October 10, 2014

When traveling on the road to recovery, the nation’s largest electrical contractors have been challenged by suddenly cancelled projects, meager margins,and a severe labor shortage. Last year, however, the construction market finally shifted into a positive direction.

Russ Lancey, vice president of estimating forFive Star Electric Corp. (No. 9.), Ozone Park, N.Y.,attributed the long-awaited turnaround to renewedstrength in the private sector.

“In 2013, more work became available,and margins slowly started climbing,”says Lancey, whose firm is new to EC&M’s annual proprietary listing.“This year, we are moving beyondthe recovery, and there’s no shortageof work. A lot of people are busy,including our company.”
