Limits of this reading
- The headcount is the sum of the stated salaried and hourly counts at year end (rule 2); the Index row carried the salaried count alone, and the hourly count peaks at about 5,200 in the construction season.
- The U.S. share and the union share are given in words and left null.
- The filing counts nothing by segment, so the materials share is by description from the revenue line (c).

Questions about this company
- How much of Granite Construction Incorporated's working time is within reach of AI?
- An estimated 17% now and 20% by the end of 2028, on METR's long-run pace at four in five, from the workforce Granite Construction Incorporated's own annual report describes and BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. It is an estimate with a stated method. It is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings, and it says nothing about what the company will do.
- How many people does Granite Construction Incorporated employ?
- 5,800 as of December 31, 2025, as its annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025 states as the sum of the parts it gives.
- What kinds of work make up Granite Construction Incorporated's workforce?
- Read from its annual report as a blend of 2 industry staffing patterns, the largest Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction; by those patterns the work is about 20% desk work, 11% people work and 69% body work. Each share has a one-sentence reason on this page that can be checked against the filing.
- What does Granite Construction Incorporated's annual report say about AI?
- 7 sentences in the filing name AI. Its annual reports for fiscal 2021 to 2025 name it in 0, 0, 1, 7 and 7 sentences, year by year. They are counted and quoted on this page, never judged: a count says how much a filing talks about AI, not what the company does with it.
- How is this estimated?
- Claude Fable 5.1 read the annual report under the Index's written rubric (version 1) on November 9, 2026: the stated headcount, the share in the U.S. when stated, and the workforce as a blend of industry staffing patterns. The estimates are the site's industry estimates weighted by those shares, from O*NET tasks with estimated lengths and METR's measurements of how long a task AI models can finish. A company can write to info@stratussc.com to have its reading checked against its filing.
