About Legence Corp.
About Legence Corp.
Legence generated $2,550.5 million in 2025 revenue, with data centers & technology clients accounting for 42.7% and life sciences & healthcare adding 18.0% of revenue. The company held $3.7 billion of backlog and awarded contracts at December 31, 2025—a 49% increase from year-end 2024—and employed approximately 7,000 people across 116 locations in 46 U.S. states.
Legence earns revenue through two segments under predominantly fixed-price contracts. Engineering & Consulting (Engineering & Design at 59% of segment revenue, Program & Project Management at 41%) serves clients needing HVAC system design, energy-efficiency strategies, and construction oversight. Installation & Maintenance (Installation & Fabrication at 82%, Maintenance & Service at 18%) fabricates and installs HVAC, piping, electrical, and plumbing systems and provides multi-year preventative maintenance agreements. In 2025, 60% of revenues came from retrofits and upgrades to existing buildings and 40% from new construction. National competitors in installation include Comfort Systems USA, ACCO Engineered Systems, and Southland Industries; national competitors in engineering include Affiliated Engineers Inc., Stantec Inc., and WSP Global. Materials—ductwork, pipe, valves, conduit, and sheet metal—are available from multiple domestic and foreign suppliers; import tariff costs on internationally procured materials are passed through contractually to clients.
Show full overview
Labor exposure is the most structurally differentiated risk for a fixed-price MEP contractor. Legence has 44 active collective bargaining agreements covering roughly 4,500 of its approximately 7,000 employees, with contracts typically renewed every three years. The company has not experienced significant strikes or work stoppages in the past decade; however, if future negotiations fail, resulting work stoppages could delay project timelines on fixed-price contracts where late completion may trigger liquidated damages provisions.
