Our annual ranking of top construction firms highlights the top companies in Sparks 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 useful for many people working in the industry. Companies that sell materials or offer services to general contractors can use this information to connect with the right clients at the right time. For example, by keeping an eye on when big construction projects begin—using tools that track construction activity—these businesses can reach out just when contractors are likely to need supplies or support, making their outreach more effective. Suppliers and service providers can also look at a contractor’s construction history to identify those that are growing and may need additional resources. Subcontractors can benefit too by using this data to find and connect with general contractors for future work. On the other hand, developers, property owners, and others involved in building projects can use this information to evaluate a contractor’s past performance and reliability, helping them choose the right team for the job.
