According to Construction Dive, Turner Construction hit record revenue of $29.2 billion in 2025, up 40% from the previous year, driven primarily by hyperscaler data center projects. The contractor’s backlog reached $44.3 billion, with data centers representing 37% of future work. Turner expects its data center revenue alone to exceed $20 billion by 2030.

What It Means for Subcontractors

  • Electrical contractors should prepare for massive power infrastructure demands as Turner scales projects like the $10 billion Meta facility in Indiana and $6 billion CoreWeave center in Pennsylvania
  • Mechanical and HVAC specialists will see increased demand for cooling systems, backup generators, and specialized climate control equipment essential for AI server operations
  • Site prep and concrete contractors can expect steady work as data center construction requires extensive foundations, equipment pads, and utility trenching across multiple sites
