Zweig Group, the leading provider of management consulting, research, and education for the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, has introduced a new milestone in its 2025 Best Firms To Work For rankings: the Legacy Award. This lifetime designation honors AEC firms that have placed in the top three of any category for 10 consecutive years. The inaugural recipients – Bowers + Kubota and Garver – have consistently demonstrated what it means to be a truly exceptional workplace.
“With employee sentiment being a major driver of recruiting and retention performance, recognizing firms with an extraordinary and long-term commitment to cultural excellence is important in a program as impactful as Best Firms To Work For,” said Chad Clinehens, president and CEO of Zweig Group. “Placing in the top three for a decade is an incredible milestone and we want to acknowledge that accomplishment. Showcasing this level of long-term performance is inspiring and motivating for other firms and leaders of AEC firms.”
This new award marks an evolution in Zweig Group’s effort to spotlight sustained excellence. By recognizing firms that have achieved a decade of top-tier performance, the Legacy Award sets a high bar for cultural leadership and consistency in an increasingly competitive industry.
Winners will be honored at a black-tie gala during Zweig Group’s 2025 ElevateAEC Conference in San Antonio, Texas, September 9-11, 2025. Learn more or register here.
