NEWTON, Mass.‐‐PSMJ Resources, Inc., the premier management consulting firm for the architecture,
engineering, and construction industries, is thrilled to announce this year’s members of the 2013 Circle
of Excellence. Congratulations to 54 exceptional firms that have risen to the top this year!
PSMJ’s exclusive Circle of Excellence is designed to highlight firms that are successfully managed, based
on 13 key performance metrics that demonstrate outstanding achievements in profitability, overhead,
cash flow, productivity, business development, staff growth, and turnover. The Circle of Excellence
represents the top 20% of participants in PSMJ’s annual A/E Financial Performance Benchmark Survey.

practice area, geographic location, or even the markets they serve, but instead by a strong commitment
to solid business practices,” says Kate Allen, P.E., Director of PSMJ’s A/E/C Industry Surveys. “Our
passion may be our practice, but in today’s economy top‐notch business practices are critical for
sustainability.”
