Influential publication’s latest Sourcebook reflects CRB’s rise in critical industries
KANSAS CITY, Missouri (July 26, 2022) – CRB, a leading global provider of sustainable engineering, architecture, construction, and consulting solutions to the life sciences and food and beverage industries, has advanced in several key manufacturing categories according to Engineering News-Record’s just-released rankings of AEC service providers.
ENR’s annual Sourcebook – considered among the most-respected rankings within the AEC space – listed CRB as the no. 2 provider of pharmaceutical manufacturing design, up from no. 3 in 2021. The company held on to its no. 4 ranking for industrial process work, and was ranked 8th among food and beverage manufacturing service providers.
Additionally, ENR’s recent list of top design-build firms ranked CRB among the United States’ top 50. The company came in at no. 36, up eight spots from 44 in 2021. Earlier this summer, ENR’s 2022 Top 500 Design Firms list ranked CRB among the top 100. Ranked according to revenue for design services performed in 2021, CRB came in at number 67 – up from no. 101 the year previous.
CRB’s steady rise reflects increasing client demand for the company’s lean integrated project delivery method, ONEsolution™. The unique approach, which leverages a single project team, focuses on understanding the client’s business case, maximizing their value and reducing their risk, which enables CRB to safely deliver a high quality facility within cost and schedule objectives.
Clients choose the company’s method for their large capital expenditure projects because ONEsolution provides everything needed from initial planning and design through to construction and operational readiness. CRB’s integrated approach has been successfully used to develop large-scale facilities across life sciences and food and beverage projects in North America and Europe.
