HOUSTON (June 7, 2018) – Continued strength in the Power and Oil and Gas sectors allowed Burns & McDonnell to maintain its No. 1 position on the Engineering News Record (ENR) ranking of Top Design firms in a region encompassing Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. Burns & McDonnell reported $501.8 million in project revenue for 2017, the time period for compiling the 2018 rankings of engineering design firms. The results were approximately equal to the prior year, when Burns & McDonnell also earned the No. 1 ranking for the ENR-Texas region.

“There are a lot of great firms in our region so it’s always gratifying to see our success recognized,” says Leslie Duke, Burns & McDonnell president and general manager of the Houston regional office. “Our formula is the same as it’s always been – to focus on client service and offer a full range of project delivery models providing risk-sharing, cost certainty and schedule control.

Since opening its doors in 1994, the Houston office has grown to become Burns & McDonnell’s largest, outside of the firm’s headquarters office in Kansas City. Burns & McDonnell is on track toward adding 1,000 employees in 2018, with many of them located in one of Burns & McDonnell’s six Texas locations.
