CHARLOTTE – Nine construction firms based in the region made the cut among the top 100 privately held companies in the state, according to Chicago-based law firm Grant Thornton.

To be considered, companies must be headquartered in North Carolina and cannot be a subsidiary of another company or have publicly traded stock. Companies owned by private equity are allowed. Nonprofit, financial-services and health-care companies also are excluded from the ranking.
