The 2026 Trifecta Award: Three Pillars, One Extraordinary Achievement 

By Luke Carothers The strongest AEC firms rarely excel in just one area.  They build workplaces where people want to stay, deliver projects that leave a lasting impact, and create businesses capable of sustaining that success. Those strengths reinforce one another, turning individual achievements into lasting momentum.  That philosophy is the foundation of the Zweig List. People, Practice, Projects—these three pillars recognize firms that invest in their employees, produce meaningful work, and operate with the vision to succeed in a competitive industry.  The Trifecta Award recognized the organizations that manage to bring all three together. These firms have demonstrated excellence across every pillar, proving that lasting success is built not on a single accomplishment, but on a balanced commitment to culture, client impact, and business performance.  The 2026 Trifecta Award winners represent different markets, specialties, and firm sizes, but they share a common bel...

New Healthcare Center Opens in Alausí Following Devastating 2023 Landslide

Chimborazo Province, Ecuador  —   Engineers Without Borders USA (EWB-USA), in partnership with FIEA Ecuador and the community of Alausí and technical architectural support from HDR, has officially completed construction on a new community healthcare center in Alausí, Ecuador, restoring access to essential medical services after the devastating March 2023 landslide.
