For the Second Straight Year, M2 Group Named an AEC Circle of Excellence Firm by PSMJ, Earning Recognition Among the Industry's Best-Managed AEC Firms

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- M2 Group (M2), a multidisciplinary land development firm enhancing communities across the South and Midwest, earned a spot on the 2026 AEC Circle of Excellence for the second consecutive year, joining PSMJ Resources Inc.'s exclusive list of the industry's best-managed architecture and engineering firms. M2 is one of 61 firms to make this year's list. PSMJ is a leading authority on management for the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry.

The AEC Circle of Excellence honors firms that demonstrate outstanding achievements in areas such as profitability, overhead management, cash flow, productivity, staff growth and turnover. Winners represent the top 20% of participants in PSMJ's AE Financial Performance Benchmark Survey, ranked across nine key performance metrics. This year's benchmark drew data from 318 firms across the United States and Canada.

"Earning this recognition two years running speaks to how we operate," said Matt Bryant, PE, President of M2. "Strong financials and disciplined operations don't happen by accident. They come from a team that treats every client's goals as our own and holds itself to a higher standard. I'm proud of our team and the culture of excellence we've built here."

The recognition caps a period of steady momentum for M2. The firm was recently named a 2026 Hot Firm by Zweig Group, ranking among the 100 fastest-growing AEC firms in the U.S. and Canada, and has expanded beyond its Middle Tennessee roots into a multi-state service area while broadening capabilities across the land development lifecycle. Being named a best-managed firm in back-to-back years underscores that M2's growth is matched by operational and financial discipline.
