The general contracting segment accounted for USD 41.4 billion, representing 51.7% of share in 2025. This delivery model continues to dominate due to its structured approach, where contractors execute construction work based on client-provided or independently developed designs. It is particularly widely used in public infrastructure development, where design and construction responsibilities are managed separately. General contractors oversee subcontractors, procurement activities, workforce management, and project execution, while design responsibilities typically remain with external consultants, ensuring clear role separation throughout project delivery.
The small projects segment held a 34.1% share with a value of USD 27.38 billion in 2025. This segment includes many localized construction activities such as residential developments, small-scale commercial buildings, renovation work, minor infrastructure upgrades, and civil engineering projects. Although individually smaller in scale, these projects collectively form a significant share of total construction activity and provide steady demand for regional contractors. They also serve as a key source of employment and business continuity for local construction firms across Spain.
Sacyr, Ferrovial, ACS Group, Acciona, OHLA, FCC (Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas), Dragados, Vinci, Skanska, Eiffage, Bouygues Construction, Elecnor, AZVI (Grupo Azvi), COMSA Corporacion, and Tecnicas Reunidas are among the key companies operating in the Spain Construction Industry.
