Southeast Construction's annual Top Design ranking will be published shortly. But we thought we'd go ahead and provide a sneak preview of the top 25 achitecture and engineering firms.

Like our other "Top" lists, the annual Top Design ranking is based upon the amount of revenue that firms earned during the preceding year from projects located in the four-state region of Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas. (Additional breakout rankings, based upon state location and design category will be published along with the complete ranking later this year.)
