LAN Named to Zweig Group's 2026 Hot Firm List

Zweig Group has released its annual Hot Firms list, and LAN is proud to be among the honored. The list recognizes the 100 fastest-growing architecture, engineering, environmental, planning, construction, and related professional services (AEC) firms in the United States and Canada. Zweig Group is an industry leader and authority in AEC firm management and a recognized source of trade data and research. Each year, they rank the industry’s Hot Firms based on three-year growth in gross revenue by both percentage and dollar growth.   

"The firms recognized through the Hot Firm Award have demonstrated what is possible when strong leadership, strategic decision-making, and a commitment to excellence come together," said Chad Clinehens, president and CEO of Zweig Group. "These firms are not only growing, they are helping shape the future of the AEC industry. We are proud to recognize their accomplishments."

Over the past three years, LAN has experienced significant growth driven by several key factors, including multiple large-scale school projects and bond referenda, the expansion of our services into Landscape Architecture, and sustained demand across multiple markets and offices. This growth reflects our ongoing commitment to serving our clients and communities with the expertise, capacity, and responsiveness they deserve.
