PSMJ Resources, Inc., the world’s leading authority on architecture and engineering, and construction firm management, announces the members of the 2025 Circle of Excellence: The AEC Industry’s Best Managed Firms™. Fifty-nine exceptional architecture and engineering firms made it onto the exclusive list this year.

PSMJ designed the Circle of Excellence Award to recognize firms that demonstrate outstanding achievements in areas such as profitability, overhead management, cash flow, productivity, business development, staff growth, and turnover. The 2025 Circle of Excellence: The AEC Industry’s Best Managed Firms™ list represents the top 20 percent of participants in PSMJ’s most recent A/E Financial Performance Benchmark Survey, based on 9 key performance metrics.

"While some may chase vanity metrics like rapid growth or sheer size, the firms on our Best Managed list have mastered what truly matters—the fundamentals that separate sustainable high performance from short-sighted or superficial growth,” says PSMJ President Gregory Hart. “These award-winning firms don't just excel; they redefine excellence in financial and operational management. They've cracked the code to extraordinary performance, moving with purpose while others hesitate, executing with precision while others stumble, and daring to innovate while others cling to convention."
