retained  earnings and the consolidated  statements  of

3.Interest  costs incurred and expensed  for  the

  Interest  costs incurred and expensed for the  nine
  months  and three months ended September  30,  1993
  were $5,730 and $1,921, respectively.

4.Effective  January 1, 1994, the company  adopted
  Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards  (SFAS)
  No.  115,  "Accounting  for Certain  Investments  in
  Debt  and  Equity Securities."  Under SFAS No.  115,
  debt  and equity securities not classified as either
  held-to-maturity  securities or  trading  securities
  are  classified as available-for-sale securities and
  reported  at fair value, with unrealized  gains  and
  losses  excluded  from earnings and  reported  as  a
  separate component of Stockholders' equity.

  During  the first nine months of 1994, the  company
  charged  $191 of unrealized losses to Stockholders'
  equity.

5.Effective  January 1, 1994, the  company  adopted
  Statement  of  Financial Accounting Standards  (SFAS)
  No.  112  "Employers  Accounting  for  Postemployment
  Benefits."   Under SFAS No. 112 an  accrual  must  be
  made   for   all  types  of  postemployment  benefits
  provided  to  former  or  inactive  employees,  their
  beneficiaries    and   covered    dependents    after
  employment,  but before retirement.   The  impact  of
  the  adoption  of SFAS has not been material  to  the
  consolidated financial statements.

Item 2.    Management's  Discussion  &  Analysis  of
      Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The  Company reported net income for the  nine
months  ended  September 30, 1994  of  $3.0  million
compared  to  net  income of $2.8  million  for  the
corresponding  period  of  1993,  and  reported  net
income for the three months ended September 30, 1994
of  $896  thousand compared with net income of  $911
thousand  for  the  same period  of  1993.   Pre-tax
income for the nine months ended September 30,  1994
was  significantly lower than during the same period
of  1993, and the Company had a pre-tax loss for the
three  months ended on September 30, 1994.  However,
net  income for the 1994 periods was almost the same
as  for  the  1993  periods because  of  excess  tax
reserves  which were taken into income in the  three
months ended September 30, 1994.

Value  of construction completed for the  nine
months ended September 30, 1994 decreased by 6% from
the  level recorded during the corresponding  period
in  1993 to $1.9 billion.  Because of this, earnings
from  construction contracts decreased 20% from  the
prior  year  level  to $41.0 million.   Construction
earnings for the nine and three month periods  ended
September  30,  1994  were  also  affected  by  $5.2
million  of  losses resulting from re-evaluation  of
construction contracts entered into by  the  Company
in Puerto Rico.

Losses from real estate operations for the nine
months  ended  September 30, 1994 decreased  91%  to
$322,000  from  the corresponding  period  in  1993.
This decrease is due primarily to a gain recorded on
the   sale   of   lease  rights  of  the   Company's
Rickenbacker facility and the continued reduction in
operating  costs  due  to  the  reduction   of   the
Company's real estate portfolio.

Operating   and  general  and  administrative
expenses during the nine months ended September  30,
1994, decreased overall by 9% from the corresponding
period of 1994 to $39.0 million due to the company's
continued overhead reduction program which was begun
in  prior  years.  In addition, the company  reduced
expenses by approximately $3.4 million from the same
period  of  the  prior  year  as  a  result   of   a
restructuring program that was reserved for in 1993.
The   cost  charged  to  the  restructuring  reserve
consisted   primarily   of   salary   and    benefit
continuation  costs, out placement,  and  relocation
costs.

Other income for the six months ended September
30,  1994 amounted to a loss of $721,000 mostly  due
to losses in overseas operations as a result of soft
market conditions.

The decline in value of construction completed
during  the  nine  months ended September  30,  1994
compared  with  the same period of  the  prior  year
reflects  the  effects  of a  virtual  cessation  of
commercial  and multifamily residential construction
starts  in  the early part of the 1990's.   However,
sales  of  new  construction during the  first  nine
months of 1994 were 15% higher than during the  same
period  of  1993, reflecting both  a  shift  in  the
Company's  emphasis from commercial and  residential
construction   to  governmental  and   institutional
construction,  and the beginning of  a  recovery  in
commercial and multifamily residential construction.
                             -9-
                              
At September 30, 1994, the company's backlog of
value  of  construction to be  completed  was  $4.94
billion  and  anticipated earnings  associated  with
backlog  from  construction  contracts  was   $101.2
million, compared to $4.66 billion and $91.8 million
respectively,  as of December 31,  1993.   Estimated
earnings  from  construction  contracts  cannot  and
should not be used as the basis of predictions  with
respect to future net income.

Because  of the constantly changing proportion
of  construction  management  contracts,  consulting
work,   construction  contract  types   (cost   plus
percentage  fee,  cost  plus fixed  fee,  guaranteed
total   and  lump  sum),  and  other  factors,   the
relationship of value of work completed and earnings
from   construction  contracts  is  not  necessarily
meaningful in the short run.

The company's cash flow for the nine months ended
September  30,  1994 resulted in a net  increase  of
funds of $8.9 million.  Cash flows used in operating
activities  amounted to $17.8 million due  primarily
to  the  slow  down  in collection  of  construction
receivables.   Cash flows from investing  activities
amounted  to $12.9 million which is principally  the
result of the sale of marketable securities and real
estate  sales.   Cash  flows provided  by  financing
activities  amounted to $13.8 million primarily  due
to  borrowings  on existing credit facilities.   The
company's  management believes  that  the  company's
financial  condition and available credit facilities
at  September 30, 1994 are sufficient to support the
present  and  prospective levels  of  the  company's
operations.
