For the 4th consecutive year McKinley Architecture and Engineering has been named to the 2025 Circle of Excellence: The AEC Industry’s Best Managed Firms by PSMJ Resources, Inc., the world’s leading authority on architecture, engineering, and construction firm management.

PSMJ’s exclusive Circle of Excellence highlights successfully managed firms that demonstrate outstanding business achievements in areas such as profitability, overhead management, cash flow, productivity, business development, staff growth, and turnover in the architecture and engineering industry. The Circle of Excellence represents the top 20 percent of firms across the nation.

By demonstrating both exceptional and sustained financial performance by winning PSMJ’s AEC Circle of Excellence award four out of the past five years, we are in the exclusive group of Platinum Members!

“These Platinum award winners represent the gold standard of financial excellence in our industry,” said Greg Hart, President of PSMJ Resources. “Achieving this level of sustained performance over five years requires not just strong leadership and strategic vision, but also disciplined execution and a commitment to continuous improvement. These firms have proven they can maintain superior financial performance through various market cycles and economic conditions, making them true leaders in our field.”

For the 3rd year in a row, PSMJ also announced McKinley Architecture and Engineering is a top ten winner of the 2025 A/E/C Employer of Choice Award, the industry’s premier recognition of firms that have mastered workforce retention and productivity by achieving the highest level of employee engagement.

“Dialing in the employee experience is what separates AEC firms landing and keeping the hottest talent from those struggling to put the right people in the right seats,“ says PSMJ President Gregory Hart. “This award recognizes those that have proven their commitment to creating a winning culture that delivers lasting results for employees, owners, and clients by creating a place where talented professionals can really thrive.”

In addition, Inc. magazine recently revealed that McKinley Architecture and Engineering is on its annual Inc. 5000 list for the 6th year in a row, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

The list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses.

“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”

Finally, to round out our awards, for the 3rd consecutive year, McKinley Architecture and Engineering was ranked in the Giants 400 list by Building Design and Construction as one of the top 100 Architecture and Engineering firms in 2025.

The report ranks the nation’s largest AEC firms based on gross revenue across 25 building sectors and specialty categories and six AEC disciplines.
