Today, World Landscape Architect tried to access EDAW.com and some of EDAW’s country domain sites (.cn, .hk, .au, etc) but was redirected to AECOM.com. So it now it seems that EDAW has fully merged completely into AECOM.
We found the new AECOM.com site shows a re-branded AECOM and merges many of the firms identities that where once known separately in various countries are now one brand with new look logo and a single website.
Some will be sad to see the names of EDAW, Cansult Maunsell, Faber Maunsell, Basset, ENSR, Earth Tech, TCB, PADCO, CTE, Metcaf & Eddy, UMA, DMJM and many other firms merge into one name, but others will see it as a fresh to be apart of the one company with 43,000 people. It just shows that the world of professional services is now truly global with services interchanged between firms and offices who once vied for the same work now merged into one company. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for the industry and whether other companies will merge together to form another multi-discipline worldwide firm or a large built environment services company.
DISCLOSURE: Author & Editor Damian Holmes worked for UMA in Calgary when UMA & AECOM were merging.
