COE-Logo_FINAL_v2-200x200.jpgThe top-performing firms in the architecture and engineering industry are not only achieving greater profits (43%), but are growing their staffs exponentially (28%), and generating record setting labor utilization rates (75%).

This is what the benchmarking data garnered from the recently announced members of PSMJ's 2017 Circle of Excellence makes evident. Congratulations to 73 exceptional firms that have risen to the top this year!

Meanwhile, many firms reach their critical profitability, overhead, cash flow, productivity, business development, staff growth, and turnover goals—by consistently comparing their performance to other firms like them. They have learned to benchmark performance.

Because of top-notch business practices, and benchmarking, top-performers raise the bar—and now you can compare your firm to the best in architecture and engineering!
