As ENR Southwest’s recently published annual Top Starts ranking showed, 2022 proved to be an especially strong year for construction firms working in the states of Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico. That strength came largely from the industrial/manufacturing, energy and infrastructure markets, but that annual ranking also showed a diversity of project types driving work for Southwest contractors and design firms alike.
This year’s Southwest Top Design Firms ranking reveals the degree to which the region’s architectural and engineering firms took advantage of these rising markets during 2022, with numerous survey participants reporting significant year-over-year increases in revenue from the three-state area.
