All of us in the A/E/C industry have certainly begun to revel in the economic recovery and steady growth in recent years. There are, however, firms that continue to raise the bar on what it means to be successful. 

PSMJ's Circle of Excellence is designed to highlight firms that are successfully managed and demonstrate outstanding achievements in profitability, overhead management, cash flow, productivity, business development, staff growth, and turnover (based on 13 key performance metrics).

The Circle of Excellence represents the top 20% of participants in PSMJ’s annual A/E Financial Performance Benchmark Survey. Sixty-six exceptional firms made it onto the exclusive list this year.

“Year after year, the diversity of these firms continues to prove that success isn’t necessarily defined by the size of a firm, their practice area, geographic location, or even the markets they serve, but instead by a strong commitment to solid business practices,” says Kate Allen, P.E., Director of PSMJ’s A/E/C Industry Surveys. “Our passion may be our practice, but top-notch business practices are critical for sustainability.”

PSMJ Resources, Inc. announces the following firms as members of the 2015 Circle of Excellence:

The firms listed above have agreed to have their names published in association with PSMJ's Circle of Excellence. Firm names are listed in alphabetical order.

“The firms recognized in the Circle of Excellence set the bar for outstanding business results, confirming that success in any economy is possible,” says Allen. “Some firms have been in this prestigious group year after year!”

These 66 firms exemplify both the basic and most innovative best practices in the business, and they will be honored at PSMJ’s upcoming A/E/C Industry Summit. This cutting-edge conference will bring together some of the industry’s top leaders and most successful firms to celebrate the achievement of this year’s Circle of Excellence members and share their experiences.

Certainly, whatever level of success your firm has achieved or aims to achieve this year, there is always something to learn from those who have pushed the envelope in financial performance and business success.  Why not ask them?
