2018 Top 300 Architecture Firms
HOW TO USE THIS TABLE
Companies are ranked by revenue (in millions of dollars) for architectural services performed in 2017. 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
