COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Success in the engineering services industry requires efficient bidding and cost controls. Customers are more knowledgeable about costs and are breaking up projects into smaller elements -- potentially reducing efficiencies of scale -- and are expecting contractors to take on the bulk of cost risk, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers. Reduced government and commercial spending on infrastructure and construction projects during times of economic or political discord can diminish bidding opportunities.

Transportation projects as well as consulting services account for about 30% of the industry's revenue, each. Followed by commercial, public, and institutional building projects which accounts for about 20%.
