As ENR Texas & Southeast readers will see when we publish this year’s Top Contractors rankings in August, many firms across the sprawling region posted impressive revenue numbers for 2024. For Baton Rouge, La.-based Performance Contractors, the previous year turned out to be record-setting.

In its self-nomination submitted to ENR via our annual Top Contractors survey, the industrial contractor reported that 2024 was “a record-setting year marked by growth, innovation and a resolute commitment to safety and workforce development.” The contractor also reported that it introduced new safety initiatives in the past year, including its “We Build Better – By Building It Safe” program, noting that the effort “enhances field leadership engagement through micro-learning video messaging and a renewed focus on execution standards.”

In all, the company reported approximately $3 billion in total 2024 revenue, with the vast majority—$2.82 billion—coming from the Texas and Southeast region, enough for Performance Contractors to rank 47th on this year’s Top 400 Contractors ranking. Where the contractor ranks on ENR Texas & Southeast’s Top Contractors ranking will be revealed in the upcoming print edition.

Performance Contractors also reported to ENR that it completed work in 24 states during 2024, and celebrated its 45th anniversary with “the highest annual performance in our company’s history—over 25 million manhours and peak manpower of over 12,000 personnel.”
