We’re delighted to share that Rowland+Broughton has been awarded the 2025 AEC Circle of Excellence Platinum Award by PSMJ Resources. This distinction is reserved for firms that have demonstrated exceptional and sustained financial performance, and we are proud to stand alongside 26 other accomplished organizations recognized for their leadership and operational excellence.
The Platinum award is the peak of achievement in AEC firm financial management, honoring organizations with a proven track record of outperforming industry benchmarks year over year. Recipients are selected through rigorous analysis of critical metrics—including profitability, utilization rates, overhead management, and operational efficiency—as tracked in PSMJ’s annual A/E Financial Performance Benchmark Survey Report.
“This award is a testament to the discipline and dedication of our entire team. From the start, we believed that excellence in design must be matched by excellence in stewardship of projects, people, and process. Sustained financial performance isn’t just an outcome; it’s the result of every person at R+B holding themselves to the highest standard, every day, on every project.”
— John Rowland, Principal and Co-Founder
Our inclusion in the 2025 Platinum Circle of Excellence is a testament to the quiet discipline, transparency, and collaborative leadership that define our work. At R+B, we believe that true excellence in architecture is not only measured by the spaces we create, but by the consistency, integrity, and stewardship we bring to every partnership. This recognition validates the efforts of our entire team—and our clients—who inspire us to set the standard for design authenticity, service, and operational mastery.
As Greg Hart, President of PSMJ Resources, emphasized, achieving this level of sustained performance “requires not just strong leadership and strategic vision, but also disciplined execution and a commitment to continuous improvement.” We’re honored to be named among the nation’s most resilient and high-performing design organizations.
