Deltek Clarity Architecture and Engineering Industry Study

Deltek has released the 34th edition of the Deltek Clarity Architecture and Engineering Industry Study – a comprehensive report produced in collaboration with the ACEC that provides key metrics on the financial performance of today’s A&E firms and insight into their outlook on the market.

“While A&E firms are still feeling the effects of the economic recession, many signs are positive for the industry. Our latest Clarity A&E report along with other industry indicators, such as the AIA’s Architecture Billings Index, show that opportunities are increasing and firms are growing,” said Claus Thorsgaard, Deltek’s Executive VP and General Manager – Professional Services. “As we unveil the results of our new report, we are providing A&E firms with insight into how the best organizations are performing, and this level of insight will enable A&E firms to make smarter, more strategic decisions that contribute to profitable growth.”

Deltek experts and industry leaders will present the survey results during the 2013 Deltek A&E Growth Tour, held May 14 thru June 11. Companies that can’t join Deltek on the tour can attend a June 18 webinar to hear the results of Deltek’s latest study.
