Sukut Construction Ranked 297th Largest Contractor in Nation

SANTA ANA, CALIF. (July 23, 2004) -- Sukut Construction, Inc. is now ranked among the largest contractors, growing from a small Southern California earth-moving contractor to the 297th largest contractor in the nation. Santa Ana-based Sukut was listed in the Engineering News Record (ENR) May 17, 2004 issue, which annually features the 400 largest contractors in the U.S.

In just five short years, Sukut’s annual revenues have grown from $30 million to $142 million. This steady growth rate recently earned Sukut the Emerging Growth Award from the Association for Corporate Growth. Sukut also ranks as the 110th largest environmental contactor in the nation.

President and CEO Michael Crawford attributes this impressive growth to generating repeat business customers. “Our marketing plan focuses on delivering quality – on time and on budget -- with high-growth customers. Much of this remarkable growth has been in the Inland Empire, which is the fastest growing region in the nation.” The result of this repeat-business strategy has doubled the number of projects in the pipeline in two years. According to Crawford, 2004 revenues continue to increase at a steady pace with current backlog outpacing 2003 revenues.

Sukut’s growth has also prompted expansion into new regions with the opening of additional offices. In addition to expanding its offices in Orange County and Oceanside, it has opened offices in Van Nuys and Tracy, California.

Founded in 1968, Sukut Construction has been recognized with 26 major honors for its innovative, proprietary soils and earthwork logistics technology. Sukut’s expertise includes residential developments, world-renowned golf courses, storm and drainage systems, and freeways and toll roads throughout California.
