construction firms
Erectors of structures
Construction firms are companies that build structures—houses, office buildings, roads, bridges.
The term emphasizes the business entity rather than the work itself: Three construction firms bid on the hospital project.
Firm here carries a slightly formal, professional tone compared to "construction company."
