General contractor Kajima pioneered skyscraper construction in Japan and continues to shake things up with earthquake-resistant building technologies. The company builds commercial and public structures, such as railways, power plants, dams, and bridges. One of Japan's top contractors, Kajima provides its design, engineering, building, and real estate development services worldwide (though only 10% of revenue is from outside of Japan). A declining Japanese construction market has prompted the firm to look to activities such as building management and maintenance to gain revenue. Kajima is also strengthening its information technology segment, buying two IT firms in the US and planning e-commerce construction services.
