Our annual ranking of top construction firms highlights the top companies in Newport News 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 can be incredibly valuable for many people working in the industry. For example, companies that sell materials or offer services to general contractors can use this data to better understand when and how to reach out. By keeping an eye on major project starts or other important milestones, they can connect with contractors at just the right time—when they’re likely to need new supplies or support. Patterns in a contractor’s business activity can also help suppliers and service providers identify which contractors are growing and may be open to new partnerships. Contractor data plays a key role in making these insights possible, offering visibility into business growth, permit activity, and project focus. Subcontractors can use this information, too, to find and approach general contractors they want to work with. At the same time, real estate developers and property owners can rely on detailed construction history to check a contractor’s experience and qualifications before bringing them onto a project.
