RPA Honored By PSMJ Resources, Inc.

PSMJ Resources, Inc. announced the members of the 2025 AEC Circle of Excellence: The AEC Industry’s Best Managed Firms™. RPA is honored to be one of sixty-five exceptional architecture and engineering firms to make it onto the exclusive list this year! This is the 11th time since 2011 that RPA has been selected to the Circle of Excellence.

PSMJ designed the AEC Circle of Excellence Award to recognize firms that demonstrate outstanding achievements in areas such as profitability, overhead management, efficiency, business development, growth, and turnover. The 2025 AEC Circle of Excellence: The AEC Industry’s Best Managed Firms™ list represents the top 20 percent of participants in PSMJ’s most recent A/E Financial Performance Benchmark Survey, based on 9 key performance metrics.

While some may chase vanity metrics like rapid growth or sheer size, the firms on our Best Managed list have mastered what truly matters—the fundamentals that separate sustainable high performance from short-sighted or superficial growth,” says PSMJ President Gregory Hart. “These award-winning firms don’t just excel; they redefine excellence in financial and operational management. They’ve 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.”

RPA is a 100 percent employee-owned civil engineering, planning, and land surveying firm. With over 70 employees, RPA is headquartered in Helena, Montana with offices in Kalispell, Bozeman and Anaconda, Montana.
