3.Effective January 1,1996,the Company adopted
  Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)  No.
  121  "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
  and  for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be Disposed  Of".   This
  Statement  requires that long-lived assets  to  be  held
  and   used  by  an  entity  be  recognized  as  impaired
  whenever  events  or  changes in circumstances  indicate
  that  the  carrying  amount  of  an  asset  may  not  be
  recoverable,  and when impaired to record an  impairment
  loss  to  state  the  asset  at  its  fair  value.    In
  addition, the Statement requires that long-lived  assets
  to  be  disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying
  amount  or fair value less cost to sell.  SFAS  No.  121
  is  required to be applied prospectively for  assets  to
  be  held  and  used,  and as a cumulative  effect  of  a
  change  in accounting principle upon initial application
  for  assets  to  be  disposed of.   The  impact  of  the
  adoption  of  SFAS  No.  121 was  not  material  to  the
  Consolidated Financial Statements.

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

Results  of operations for the six months ended  June  30,
1996  produced  a  net loss of $439,000  compared  to  net
income  of  $2.2 million from the corresponding period  of
1995.  The results of the quarter include the impact of  a
$5  million reserve relating to a construction project  in
Minneapolis.

Value  of construction completed for the six months  ended
June 30, 1996 increased 1% to $1.54 billion from the level
recorded   during  the  corresponding  period   in   1995.
Earnings  from construction contracts decreased  10%  from
the  prior  year  level to $31 million.  The  decrease  in
earnings  is  attributable to the  reserve  taken  on  the
Minneapolis  project  and reflects  management's  downward
revision  of  probable  recoveries  of  claims  which  are
subject to dispute by the customer.
  
Losses  from  real estate operations for  the  six  months
ended  June  30, 1996 increased $159,000 to $257,000  from
the  corresponding  period  in  1995.   This  increase  is
primarily the result of income from real estate  sales  in
1995 which did not recur in 1996.

Operating  and general and administrative expenses  during
the  six months ended June 30, 1996 increased 7% to  $28.4
million  from the corresponding period of 1995,  primarily
due to the increase in construction activity.

Interest  expense  for  the  first  six  months  of   1996
decreased  14%  to  $3.97 million from  the  corresponding
period in 1995 due to lower debt levels.

Other  income  for  the six months  ended  June  30,  1996
increased 56% to $805,000 from the corresponding period of
1995.   This is primarily due to increased interest income
attributable  to higher investment balances maintained  by
the Company.

At  June  30,  1996,  the company's backlog  of  value  of
construction  to  be  completed  was  $4.22  billion   and
anticipated   earnings  associated   with   backlog   from
construction  contracts  was $98.6  million,  compared  to
$3.99  billion  and  $92.1 million at December  31,  1995.
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 six months ended June 30,
1996 resulted in a net decrease of funds of $31.1 million.
Cash  flows used in operating activities amounted to $26.5
million   due   primarily  to  the  payment   of   accrued
liabilities  and  other  payables.   Cash  flows  used  in
investing  activities amounted to $2.8  million  which  is
principally  due to purchases of property  and  equipment.
Cash  flows used in financing activities amounted to  $1.9
million  primarily due to principal payments under capital
lease obligations.  The company's management believes that
the  company's  financial condition and  available  credit
facilities at June 30, 1996 are sufficient to support  the
present   and   prospective  levels   of   the   company's
operations.
