Regional players

• MasTec: Infrastructure construction company delivering services across communications, clean energy, pipeline, and power infrastructure. Comparable as a contractor for complex infrastructure projects but operates in different end markets.
• Primoris Services Corporation: Infrastructure and construction services firm serving utilities, energy, and civil infrastructure markets across North America. Comparable for civil/infrastructure construction services.
• Granite Construction: Heavy civil contractor focused on transportation infrastructure, water resources, and site development across the US. Comparable for Neely's infrastructure construction (bridges, roadways) service line.

Broad incumbents

• EMCOR Group: National provider of mechanical & electrical construction, building services, and industrial services for commercial and industrial clients. Overlaps with Neely's industrial construction and specialty MEP-adjacent work.
• AECOM: Global infrastructure consulting firm offering engineering, design, and construction services across industrial, transportation, and government markets. Competitor for large infrastructure and industrial design-build pursuits.
• Burns & McDonnell: 100% employee-owned engineering, architecture, and construction firm offering full design-build services across industrial, commercial, and infrastructure markets. Much larger and broader, but the same integrated A&E/GC delivery model applies.
• KBR (Government Solutions): Engineering and government services contractor delivering infrastructure, construction, and technical services. Comparable for government/municipal infrastructure work and engineering services.
• Balfour Beatty US: General contractor and construction manager delivering commercial, industrial, and infrastructure projects across the US, including in the Southeast. Comparable for general contracting and pre-construction services.

Direct peers

• Hargrove Engineers + Constructors: Employee-owned EPC firm delivering design-build engineering and construction services for industrial process clients. Highly comparable single-source accountability model, though larger in scale and broader in industrial verticals than Neely.
• Messer Construction: Regional design-build contractor operating across the Midwest and Southeast with industrial, commercial, and healthcare construction capabilities. Closely comparable in service mix and geography, though materially larger in headcount and revenue.
