Best Firm and Hot Firm announced! The Zweig Group 2016 Hot Firm and A/E Industry Awards Conference on Sept. 22-23 at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix will celebrate growth and success. A N N O U N C E M E N T

T he Best Firms To Work for Awards honor the creation of outstanding workplaces in architec- ture, civil, environmental, multidiscipline, survey- ing, and structural engineering firms. These firms have been recognized for their ability to inspire their teams to perform at the highest levels and create an environment where their people feel val- ued, can make a difference, and can clearly see their contribution to the overall mission and success of the firm. Firms that applied for this prestigious ranking were evaluated comprehensively on company cul- ture, workplace practices, employee benefits, em- ployee retention rates, professional development, and more – both from the management and staff’s perspectives. Scores were based on a corporate sur- vey given to firm leaders and an anonymous em- ployee survey given to employees. Firms who met a minimum score were ranked according to the cat- egories they entered. “We love to see the promotion of this achievement, it gives firms credibility in everything from recruit- ing talent to getting new projects,” says Christina Zweig, marketing director at Zweig Group. “The employee survey results and benchmarking reports given to all award entrants are a big added perk of participating in this awards process.” Many firms improved their position on the list, and a number of first time participants also won awards. Choice One (Sidney, OH) took home first in Civil Engineering for the second year in a row, Garver (North Little Rock, AR) took home first place in Multidiscipline, TowerPinkster (Grand Rapids, MI) was first in Architecture, Capaccio En- vironmental Engineering (Marlborough, MA) was

first in Environmental, Structural Focus (Garde- na, CA) was first in Structural, and Jones|Carter (Houston, TX) was first in Surveying. Zweig Group’s Hot Firm List honors the top 100 firms that have achieved outstanding growth in the A/E/P and environmental consulting indus- try. Placement on the Hot Firm List is based 50-50 on percentage revenue growth and dollar revenue growth over a three-year period compared to the other entrants. GATE, Inc. (Houston, TX) was the number one Hot Firm for the second year in a row. “Being on our Hot Firm List is harder than ever and even more of an accomplishment, as the over- all A/E industry is hotter than I have seen it in over 36 years,” says Mark Zweig, founder and CEO of Zweig Group. “Firms on the list should be proud of their accomplishment. They are building value, cre- ating good jobs, and truly making our world a bet- ter place.” Twenty-nine firms made it on both the 2016 Hot Firm list and the 2016 Best Firms To Work For list. All of Zweig Group’s award-winning firms will be honored at a black tie banquet at the 2016 Hot Firm and A/E Industry Awards Conference at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix on September 22-23. Anyone who wants to learn about success in the A/E/P and environmental industry is welcome to attend the conference, which has extensive net- working opportunities as well as an inspiring agen- da filled with speakers and breakout sessions on topics such as leadership, new technology, recruit- ing, workplace culture, and marketing methods.
