Our annual ranking of top construction firms highlights the top companies in Norfolk based on their project volume over the past year, with a focus on relevance.

Construction data plays a crucial role for many professionals in the building industry. Companies providing materials and services to general contractors can leverage construction market trends and construction history to effectively target the right audience. By tracking key events such as the launch of major construction projects and analyzing past construction activity, suppliers can time their outreach when contractors are most likely to need new materials and services. Understanding contractors’ growth patterns helps suppliers focus on those expanding their business and in need of additional support. Similarly, subcontractors use contractor data to identify and connect with general contractors for new project opportunities. Meanwhile, real estate developers, property owners, and project managers rely on detailed construction data to verify the qualifications, reliability, and past performance of contractors and subcontractors before hiring. Utilizing these insights ensures informed decisions and successful project outcomes in the competitive construction industry.
