Whether your architecture or engineering firm's team is in one office or spread out across the globe, you need rock-solid data to make sure your compensation is effective, fair, and market-aligned.

When comp gets bloated, your cash flow and profits suffer…and disruptive layoffs become the only fix. But when you underpay, you risk that “do you have a minute?” meeting where one of your top performers breaks the news she is leaving.

Don't risk either of these negative outcomes.

Plug your pay numbers into our all-new Excel-based 2025 A/E Management and Staff Compensation Model and instantly see exactly where you stand, for all your firm's positions!

About our data...

Any executive decision-making tool is only as good as the data behind it, so you can have confidence in our 2025 A/E Compensation Benchmarking Model. It comes pre-loaded with data that's up-to-date for 2025 and:  

Vetted. The data you base your decisions on is gathered through our in-depth survey of A/E firms, scrubbed against a series of error traps and reviewed from multiple angles for reasonableness.

Unbiased. Our data is provided by employers rather than employees. That means the salaries are current and accurate…not over-or under-stated to support an ulterior motive.

Comprehensive. Our data is way more than just simple salaries. This model digs deep into cash and non-cash components to give you the full picture.

Don’t go another day wondering if you have compensation right at your A/E firm. With 2025 A/E Compensation Benchmarking Model as your guide, you enjoy the confidence and peace-of-mind you can’t get anywhere else.

“We consistently use PSMJ’s compensation data to make informed compensation decisions. PSMJ survey data is a great resource for hard to find information. It helps us to feel confident that we make the best possible decision while being able to communicate to employees how we got there.”
