CESO Continues to Rise in Industry Rankings

CESO, a leader in architecture and engineering services, has continued a growth and market presence expansion pattern, moving up in both Engineering News-Record (ENR) and VMSD’s annual industry rankings. The organization jumped from 404 (2020) to 299 (2021) on ENR's Top 500 Design Firms, moved from 15 (2020) to 6 (2021) on the VMSD Retail Design Firm Resource Guide, and rose from 252 (2020) to 142 (2021) on Architectural Record's Top 300 List. This rise in rankings is directly related to the dedication demonstrated by each team member, from the cultivation of business development efforts through the successful completion of projects.

“This year’s ENR and VMSD rankings demonstrate how our strategic vision for the business continues to position CESO for success,” said Steven Olson, President. “We remain committed to providing expertise, innovation, and exceptional service to our clients and the communities we serve.”

ENR is a weekly magazine that provides news, analysis, data, and opinion for the construction industry. It is regarded as one of the construction industry's most authoritative publications. Each year, it compiles a list of the top design firms across the country. The Top 500 Design Firms list ranks the largest U.S.-based designs firms, both publicly and privately held, based on design-specific revenue.

VMSD is considered one of the retail industry’s most comprehensive listings of design firms from around the globe. Information for the rankings is based on submitted design fees from retail projects completed projects in 2020.

Architectural Record is a monthly publication dedicated to architecture and interior design. Their yearly Top 300 lists are ranked by revenue for architectural services performed.
