Companies are ranked by revenue (in millions of dollars) for architectural services performed in 2009. These data also appear in Engineering News-Record’s Top 500 Design Firms list, which, unlike our ranking, also includes firms that do engineering exclusively.
To participate in next year’s survey, contact Gary Tulacz at tulaczg@bnpmedia.com.
Key to how firms classify themselves:
A = Architect
AE = Architect-Engineer
AP = Architect Planner
EAL = Engineer Architect Landscape
