Disaster Recovery Contractors
Restoration firms managing large-scale disaster reconstruction projects.
Market snapshot
These figures describe Restoration & Disaster Recovery (5.3.11), the segment that Disaster Recovery Contractors sits within. They are not figures for Disaster Recovery Contractors on its own.
Not separately sized. Restoration work is split between remediation contractors and the specialty trades that rebuild afterwards, with no classification spanning both. Demand is event-driven and insurance-funded, which decouples it from the construction cycle entirely. The segment grows on storm frequency and claims severity, not on building starts.
