Skanska in brief

Skanska is one of the world’s leading project development and construction groups with expertise in commercial and residential projects, design-build and public-private partnerships. In the United States, Skanska’s four businesses include: Skanska USA Building, Skanska USA Civil, Skanska Infrastructure Development and Skanska Commercial Development.

The Skanska Group currently has 56,000 employees worldwide, more than 8,000 of whom work in the United States.

At any one time we have approximately 1,000 projects taking place in almost all of the 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. Our U.S. headquarters are in Whitestone, New York.

The combined sales of our U.S. business units in 2008 totaled more than USD 6.3 billion. Approximately 75 percent of our business in the U.S. comes from repeat customers.

We were the first U.S. construction firm to have all of our operations uphold the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System (EMS) Standard - which immediately earns us one LEED® credit on all our projects. We are also consistantly ranked as one of the top Green Builder's in the U.S. by Engineering News-Record.
