Turner Construction Company has introduced First Equipment Company (FEC), a centralised operation offering equipment rental and site services to projects.
The new company, a wholly owned subsidiary of Turner, will provide its services to Turner’s own projects and the more than 40,000 trade contractors working on them annually.
It will also supply equipment rental and site services to other general contractors and trade contractors across the US.
FEC has already been active on several Turner projects, particularly those categorised as advanced technology and large-scale developments.
The company’s integrated model, which combines procurement, operations, and support in one organisation, has shown operational benefits on these sites.
FEC manages sourcing, logistics, administration, and issue resolution, allowing project teams and trade contractors to focus more directly on execution, safety, and quality.
The move forms part of a broader investment in expanding project delivery capabilities, said Turner.
Other service offerings in this effort include xPL Offsite, SourceBlue, the Turner Accelerated Payment Program, the Turner Engineering Group, and an expansion of self-perform operations.
These initiatives aim to streamline efficiency for clients and support project partners.
By consolidating equipment rental and site services through FEC, Turner intends to simplify the process for sourcing and managing equipment such as heavy machinery, temporary power systems, lighting solutions, office and restroom trailers, fencing, and site controls.
This centralisation is designed to cut administrative tasks while improving coordination by providing clear points of contact for project teams and trade partners.
Turner Construction Company senior vice president Shannon Hines said: “First Equipment Company is a strategic investment in our ability to deliver projects more efficiently.
“By supporting the contractors working on our projects with a consistent, streamlined equipment experience, we help improve productivity in the field—benefiting our project teams and, ultimately, our clients.”
In November last year, Turner reported that its project backlog increased by 20% year-over-year, surpassing $40bn in the third quarter of 2025.
