French construction group Bouygues Construction has finalised the acquisition of Vannoy Construction, a Charlotte, North Carolina-based general contractor operating across the southeastern United States, as reported by Bouygues Construction's corporate newsroom. The deal, completed on 30 June 2026, strengthens Bouygues Construction's position in North America and marks a significant step in its international growth strategy.

Vannoy Construction reported revenue of €873 million ($1.007 billion) in 2025 and operates from seven locations across North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. Founded in 1952 by Jim and Wilma Vannoy in Jefferson, North Carolina, the company works with both public and private clients across healthcare, education, manufacturing, retail and data centre sectors, carrying a solid order backlog that reflects sustained client demand in the region.

Bouygues Construction already holds an established US presence through projects in Florida, Rhode Island and Washington DC. The Vannoy acquisition consolidates its position in the southeastern United States, a market the group identifies as one of the country's most attractive, driven by strong demographic and economic growth and sustained investment in infrastructure, healthcare facilities and industrial buildings.

Pierre-Éric Saint-André, CEO of Bouygues Construction, said: "This acquisition is a landmark in strengthening our operations in the United States. It makes perfect sense, and I am in no doubt that it will help unlock Vannoy Construction's growth potential and add resilience to Bouygues Construction's growth model in mature economies. We were immediately struck by the shared values between our companies: a long-term vision, a collective commitment to its projects, and a dedication to building relationships of trust with its clients and partners."

Mark Vannoy, president of Vannoy Construction, said the acquisition represented a new phase in the company's history rather than a break with the past, adding that Bouygues Construction had demonstrated the same long-term vision and human-centred values. Vannoy confirmed there would be no change to the management team, the brand or the company culture following the transaction.

Bouygues Construction reported revenue of €10.6 billion in 2025 and operates across Europe, the Asia-Pacific region and North America. The acquisition also creates potential synergies across the wider Bouygues Group, with both Equans and Colas already active in the southeastern US market.

Vannoy Construction's management team will remain in place, with Mark Vannoy continuing as president and Eddie Vannoy continuing as CEO following the transaction.
