The Strong Frame ordinary moment frame provides high lateral-force resistance
for limited wall space, large openings and soft-story retrot applications. And since
its pre-engineered and fabricated, designers can choose the exact frame size in
seconds with columns from 8 feet to 35 feet tall and beams from 6 feet to 24 feet
wide, as well as two-story solutions. The Strong Frame moment frame is the only
frame thats bolted together, eliminating on-site welding. It also installs in less than
an hour and can be delivered to jobsites in just a few days.
For steel and wood construction, the Strong Frame moment
frame is the time-saving choice. Learn more and view a copy of
the Strong Frame Ordinary Moment Frame catalog by visiting

THE DATA
Data for our Giants 300 charts is based
on information supplied by the respective rms. This year, we asked rms to
verify the accuracy of their data.
Also new this year: separate charts
for the top Architecture and Engineering
rms, rather than lumping them together
as design rms.
The Contractors chart (page 34) lists
rms by their revenue for general contracting, design-build, CM at risk, and
IPDprojects where all revenues ow
through the contractor.
The CM Agent and PM chart (page
36) lists rms that derive their revenues
through fees.
Please note: In subsequent charts
for BIM, Government, Multifamily, etc.,
only data for Contractors (GC/DB/CM
at risk/IPD) is presented in the issue.
Rankings of the leading CM Agent
and PM rms in these categories can be
found on our website, with other more
detailed charts at: www.BDCnetwork.

HEAVY CONCENTRATION
AT THE TOP 10 FIRMS
As is true of most of the categories in our
Giants 300 rankings, there is a great deal
of concentration at the highest level in the
E and EA markets. The top 10 engineering
rms generated 47% of total revenue for
the category, while the top 10 engineering/
architecture Giants generated a hefty 85%
of the dollars in their group. +

CONSTRUCTION GIANTS
Giants 300 construction rms are reporting that predominantly private institutional
sectors, notably healthcare, are still seeing
activity. The intensity for jobs is great, as
construction activity declines in state and
local government work, notes Dale Connor, Managing Director, Project Management and Construction (Americas) with
Lend Lease. Capital availability remains
tight but is improving, and markets like
healthcare and life sciences remain active.

INCREASING EFFICIENCIES
Contractors and CM rms are reporting positive benets from the use of BIM and lean
building practices. At Barton Malow, use of
the integrated project delivery model continues to expand in an effort to improve project
performance. Our use of BIM and lean construction principles and our corporate culture
of collaboration have made IPD a natural
extension of our services, says Senior Vice
President Alex Ivanikiw, AIA, LEED AP.
Ivanikiw says that his rm has been
testing technologies for practical job site
applications at its new Envisioning Center,
in Southeld, Mich. The Envisioning Center
is connected to a full-scale gang box in our
atrium, simulating how the use of technologies would apply on the job site and
how these technologieshardware and
softwareneed to be adapted for use in
the eld, says Ivanikiw.
Turner says it is also focused on improving construction efciencies. With the
adoption and development of BIM tools and
processes, and with widespread implementation of lean construction practices
and IPD methods, Turner is performing the
same work it has always performed faster
and more efciently, says Makes.
While construction volume is expected
to pick up modestly in the coming year,
The cost of buildings still lags normal
labor and material ination cost indices,
notes the Gilbane report. It should continue to do so for some time to come, but
the gap is narrowing. +

work on BIM through higher-end processors and central servers, says President
Mark Hebden, AIA, LEED AP.
EYP Architecture & Engineering adopted
BIM in 2006, and it has become a core
competency. One unexpected benet: BIM
integration has created more opportunities
for younger tech-savvy staff to collaborate
with senior technical team members, says
John Pocorobba, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP,
Chief Operations Ofcer.
It becomes apparent which market sectors are embracing BIM, said Greg Lyon,
Vice President and Director of Business
Development at Nadel Architects, whose
HKSs Virtual Theater, housed in its Dallas ofce, is equipped with HP workstation computers that
are loaded with the latest BIM design software, such as Revit and Navisworks. The Virtual Theater
allows for more efcient team collaboration on a shared BIM model to ensure quality assurance and
clash detection, says Ralph Hawkins, FAIA, LEED AP, the rms Chair and CEO.

constantly attuned to client needs. Reynolds Smith & Hills has been designing and
maintaining facilities for NASA for 50 years.
Recently, the rm replaced almost 10,000
square feet of windows in the Launch Control Center at the Kennedy Space Center,
a highly sensitive project. NASA is a wonderful client, always looking for innovative
solutions, but you have to create a low-risk
environment for them, says RS&H Vice
President Richard Hammett, AIA, LEED AP.
Public-private partnerships are starting to catch on at the state and local
level, says Webcor Builders Vetrone.
Were talking to some of the cities we work
for in California which have major public
projects with no funding, looking at how P3
could make those a reality, he says. A recently awarded P3 for a courthouse in Long
Beach has attracted a lot of interest from
the local AEC community, he says.
Manhattan Constructions Thompson says
privatization seems to be gaining traction
with some federal clients. His rm is serving
as contracting partner in such a developer
leaseback scheme for a VA clinic in Grand
Rapids, Mich., with U.S. Federal Properties.

been affected by their reliance on superlow bidders. The trend is back to technical
qualications plus low price, but at least its
not just low price, he says.
Vetrone says Webcor Builders is being
pretty selective as to which government
projects it bids on. Were looking for clients
who want to hire on a best-value basis,
whether design-build or CM at risk, where
your qualications, technical competence,
and people count as much as your price,
he says.
More commissioning of government
and military buildings could also be a
godsend for AEC rms. Weve done
enhanced commissioning for the Air Force,
and were nding that the buildings have
a marked increase in performance, says
RS&Hs Hammett. If anything was a nobrainer, commissioning would be it.
Portfolio optimization is becoming much
more important to governments at all levels,
as they seek to reduce overhead while
improving employee productivity. Theyre
looking for a trifectaasset preservation,
sustainability, and innovative workplace solutions, says Becky Greco, Principal, HGA
Architects and Engineers. Public-sector clients want to emulate the corporate model of
better, faster, more cost-efcient, she says.
Reynolds Smith & Hills replaced 9,960 sf of windows at the Kennedy Space Centers Launch Control
Center. The rm, which has been performing work for NASA for more than 50 years, also completed
a cladding project and interior renovations at KSCs Vehicle Assembly Building. RS&H is also building a net-zero energy school at Fort Knox and is taking part in a net-zero waste effort with the DoD.

SOY-BASED ADHESIVES
Soy delivers lower costs, lower VOCs and higher profits
to the wood products industry.
THE PRODUCTS
RELATIVE ECONOMICS/SUPPLIES
EMERGING MARKETS
There appear to be emerging new markets for soy in heat-resistant
adhesives, biobased composites and enzymatic processing for new
soy hydrolyzates. Soy adhesives do perform very well in high-heat
testing of structural engineered wood products like finger joints and
I beams. These adhesives have been shown to have superior
heat resistance, prolonging the structural integrity of the wood
structure in a fire.
Soy proteins are being developed as a binder to provide a renewable,
plant-fibers-composite particleboard and medium density fiberboard.
These composites could be a cost-competitive, formaldehyde-free
solution to traditional wood composite particleboard and medium
density fiberboard.

2. INTEGRATING MEDICAL
SYSTEMS MORE TIGHTLY
Tobey says the need for greater efciency
and ever-higher quality of care are not new
goals for medical care or medical design,
but hospital systems are being encouraged
further by healthcare reform to streamline
processes, with more mergers, acquisitions, and hospital-physician staff integrations on the horizon. The industrys even
been talking about including services like
long-term care and home care into this integrated approach, he says.
Although there will always be a need for
acute-care hospitals, Tobey sees a possible shift toward more community-based
portals. As health systems continue to integrate, they will rely more and more on treatment venues outside the hospital to provide

3. UNBUNDLING/BUNDLING
OF HEALTHCARE SERVICES
Healthcare providers are decanting
non-core functionsservices like pharmacy, lab support, materials handling, and
environmental managementfrom the
mother ship into cheaper B-occupancy
buildings. Anything soft, anything thats
not high-tech, is being taken out, says
Tobey. Thats the unbundling.
However, once the unbundling of less-intense services has been accomplished, says
Tobey, some hospital systems are opting
to bundle the remaining hospital space, by
placing beds back on top of the structures
base diagnostic and support block, instead
of having the traditional diagnostic/support
chassis with attached nursing wings.
You unbundle and decant the support
services, then take the remaining highintensity hospital base and put the beds

COURTESY SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC
Worldwide data center hardware spending will total $106.4 billion this year, up
from $98.9 billion in 2011, and surpass $126.2 billion in 2015, according to Gartner Inc. The largest data centers (those with more than 500 racks of equipment)
will increase their share of spending from 20% in 2010 to 26% in 2015, driven by
the cloud and the shift from internal data center provision to external provision.

At the George P. Mitchell 40 Physics Building on the Texas A&M University campus, in Corpus Christi, rubber ooring solutions from nora
systems allow maintenance staff to quickly access the space under
the oors when necessary. Designed specically for raised-access
ooring, norament ingresso uses four tabs to adhere the ooring
tile to the raised-access panel, making it easy to remove the oor
tile and reinstall it while providing convenient access to the panels
underneath. The ooring also delivers sound absorption, durability,
and low-maintenance features throughout the building, which experiences heavy foot trafc.
