- Project/EPC upside: Larger, often fixed-price projects (primarily Energy) drive step-ups in revenue and margin when executed well.

Founding History
Primoris traces its roots to ARB, Inc. (founded 1960). The current parent entity was organized in 2003 and became a public company in 2008 through a merger with a SPAC (Rhapsody Acquisition Corp.), adopting the Primoris Services Corporation name. Growth since then has come from a combination of organic expansion and acquisitions in utilities, pipeline, industrial, and renewables construction.
