CDH Ranked among the 2025 Best Managed Architecture and Engineering Firms
We’re proud to announce that CDH Partners has been recognized by PSMJ Resources, Inc. as one of the 2025’s Best Managed Architecture and Engineering Firms. This prestigious recognition places us in the top 20% of firms that participated in PSMJ’s most recent A/E Financial Performance Benchmark Survey. This is the second year that CDH has been honored with this designation.
This award is a testament to our firm’s dedication to excellence in all aspects of our business. The selection process evaluates key performance metrics such as profitability, overhead management, efficiency, business development, growth, and employee turnover. This honor reflects our team’s commitment to strategic and sustainable management, which has been the cornerstone of our success.
“We are incredibly proud to be named to PSMJ’s Circle of Excellence,” said Melissa Cantrell, President & CEO of CDH Partners. “This recognition is a direct reflection of our team’s hard work and dedication to operational excellence. It validates our focus on sustainable growth and our unwavering commitment to our clients. We believe that a well-managed firm is better equipped to deliver exceptional design solutions and create lasting value.”
According to PSMJ President Gregory Hart, firms on the “Best Managed” list (like us) have “cracked the code to extraordinary performance, moving with purpose while others hesitate, executing with precision while others stumble, and daring to innovate while others cling to convention.” We’re honored to be included in this select group of firms that are leading the way in the architecture and engineering industry.
