The Zweig Letter announces Hot Firm 2005 List of fastest-growing
architecture, engineering, and environmental firms
NATICK, MASSACHUSETTS— Management consulting and research firm ZweigWhite has identified the 100 fastest-growing U.S. architecture, engineering, and environmental consulting firms for its annual ranking, The Zweig Letter Hot Firm List. This annual list features the design and environmental firms that have outperformed the economy and competitors to become industry leaders. Wright Engineers, with headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada and additional offices in Irvine, California, and Phoenix, Arizona, earned the number-seventeen spot on the national list. Wright and the other Hot Firms will be recognized at a special reception and dinner hosted by ZweigWhite and Deltek Systems at The Zweig Letter Hot Firm Celebration & Conference, to be held October 26-28, 2005, in Chicago. Mark Zweig, publisher of The Zweig Letter, says, ''The firms that made this year's Hot Firm List should be proud. Committing to growth is the only option for architecture, engineering, planning, and environmental consulting firms that want to sustain themselves over the long term. The hottest firms in the business— those that are sustaining fast growth and consistently outperforming the economy— are the ones that attract talented staff and coveted clients.'' A complete list of the 100 fastest-growing A/E/P and environmental consulting firms is available in the June 27th issue of The Zweig Letter. This list can be accessed for free at http://www.thezweigletter.com. The Zweig Letter Hot Firm Celebration & Conference will include keynote presentations by A/E business leaders and Hot Firm winners, in-depth breakout sessions addressing the issues of foremost concern to all firms that want to stay competitive, and off-site activities to make sure attendees experience the best of Chicago. More information about the sixth annual conference is available at http://events.zweigwhite.com/hotfirm2005. The Zweig Letter Hot Firm 2005 List is based solely on gross revenue for both fiscal year 2001 and fiscal year 2004, as verified by financial statements or income tax returns reviewed by third parties. The list is limited to firms based in the U.S. deriving the majority of their revenue from the practice of architecture, engineering, planning, environmental consulting, or allied disciplines. Design/build firms are also eligible. Only firms that were in business as of January 1, 2001, and had 2001 revenue of $1 million or greater, were eligible. Firms were ranked from first to last based on percentage growth and dollar growth. Dollar growth and percentage growth were weighted equally to give both small and large firms an opportunity to make the list. Each firm's two rankings were added together, and the 100 firms with the lowest combined rankings comprise the list. ZweigWhite is the nation’s leading source of management consulting, information, and education for the design and construction industry.
