Leaders Of The Pack

摘要

Engineers and engineer/architects as a group fared better than other Building Team disciplines last year, according to Building Design & Construction's 2003 survey of the top 300 firms. While billings of architect/engineer firms fell an average 11.8%, average revenues of engineering firms increased by almost 30%, with billings of $50.4 million. Revenues of the average E/A firm climbed 44%, to $72.2 million in billings. The gains were not universal, however. In each category, the number of firms reporting increases was about the same as the number that recorded declines. For firms that posted significant increases, the common theme was a reliance on government work or healthcare projects.
