Top 225 International Contructors | Where Were They

Beginning operations abroad in the 1970s, mainly in Libya and several Middle Eastern countries, the Turkish construction sector has grown significantly and has become one of the leading exporters of construction services in the international market because of the cost advantage it offers. Turkish construction firms undertook over 4,600 projects worth some $136 billion in 70 countries between 1972 and 2008. The value of works undertaken in the overseas market by the Turkish Contractors have increased from USD 5.8 Billion in 2004 to USD 9.3-12.7-19.5 Billion in 2005-2007 and reached USD 23.6 Billion in 2008.
