PSMJ Resources, Inc., the world’s leading authority on architecture, engineering, and construction firm management, recently announced sixty-eight exceptional architecture and engineering (AE) firms made it onto the exclusive 2023 Circle of Excellence list.

PSMJ’s Circle of Excellence debuted in 2006 and, since then, it is also worth noting that 9 firms have made it into the Circle of Excellence ten (or more) years (including 2023). These firms are Brown Engineers, LLC; Carpenter Marty Transportation; DGR Engineering; Great West Engineering, Inc.; Kimley-Horn; Klohn Crippen Berger; Pape-Dawson Engineers, LLC; Rowland+Broughton Architecture and Urban Design; and Williams Blackstock Architects, Inc.
“Making it into the Circle of Excellence for even just one year is quite remarkable. However, delivering this kind of performance year after year speaks volumes about the forward-thinking leadership and sound strategy behind these firms,” states PSMJ President Gregory Hart. “This is about so much more than just growth for growth’s sake. This is about having a lasting impact and about building a firm that can withstand changing economic cycles and so much more.”
PSMJ will honor these high-performing firms at AEC THRIVE: The Growth, Profit, and Success Summit for AEC Firm Leaders at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City on September 20-22, 2023. This unique conference is an opportunity to hear directly from the leaders of top-performing AE firms and other industry visionaries to learn what they are doing right now to vault to the next level of profit and performance as new business challenges and opportunities arise.
