Ridge advances to 15th in Building Magazine’s Top 150 Consultants

18 September 2025

Ridge has climbed three places in Building Magazine's Top 150 Consultants ranking, advancing from 18th to 15th position. This improvement reflects our strategic focus on operational excellence and market expansion, supported by a 17% increase in fee income - one of the largest growth rates among the top 20 consultancies.

The annual ranking, one of the construction industry’s most prestigious accolades, recognises the UK’s leading consultancy firms based on their performance, innovation, and contribution to the built environment.

Ridge’s improved position reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional services across multiple disciplines. Notable achievements include our Project Management division advancing from 13th to 10th, Engineering climbing from 13th to 10th, Architecture moving from 18th to 15th, and Surveying maintaining a strong position at 9th. This places Ridge in the top 10 across Engineering, Project Management and Surveying. We are also one of only three consultants to rank in the Top 15 across all four tables – demonstrating our multi-disciplinary excellence across the built environment.

“Our improved ranking reflects our commitment to delivering value for clients and building long-term partnerships that strengthen our market position.

 

“We’re proud to be one of only three consultants to feature in the top 15 across all the tables, and to be ranked in the top 10 for Engineering, Project Management and Surveying. We’ve invested in both the breadth and depth of our expertise across 18 disciplines and 16 sectors. This not only drives sustainable growth but also builds resilience and enables us to offer integrated solutions that keep our clients coming back. Most importantly, our success is underpinned by the brilliance of our people — their expertise, collaboration and commitment are what truly set us apart.”
