❚ ❚ Mergers and acquisitions among Hot Firms matched what we saw last year with 40 percent responding that they had been involved in at least one transaction over the last three years. For firms in the top 10, M&A seems to be an even larger part of their growth strategy with eight out of 10 being involved in a transaction. M&A con- tinues to be a popular choice in this tight market. Best Firms To Work For and Hot Firms continue to distinguish themselves in a highly competitive industry by taking care of their employees and striving for tremendous growth. Their data helps us gain insight into the industry, but we also enjoy celebrating all that these firms do to Elevate the Industry! We look forward to highlighting them at the Elevate AEC Conference in Las Vegas on October 2-4. KYLE AHERN is awards manager at Zweig Group. Contact him at kahern@zweiggroup.com.
