Birmingham-based HPM was ranked number 22 on ENR’s Top 50 Program Management Firms, a list of the top U.S. construction management firms.

The ranking is based on agency fees for multi-project construction programs. HPM took the largest jump in the rankings of any firm during the last 12 months.

“This significant jump in ENR’s rankings is a true testament to our firm’s ability to take risks and insert ourselves into new markets,” said HPM president Mike Lanier in a release from the company. “We started as a small local firm in Birmingham and have grown to build a portfolio of successful projects in aerospace, sports, education and more across the country, establishing ourselves as leaders among some of the biggest names in construction and commercial real estate.”

The firm’s footprint now expands across a wide swath of the Sun Belt and continues to grow as it takes on new projects and personnel. Some of HPM’s recent projects include the A320 and A220 assembly lines for the Airbus campus in Mobile, CoolToday Park (the official Atlanta Braves spring training facility) in North Port, FL, and Louis Pizitz Middle School (part of Vestavia Hills City Schools) in Birmingham.

Founded in 1997, HPM provides comprehensive guidance to clients on the construction and development process and offers “a one-stop approach to complete program management and owner’s representation.”
