HOW ARE THE RANKINGS DETERMINED?
Rankings are based on a survey of industry firms conducted by ZweigWhite, the publisher of The Zweig Letter, and the nation's leader in enhancing business performance for architecture, engineering, and environmental consulting firms.
Firms are ranked according to their three-year growth rate in gross revenue, with 50% of the ranking based on percentage growth and 50% based on dollar growth. Only firms that were in business for the entirety of this three-year period and that were still in business as of January 1 of the award year are eligible.
The firm�s annual revenue must be greater than or equal to $1,000,000. After the initial ranking, the leading contenders are contacted for financial statements or income tax returns to validate the results of the ranking. Verification of revenue figures is required to qualify for the final ranking.
