How do the fastest architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms achieve outstanding marketing and business development performance? Hinge’s new 2026 High Growth Study report on the AEC industry has answers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the inception of this study over a decade ago, we have tracked the AEC industry through digital revolutions, global pandemics, and economic turbulence. Today, the landscape has shifted once again. Following a brief post-pandemic boom, the industry is undergoing a significant recalibration. The median growth rate for AEC firms has fallen for the second consecutive time to 10.5%\u2014the lowest in eight years.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are pleased to announce the release of the 2026 High Growth Study\u2014Architecture, Engineering & Construction Edition<\/a>. This year we surveyed 110 AEC firms, representing $42.7 billion in revenue and almost 70,000 employees. The sample included a mix of firms of all sizes.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Below, we explore five key findings from this year\u2019s study.<\/p>\n

Five Characteristics of High-Growth AEC Firms<\/h2>\n

1. They Grow 4.6X Faster and Are More Profitable<\/h4>\n

We define high-growth firms as those with a minimum 20% compound annual growth rate over a three-year evaluation period. This year, high-growth firms grew an impressive 40.7%\u20144.6 times faster than the average-growth group, which had a median growth rate of 8.9%. They were highly profitable, too. With a profitability of 37.2%, they were 62% more profitable than the average group and 266% more than firms with zero or negative growth. In fact, profitability was healthy across all three growth categories.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

How does the high-growth group achieve outstanding performance year after year? The next four charts provide a few answers.<\/p>\n

2. High-Growth Firms Invest a Lot More in Marketing<\/h4>\n

High-growth AEC firms\u2019 marketing budgets are twice the size of their slower-growing peers. The median budget for high-growth firms, expressed as a percentage of overall revenue, was 10%, compared to just 5% for the rest of the industry.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

Of course, high-growth firms aren\u2019t just spending more, they are spending smarter. But where are they investing those dollars? We can\u2019t go into all the places in this post, but the next chart provides an entry point.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. They Know What Marketing Techniques Are Effective<\/h4>\n

What marketing techniques do the top-performing AEC companies use most often? In this age of the internet and AI, AEC organizations largely favor techniques that either employ their interpersonal skills or help build their reputations.<\/span><\/p>\n

The figure below lists the top six. Networking at events has emerged as the most widely used technique, employed by 7 out of 10 high-growth firms. This provides the advantage of meeting prospective clients face to face, making it easier to establish trust and create personal relationships. This is followed by business development materials. High-quality pitch decks, proposals, brochures and similar materials can make the process of closing new business easier and faster because they present your firm in the best possible light.<\/span><\/p>\n

Networking on social media, in the third spot, is a common and convenient way to build new connections and create interest in your services\u2014anywhere and anytime. Think of it as the online counterpart of live networking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sponsoring a conference or event can build awareness of your brand over time. And public speakers, who we call Visible Experts\u00ae<\/a>, can be a real asset to a firm\u2019s business development program, often streamlining new client acquisition and commanding premium fees. Another way AEC professionals build their professional reputations is to write original thought leadership and promote it on social media.<\/span><\/p>\n\"\"\n

4. They Prioritize Social Media, Technology and Thought Leadership<\/h4>\n

Like any firm, the high-growth companies in our study have limited resources and must choose where to put their time and energy in the year ahead. The chart below lists these firms\u2019 top three marketing priorities for 2026.<\/p>\n

This year, social media marketing has jumped to the top of the list. AEC companies often use a variety of social media platforms, but one dominates. LinkedIn is used by 9 out of 10 firms. If you could use only one, the choice would be easy.<\/p>\n

In a tie for second place are \u201cmarketing technology, AI and automation\u201d and \u201cdeveloping thought leaders.\u201d The rapid advances in AI have forced even reluctant firms to take this technology seriously. Our only surprise was that only a quarter of respondents listed it. Developing thought leaders is entirely consistent with high-growth firms\u2019 interest in building interpersonal relationships and polishing their reputations (see #3 above).<\/p>\n\"\"\n

5. 3 Out of 4 High Growth Firms Do Research<\/h4>\n

In a tie for second place are \u201cmarketing technology, AI and automation\u201d and \u201cdeveloping thought leaders.\u201d The rapid advances in AI have forced even reluctant firms to take this technology seriously. Our only surprise was that only a quarter of respondents listed it. Developing thought leaders is entirely consistent with high-growth firms\u2019 interest in building interpersonal relationships and polishing their reputations (see #3 above).<\/p>\n

This year, increased competition is the number 2 challenge across the industry (after market uncertainty). Pricing research helps top performers determine if they are charging too little or too much for their services, equipping them to be as competitive as possible while protecting their margins.<\/p>\n

Client satisfaction research is the third most common type of intelligence gathering used by high-growth companies. It is a useful tool to gauge not only how well you are delivering your services, but how likely clients are to come back and refer you. This kind of research is usually simple to conduct and requires a minimal time commitment from the client.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

Dive Deeper into the Habits of High-Growth AEC Firms<\/h2>\n

We hope this data helps you make better marketing and business development decisions. High Growth AEC firms can be a model for firms like yours. These organizations have learned what works and what is a waste of time even in unpredictable times.<\/p>\n

How can you use these findings? Compare what high-growth firms do to your own marketing program. Are your priorities in line with theirs? What adjustments do you need to make? High growth and high profitability are within reach\u2014if you are equipped with the right information. This study can be a valuable source of reliable intelligence.<\/p>\n
