This month Axium is spotlighting Sterling Engineering, Co., Inc., a full service mechanical, electrical, and plumbing firm, located in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.
There are four tenets to Sterling’s approach to the design and investigation of building systems: Improve performance, safety, reliability, and efficiency. The client’s bottom line is their bottom line: if the building systems are performing safely, reliably and efficiently, the client is able to focus on their business and not on fixing their building systems. That’s their goal as a professional consulting engineering firm: to improve client company productivity by addressing building system performance, safety, reliability and efficiency.
The 2007 PSMJ Circle of Excellence reflects the performance of 37 design firms of which 28 participants have agreed to have their names published, Sterling being one of them the last two years! To understand more about this award a Press Release went out explaining the specifics. "PSMJ Resources, Inc., the premier management consulting firm for the A/E/C (architecture/engineering/ construction) industries, today published the 2007 PSMJ Circle of Excellence. The PSMJ Circle of Excellence is determined by weighting each firm’s ranking in the overall PSMJ A/E Financial Performance Survey with respect to thirteen individual benchmarks. These benchmarks are indicative of performance in the various aspects of business operations, including cash flow, overhead control, business development, project performance, staff utilization, and overall profitability."
“The PSMJ Circle of Excellence is not determined by firm revenue, profitability, or sheer size – nor is it determined by any subjective criteria. The thirteen benchmarks that determine the PSMJ Circle of Excellence were chosen to reflect that the firms are wellmanaged, have a strong client base, and are led in a responsible and sustainable manner. PSMJ believes that clients prefer to work with well-run firms because they are more likely to provide superior service and value”, explains H.E. “Dan” Daniels, PSMJ’s survey editor.
For over 30 years, PSMJ Resources, Inc. has offered publications, educational programs, in-house training and management consulting services to A/E/C professionals worldwide. PSMJ Resources conducts more than 200 educational seminars and conferences annually, supported by major professional societies, including AIA and ACEC. Headquartered in Newton, MA, PSMJ Resources provides more than 150 titles in book and audio, and publishes three newsletters about A/E/C firm management. PSMJ Resources also produces the industry’s preeminent annual surveys on management salaries, financial performance, fees and pricing, and benchmarks for the design firm CEO.

Winning the PSMJ Circle of Excellence Award places Sterling among some of the best AE firms in the industry, firms that have been able to not only do business well, by meeting - and often exceeding - their clients' expectations, but also to develop well-run businesses that support and reward their employees and owners.
At Sterling, they feel as though it is an honor to be among the PSMJ Circle of Excellence winners. This distinction is especially meaningful to them because it goes beyond the typical awards for excellent design projects and proud clients and acknowledges and congratulates the back-office efforts of the entire firm. Whether or not a member of their team is involved in the technical side of the business, the engineering and design, they are an integral part of what makes Sterling successful. They thank PSMJ for valuing all that it takes to run a solid consulting engineering firm.
At Sterling, they pride themselves on being able to identify and solve their client's facilities issues. That has been, and always will be, their hallmark. At their core, they are problem-solvers.
