I own and operate a construction company here in Missouri. People are telling me there are opportunities to make major money in the middle east. You name it if its construction I can get it done. Who do I contact to get good informative answers. Is it possible to take my family with me.

Rebuilding the infrastructure of Iraq was supposed to be a priority back in 2003-4, however, some companies felt they could make more money collecting contracts to do things they had no idea how to accomplish. Consequently, there is a lot to be done still.
Problem; Safety.
Any construction will probably be done within the confines of a Military base, and although much of what is being built is reinforced, it's hardly there to stay.
Afghanistan is in a similar state, but somewhere along the line, companies had to actually show they could do the job before getting the contracts.
You, as a company owner, could submit a bid through the Logcap program for a specific project, but chances are you would be underbid by a much larger company who already has a pool of very cheap labor in country.
Better to contact a contracting company who is in theater and hire on as a Foreman, Laborer Foreman or Supervisor.
.... And "No", your family can't be with you in a Hostile zone. But you can fly them to Dubai and then go anywhere you want for R&R every 3-4 months.
Here are some of the links I generally send people to;

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. - Steve Jobs
