Firm also secures #51 spot among top construction management companies
Washington, DC, June 24, 2025—Brailsford & Dunlavey (B&D) announced its continued upward momentum in Engineering News-Record’s (ENR) annual rankings of top program management firms. In the newly released 2025 list, B&D climbed to #25 among the Top 50 Program Management Firms—its highest position ever—and advanced to #51 among the Top 100 Construction Management-for-Fee Firms.
This year’s leap follows B&D’s 2024 placement at #28 in Program Management, reflecting a trend of sustained growth, client trust, and strategic execution across the firm’s national portfolio.
“For many years, B&D has appeared on ENR’s Top Program Management list, steadily rising alongside some of the most respected names in the industry,” said Chris Dunlavey, Co-CEO of Brailsford & Dunlavey. “Climbing into the top half of the list is a gratifying milestone—especially as we prepare for an exciting new phase of growth.”
While the rankings are based on annual revenue, B&D’s leaders emphasize that the firm’s impact extends beyond the numbers. “This distinction is not just about size—it speaks to the quality, complexity, and transformative nature of our work,” said Co-CEO Paul Brailsford. “It reflects the dedication of our project teams, the innovation of our functional groups, and the trust placed in us by our clients.”
ENR’s 2025 rankings come at a time of significant evolution in the professional services market, with program and construction managers navigating inflation, labor challenges, and shifting federal priorities. Despite these headwinds, B&D continues to grow its influence across key sectors—including education, sports, municipal infrastructure, and housing—by aligning client visions with executable strategies.
With this latest recognition, B&D joins the ranks of national firms setting the pace for what’s next in development advisory and program management.
