Rapid revenue growth among large private construction businesses continues to reflect strong project activity and expansion across regional markets. Shawmut Design and Construction has secured a place on the 2026 Inc. 5000, ranking No. 3,357 among the fastest-growing private companies in the United States.
The 2026 appearance marks Shawmut's second consecutive year on the ranking and its 12th overall inclusion.
The Inc. 5000 ranking evaluates private companies based on revenue growth from 2022 through 2025. Shawmut's latest recognition follows a period in which its revenue grew from less than $1 billion to more than $2 billion in under three years.
The growth has expanded the scale of Shawmut's operations and workforce. The construction company now has more than 1,500 employee-owners across the country.
Inc. uses three-year revenue growth as the primary basis for determining placement on its annual list, which includes companies from a range of industries.
Shawmut's latest ranking comes as the company continues to expand its construction operations and workforce. The company has also received additional recognition in 2026, including being named a Best Place to Work in Los Angeles.
The Inc. 5000 recognition provides a measure of Shawmut's growth relative to other privately held businesses based on the ranking period ending in 2025.
Shawmut's inclusion on the 2026 Inc. 5000 highlights the scale of revenue expansion achieved by a privately held construction company during a three-year period.
For construction owners and industry executives, the ranking also provides a benchmark for Shawmut's growth trajectory as the company operates with a workforce of more than 1,500 employee-owners and revenue exceeding $2 billion.
