Suffolk Construction featured on Modern Healthcare's top construction management companies list
Suffolk Construction ranked #11 on Modern Healthcare's 2012 "Top Construction Management Companies" list. This prestigious list is based on the publication's annual Construction and Design Survey, which ranks construction management companies by their 2011 dollar volume for completed healthcare projects.
For this year's list, Suffolk outranked notable construction companies such as Balfour Beatty Construction and JE Dunn Construction.
Modern Healthcare's Construction and Design Survey provides important information on construction and design firms that do business within the healthcare industry. Companies that participate are required to be based in the U.S. and have 100,000 s/f or more of healthcare projects in at least one phase of construction—completed, broke ground/in progress or designed. Companies include projects where they are the architect, construction manager, general contractor, design/build firm or developer of record.
The 2012 Construction & Design Survey results were announced in the March 12, 2012 issue of Modern Healthcare.
