Developer and "owners are seeking experienced construction firms with management expertise not just to oversee individual projects, but to manage entire programs. This no longer is limited to the larger firms and is opening up a whole new world of opportunities for companies with the background and the daring to think outside the box." Leading the list are Bechtel Group Inc. of San Francisco, CA; Fluor Corp. of Aliso Viejo, CA, and Kellogg Brown & Root of Houston, TX.
