Our annual ranking of top construction firms highlights the top companies in Portland based on their project volume over the past year, with a focus on relevance. This compilation is derived from permit and contractor information sourced from city, county, and state building departments through our partners at BuildZoom. For further information regarding data accuracy, please consult the note at the end of this article.
Construction data serves a variety of purposes for different players in the industry. For businesses supplying materials and services to general contractors, this data helps them connect with the right audience at the right time. By tracking important milestones, like the start of major projects, suppliers can time their outreach to meet contractors’ needs for new resources, ensuring their offerings are timely and relevant. Moreover, by analyzing construction industry trends, suppliers can focus on those contractors who are likely to experience growth. Subcontractors can also use this data to target general contractors they want to collaborate with on future projects. On the other hand, real estate developers, property owners, and others needing contractors can use detailed contractor data to assess the skills and reputation of contractors and subcontractors, helping them make more informed decisions. With access to construction analytics, they can evaluate a contractor’s performance and track record based on their building construction history, ensuring the right expertise is applied to each project.
