Customers

Strategy
Primoris focuses on selective bidding, self-performance of skilled work, and maintaining long-term customer relationships through MSAs and repeat project work. It also emphasizes a conservative capital structure and equipment/facility investment to support execution capacity in capital-intensive infrastructure markets.
Limits exposure to poorly priced work and concentrated customer risk.
Improves control over quality, safety, schedule, and labor availability.
Creates recurring work visibility and supports backlog conversion.
Infrastructure work is equipment- and labor-intensive, so capacity drives growth.
Geography
Primoris operates mainly in the United States, with additional activity in Canada, especially within the Energy segment. The company’s revenue is overwhelmingly U.S.-based, and its cross-border exposure is limited but relevant for project execution and currency/operational planning.
Risks
Primoris is exposed to project execution risk, weather and seasonality, labor availability, and customer concentration because its revenue depends on large, often nonrecurring construction and maintenance contracts. It also faces cyber, commodity, and foreign exchange risks, plus accounting sensitivity around over-time revenue recognition, estimates, and goodwill impairment.
