year alone.
