The Engineering News-Record (ENR), a news outlet known as the authority for tracking the construction industry, has placed The Christman Company (Christman) at #88 on its 2020 “ENR 400” list of the top 400 contractors nationally, a jump from the company’s 2019 ranking of 93. Overall rankings were calculated according to 2019 construction revenue.

“It is an honor to again be named in ENR’s top 100 national contractors, this year rising to #88.

We will continue our focus on client outcomes and relationships, while keeping our promise of building with integrity.”

  • Neyland Stadium improvements; Knoxville, Tennessee; $131.7 million

It is truly a great place to work.”
