DWSA named to The Zweig Letter Hot Firm 2004 List!

 

DSWA has been ranked #53 on the Zweig Letter Hot Firm 2004 List of the 100 fastest growing A/E/P and environmental consulting firms in the country. We were bestowed this honor due to our dynamic growth over the last three years. Our company revenues grew 136% between 2000 and 2003. With a staff size nearing 60, we continue to look for bright, talented professionals to join our team!

Below is a description of how they determine the top 100 companies...

How did the 100 firms profiled in this issue get named to The Zweig Letter Hot Firm 2004 List? Not only did they survive economic instabilities over the past few years, but they grew in the process— some doubling, or even tripling, their gross revenue from 2000 to 2003.

This year is the fifth in a row that The Zweig Letter has ranked the fastest-growing architecture, engineering, and environmental consulting firms. As with previous years, we began the procedure for the list in early March with a nationwide call for industry firms to complete a short entry form with questions about their firm type, size, and 2000 and 2003 gross revenues. Firm leaders from all types and sizes of companies shared this information with us. We received submissions from firms exhibiting growth over the past three years, then verified their revenue figures using financial statements or income tax returns reviewed by third parties.

We created The Zweig Letter Hot Firm 2004 List to identify the fastest-growing A/E/P and environmental firms in the United States from 2000 to 2003. As with past years, this year proved to be another extremely competitive one, with hundreds of firms competing for the top 100 spots.

Since we first created the Hot Firm List in 2000, we’ve taken special effort to make sure we recognize both small firms and large firms for their success. A $5 million firm may have an easier time doubling in size than a $5 billion firm, while at the same time growing by an additional $1 billion is a more feasible goal for the large firm than the small firm. To alleviate this problem, we weighted firms’ dollar growth and percentage growth equally to give both small firms and large firms an opportunity to make the list. Each firm was assigned a dollar ranking and a percentage ranking, then we combined the two numbers for a total score. The 100 firms with the best combined scores are the winners on The Zweig Letter Hot Firm 2004 List.
