Turner Construction Company has earned top-five rankings across 18 market sectors in Engineering News-Record’s latest rankings, highlighting its activity across a broad range of building and infrastructure markets.
The company ranked among the top five in 18 of the 21 sectors in which it was evaluated. Turner placed first in General Building, Healthcare, Education and Sports, while also securing second-place rankings in Commercial, Telecommunications and Data Centers.
The latest rankings come as Turner reports continued business growth during the first half of 2026. The company’s backlog reached $52.7 billion, representing a 35% increase from the same period in 2025.
Revenue increased 23% year over year to $16.5 billion, while Turner secured $24.5 billion in new orders during the first six months of the year.
Several specialized markets recorded substantial backlog growth. Data Centers increased from $12.6 billion to $22 billion, while Aviation backlog rose from $3.1 billion to $5.3 billion. Healthcare backlog increased from $6.6 billion to $7.6 billion.
The results reflect continued demand for construction services across technology, healthcare, aviation and other large-scale building sectors.
Turner also ranked third in Aviation and fourth in Government and Pharmaceuticals, extending its presence across technically complex and highly regulated markets.
The company's market-sector performance includes work ranging from major healthcare and education facilities to data centers, telecommunications infrastructure and sports venues. The New Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, New York, which was completed in 2026, was highlighted alongside the rankings.
The latest recognition follows Turner’s earlier designation as the top contractor in the United States for the sixth consecutive year, according to the company's announcement.
Turner’s rankings and first-half financial results provide an indication of continued construction activity across several major building sectors. Strong backlog growth in data centers, aviation and healthcare also points to significant project demand in markets requiring specialized construction capabilities and technical expertise.
