Over the past 10 years, merger and acquisition activity within the industry has grown tremendously. In the past six years alone, approximately 600 firms have been either sold or merged. And with more than 50,000 engineering, architecture, and environmental consulting firms operating in the U.S. today, it's rare to find a firm that hasn't been approached by another company regarding a merger or sale.
