The May 29 issue of ENR California will feature the annual ranking of Top Design Firms. Preliminary analysis shows another big jump in revenue among architects and engineers in California. The 98 participating firms reported a total of $4.87 billion of work in California billed during 2016. That’s up 14% from the $4.27 billion of work reported by firms in 2015. In just three years, revenue has grown by 33%.

New this year, ENR California will include Hawaii design revenue.

Also, one firm from those appearing on the list was selected as ENR California's Design Firm of the Year, based on revenue, innovation, sustainability, community service and other factors. That firm, BKF Engineers, has seen its revenue climb by nearly 60% in two years. The 100+-year-old civil engineer, surveyor and planning firm has worked on numerous iconic projects throughout California, and has been named a ‘Best Place to Work’ numerous times by several publications.

You can read more about BKF’s current projects and thought leadership in the Top Design Firms issue.

Thank you to the firms listed below (in alphabetical order) that participated in this year’s survey. In the May 29 edition, you will find the overall chart with revenue, plus breakout charts which will rank each firm based on specialty—such as civil engineer or architect—as well as market sectors, including health care, commercial, power and transportation.

Please note that we may not have space in the print magazine to rank all 98 firms.
