PSMJ Resources, Inc., recognized as the foremost authority in architecture, engineering, and construction firm management, has announced the members of its 2025 AEC Circle of Excellence: The Best Managed Firms in the AEC Industry™. This year, sixty-five outstanding architecture and engineering firms have made it to this prestigious list.

The AEC Circle of Excellence Award aims to spotlight firms that show exceptional performance in key areas such as profitability, overhead management, efficiency, business development, growth, and employee retention. The 2025 Circle of Excellence comprises the top 20 percent of firms participating in PSMJ’s recent A/E Financial Performance Benchmark Survey, assessed across nine critical 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,” states 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.”
