230+ AEC firms report record Growth and Profitability in 2019, but Clouds on the Horizon for 2020

NEW YORK, Oct. 25, 2019 — (PRNewswire) — According to AEC Advisors' 2019 Confidential KPI Survey results, which included participation from 230+ Architecture, Engineering, and Consulting ("AEC") firms with a combined ~$130 billion in global revenues, CEOs reported record 2019 organic growth of 8.7% and record 2019 estimated profitability1 of 14.6% (medians).  However, while 2020 profitability is expected to increase to 15.0%, growth is projected to be 7.2%, slightly lower than 2019, signaling some skepticism in the market, since CEOs usually are overly optimistic in projections.  Results vary depending on size of company, service, end-market, and client type, but AEC Advisors argues that good leadership, business management, and firm culture have the most meaningful impact differentiating high performing versus low performing firms.
