BUILDING THE IMPOSSIBLE IS JUST PART OF THE JOB.

Crossland Construction ranks #47 on Engineering News-Record’s 2026 Top 400 Contractors list, which ranks US contractors by annual construction revenue. Crossland first appeared on the list in 2000 at #400 and has climbed steadily since, entering the Top 50 in 2025. Founded in 1977 in Columbus, Kansas, the company now employs more than 2,000 people across offices in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, and Colorado, and is qualified to work in 35 states.

Yes. Crossland Prefab is Crossland’s in-house precast concrete supplier, producing custom concrete panels, beams, and structural components at its manufacturing facility and delivering them to job sites for crane installation. Services include estimating, detailing and shop drawings, rebar and mesh reinforcement, custom embeds, and installation. On a recent project in Leavenworth, Kansas, Crossland Prefab produced 707 precast panels under a $12 million contract, its largest prefab project to date.

Look at four things. First, relevant project experience at your scale and in your building type. Second, financial stability, which industry rankings like ENR’s Top 400 can indicate. Third, self-perform capability, since contractors that perform their own concrete, steel, and earthwork have more control over schedule and quality than firms that subcontract everything. Fourth, preconstruction depth, because accurate budgeting and scheduling before ground breaks is where most expansion projects succeed or fail. Crossland offers all four, with in-house crews, its own equipment fleet, concrete batch plants, and a precast division that reduce reliance on third parties.

Crossland has delivered public and community projects across the central US, including the Gathering Place park in Tulsa, the Springfield Sports Complex in Missouri, the Cornell Arts Complex in Joplin, Kenny Deel Stadium for Melissa ISD in Texas, and school construction and renovation for districts across the country. The company also builds municipal water and wastewater infrastructure through Crossland Heavy Contractors, including treatment plant projects in Topeka, Lawrence, Tulsa, and Jenks.

Crossland is a family-owned company with more than 2,000 employees and has earned Great Place To Work certification. Employees have access to Crossland Academy, the company’s in-house education department offering nationally accredited training and certifications, along with a paid apprenticeship program, a college internship program, and the Emerging Leader Program for field and project engineers. The company remains owned and operated by the Crossland family, founded by Ivan “Red Iron” Crossland in 1977.

Crossland runs one of the largest construction education programs in its region through Crossland Academy, its in-house training department. The two-year Crossland Apprenticeship Program follows the nationally recognized NCCER curriculum and leads to US Department of Labor journeyman certification in carpentry, heavy equipment operation, or ironworking. In 2025, 50 apprentices earned state journeyman certifications after completing more than 8,000 combined hours of field and classroom training. Additional programs include the Kickstart summer program for high school graduates, a college internship program, and the Emerging Leader Program.

Crossland self-performs concrete, steel, earthwork, and carpentry with its own crews, which removes the scheduling risk of waiting on subcontractor availability. The company owns and maintains its own equipment fleet, including more than ten large cranes added in the past year, and operates its own concrete batch plants to avoid supply shortages. Crossland Prefab manufactures precast components off-site, which compresses on-site construction time. Contract structures like Guaranteed Maximum Price give owners schedule and budget certainty from the start.

Crossland’s sustainability work centers on off-site prefabrication and environmental infrastructure. Crossland Prefab manufactures precast concrete in a controlled facility, which reduces material waste and on-site labor compared to conventional cast-in-place methods. Crossland Heavy Contractors builds water and wastewater treatment infrastructure, including recent plant rehabilitation and upgrade projects in Topeka, Lawrence, Tulsa, and Jenks, work that directly supports clean water in the communities it serves.

Crossland builds commercial, education, healthcare, government, industrial, retail, and multifamily projects, along with heavy civil and water infrastructure through Crossland Heavy Contractors. The company has delivered everything from three million square feet of simultaneous warehouse construction to veterans hospitals, airports, and school campuses. Long-term clients include Pittsburg State University, TAMKO, and Leggett & Platt.
