2023 Top Metal Builders

The return to growth

By Paul Deffenbaugh

2023 Tmb Map

For the second year, we’ve broken out the list of 20 top erectors from the list of 100 top contractors. The most important reason is so that we don’t end up counting work on the same building twice, once for the contractor furnishing the metal building system and again for the erector putting up the steel.

That does cause complications, though, because some companies furnish and erect, but also are contracted to only erect a building, making them both contractors and erectors. Rather than separate those numbers out in the same entity, we identify those companies as contractors.

The two lists make it difficult to compare trends such as changes in market share or building size over the years. To alleviate that, we identified the 100 largest companies, regardless of definition, and show how their averages compare to previous years.

The Biggest Challenge

Labor shortage, labor shortage, labor shortage. Say it often enough and maybe someday it won’t be the issue that vexes the construction industry and especially the metal building system side. Every year since 2011 when we began asking metal builders what their biggest challenge was, the lack of skilled labor has led the pack.

This year, the problem is back with a vengeance as 42% of top metal builders said it was the biggest challenge they faced in 2022.

If you take labor shortage, rising material and labor costs, and lengthening lead time together, they represent about 75% of the challenges reported this year. That’s not a whole lot different from the challenges top metal builders said they faced in 2021, but then the lead times issues was buried within overall scheduling problems caused by witches brew of materials shortages, supply chain disruption and worker shortages.

One big note of change from 2021 to 2022 is the supply issue disruption. Last year, 21.3% of top metal builders reported having to deal with supply chain issues, but this year it was down to 8.5%. Perhaps the clogs that have been created by COVID-19 have been unstopped and the supply chain is beginning to operate normally.

One new problem child has reared its head: inflation and interest rates. We broke inflation out from increased material and labor costs because the mentions were broader than those two items and were combined with the rising interest rates. Top metal builders report delays in funding for projects or cancelled projects because of the increased costs of borrowing money.

Weather delays and permitting problems always hit the list of challenges top metal builders face, but there was a slight increase in reporting on both those issues this year.

Overview

The average tonnage and square footage of metal building contractors and erectors increased significantly in 2022 compared to 2021. For the 100 largest contractors, the tonnage increased 8.1%, while the square footage jumped up 15.6%.

The 20 largest metal building erectors saw an even greater increase in both tonnage (29.9%) and square footage (24.3%). Those numbers indicate a healthy industry on the rebound from a couple of tough years.

When we took only the 100 largest builders, regardless if they were contractors or erectors, we saw similar significant increases. The average tonnage increased 20.9% and square footage was 22.4% higher.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a sharp decrease in the tonnage and square footage installed by metal building contractors. In 2018, the industry reached a peak over the last decade before the drop off. But this year, both tonnage and square footage increased significantly compared to last year.

When looking at the tonnage and square footage of the combined lists of contractors and erectors, you see significant increases in the last couple of years. Most of that increase can be attributed to creating a separate erector list, since those contractors tend to take on larger projects. But even so, the jump in size over the last two years is notable.


Market Share

One of the most interesting results of tracking the largest metal building contractors and erectors is to see if there is consolidation within the industry. To that end, we combined the lists to identify the 100 largest companies, regardless of type of business. Then we compared the 10 largest contractors and erectors to the next 80 to see if they are gaining more market share. This year, that percentage (60.8%) was essentially flat compared to last year (59.3%). But over the last dozen years, the red trendline on the chart shows how market share has increased slightly.

Because we changed our methodology last year and started creating separate lists for contractors and erectors, we pulled out just the contractors to be able to compare to previous years. After a dip last year to 56.1% market share for the top 10, which was probably a result of removing erectors from the combined list, we saw a slight increase this year to 57.9%. But, since 2011 when we began measuring this, we still haven’t seen much increase in market share of the 10 largest contractors.
