Our annual ranking of top construction firms highlights the top companies in Chesapeake 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 supports a wide range of needs across the construction industry, from planning to partnership building. Suppliers and service providers can apply contractor data and insights from construction activity to identify the most effective times to connect with general contractors. Watching for signs such as project launches or steady business expansion allows them to deliver resources when they are most needed. Subcontractors can also use this information to find and approach contractors who are likely to require their expertise on upcoming projects. At the same time, developers, property owners, and others responsible for projects can rely on construction history to confirm the quality and trustworthiness of contractors and subcontractors before making hiring decisions. By combining these details with construction industry trends, businesses and stakeholders are able to anticipate changes in the market, improve the timing of their strategies, and strengthen collaboration across projects.
