and consultants.

Note: Information for this list was provided by the companies
themselves. Numbers that appear to be tied have been rounded. Firms
are ranked by 2004 LA County billings. NBBJ, No. 4 last year, was
unable to provide local billings. HMC Architects, No. 13 last year,
may have qualified for this list but failed to provide information.
To the best of our knowledge, this information is accurate as of
press time. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy and
thoroughness of the list, omissions and typographical errors sometimes
occur. Please send corrections or additions on company letterhead to
