2012 Top 250 Architecture Firms

HOW TO USE THIS TABLE

Companies are ranked by revenue (in millions of dollars) for architectural services performed in 2011. 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
AEC = Architect-Engineer-Contractor
(not all combinations listed)
