Among the region's top 50 contractors is Mark Williams Construction of Sarasota, which is working on this 11-story condo, the Rosewood Residences Lido Key, overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.

Florida

The Business Observer’s 2025 Top 50 Contractors list, an annual ranking of the largest contractors in the region, is a showcase of growth in the building and construction sectors.

And despite the economic upheaval and political uncertainty of 2024, on a cumulative basis the 50 companies on the list surpassed $9 billion in revenue in 2024 — the first time passing that threshold. In total, the 50 companies combined for $9.15 billion in revenue in 2024, up 9.1% from $8.38 billion in cumulative revenue in 2023.

As in past years, the Top 50 — companies self-submit information — is open to contractors in the Business Observer’s coverage area, from Polk County south through Collier County, from Lakeland to Tampa to Naples. Companies must be in some type of contracting field: electrical, general construction, roofing, HVAC, landscaping, plumbing and more.

Highlights of the 2025 Top 50 Contractors list include:

Just like the 2024 issue, two companies — Manhattan Construction, with a dual headquarters in Naples and Tulsa, Oklahoma, and St. Petersburg-based Power Design — surpassed $1 billion in revenue. Those companies are No. 1 and No 2, respectively, on the list.
Also like in the 2024 Top 50 Contractors issue, 20 companies posted more than $100 million in annual revenue. That’s up from 17 and 13 in the previous two years. In addition, Power Design grew by $100 million, or 8.33%, going from $1.2 billion to $1.3 billion.
More than 65% of the companies, 34, posted revenue gains from 2023 to 2024. A dozen companies posted revenue decreases of at least $1 million year over year, while four firms were relatively flat.
