The summer months and the July 4th holiday have not slowed the pace of M&A transactions among A/E firms, as evidenced by the spate of deals announced in the past couple of weeks:
* Memphis, Tennessee-based Hnedak Bobo Group, a 120-person architecture and interior design firm, has acquired 26-person Nashville, Tennessee-based architecture, design and project management firm Bullock Smith & Partners. Bullock Smith will operate under the Hnedak Bobo name and brand.
* Cubellis, the Boston-based 450-person architecture, interior design, and engineering services firm, announced yesterday that it had merged with A/R Environetics Group, a full-service architectural interiors, space planning, and project management firm based in New York City. The merged firm will operate as Cubellis A/R Environetics.
* Brampton, Ontario-based engineering and consulting firm Trow Global, one of Canada's largest engineering and consulting firms, merged with Teknika HBA, a Quebec-based provider of multidisciplinary engineering and consulting services, according to The Walkerton Herald-Times newspaper. The combined workforce now has 2,000 employees and 60 offices in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, the United States, and internationally.
* Shannon & Wilson Inc., the Seattle-based engineering company, bought Van Beveren & Butelo, the Los Angeles-based geotechnical engineering firm, yesterday for an undisclosed price. Shannon & Wilson has 10 offices and reported 2007 gross revenue of $23.4 million, according to the Puget Sound Business Journal.
