Companies in the Texas and Southern Region -East Enr generally began by 2025 in a strong position, based on the income reported last year, even when market uncertainties are linked to possible impacts of rate and inflation.
The annual classification results of the most important design companies seem different this year with the consolidation of the old regions of South -Est and Texas and Louisiana. The ENR evaluated the data based on previous results to show market trends and in which states the income is higher, or decreasing.
Texas strong
Design companies that respond to the newly combined regions report a total of $ 21.6 billion in revenue for 2024, up to $ 19.74 billion in 2023, 9.4%. The collective force can be accredited in the ancient region of Texas and Louisiana, which includes Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas.

Constant to the south
“In Texas, the continued investment in data centers, petrochemicals and modernization of the network will continue to be strong.”
—Len XI, Executive Vice President, Burns & McDonnell
In the meantime, revenue was essentially flat in the ancient South region -East, which includes Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Puerto Rico. Last year, design companies in this region reached $ 10.97 billion, compared to $ 11 billion by 2023.
The 10 best companies, however, came out much better, combining revenue of $ 4.76 billion last year, up to $ 3.47 billion by 2023. The overall decrease in revenue in the ancient South Region -it can be largely attributed to Alabama activity. The total state for the classified companies dropped to $ 665.84 million last year, from $ 1.7 billion by 2023.
However, in 2023 it was an earlier, as revenue almost quadrupled that year from $ 466 million in 2022. Puerto Rico also decreased revenue combined last year, from $ 87.69 million by $ 2023 to $ 58.52 million in 2024. All other states in the region recorded increases, and Georgia increased to $ 1.86 billion, from $ 1.86 billion. of $ 1.55 million by 2023; North Carolina at $ 2.23 million, up to $ 2.1 billion; South Carolina increases to $ 908.95 million, from $ 773.6 million; and Tennessee at $ 832.13 million, up to $ 645.8 million.
Aviation, data center opportunities
Corgan, classified in number 19, continues to take advantage of his experience in data and data centers to work in the region. Lindsay Wilson, president of the firm and leader in the interior sector, still sees the demand for aviation in aviation from 2020. Corgan now designs the new 900,000 square meter terminal of San Antonio Airport, with Lake | Flato Architectts that will end in 2028. In the data center market, Wilson considers an unprecedented data demand with the rise of the AI. “We have the largest team of architects [nationally] This specializes in data centers, so we are well positioned to support these projects, “he adds.
Burns & McDonnell, which is number 4 on the most important design list list of this year, also experienced sustained growth in the data center market last year, along with advanced manufacturing profits; oil, gas and chemicals; Generation of energy, transmission and distribution distribution; Environmental services; and water infrastructure
“States such as Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Georgia and Carolinas continued to attract significant investments in hypera -escaping centers, industrial manufacturing and logistics infrastructure,” says Allen XI, an executive vice president in his southern region.
Burns & McDonnell also has ongoing work with Utity Santee Cooper in South Carolina, who says that “illustrates the stairs and urgency of the development of transmission throughout the south -East”. At Orlando International Airport, he is the design design contractor for a maintenance repair revision review complex. “We are also seeing a strong boost in the aerospace sector, especially on the huston and Florida space coast,” he adds. “These regions are becoming nuclei for innovation and flight investment, space systems and next generation manufacture linked to both commercial and defense sectors.”
XI hopes that continuous infrastructure and manufacturing growth in the south. “In Georgia, the expansion of advanced automotive facilities and battery production is creating sustained demand for industrial development, power infrastructure and labor housing,” he says. “In Texas, continuous investment in data centers, petrochemicals and the modernization of the network will continue to be strong.”
