Maintaining its hold on the second spot was Turner Industries Group, despite a 5.5% decline in revenues to $2.5 billion. Rounding out the top 5: Performance Contractors ($1.1 billion, down 26.6%), Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers ($975 million, up 31%) and Brown & Root ($820 million, down 1.2%).

Overall, the collective revenue of this year’s Top 100 class, which includes six newcomers, was $24.1 billion, a slight 1% increase from 2016’s $24 billion.
