What CPH does

CPH Consulting, LLC is a full-service architecture and engineering firm headquartered in Sanford, Florida, founded in 1981 and operating as a portfolio company of Trilon Group since June 2022. The firm delivers integrated design services across architecture, civil/site engineering, utility engineering, transportation engineering, water resources, MEP, structural engineering, interior architecture, landscape architecture, surveying and mapping, construction administration, permitting, ecological services, sustainability/LEED, and program management. End markets span government/municipal, commercial/retail, hospitality and entertainment, industrial/office/medical, residential and mixed-use, aviation, water and wastewater infrastructure, and educational/faith-based clients.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through project-based professional services fees billed per engagement, with no standardized public pricing. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales driven by direct client relationships across 20 offices covering the Southeast, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, New England, and the Caribbean, with an active bidding opportunities pipeline for public-sector procurement. Named enterprise clients include Lowe's, Walmart, Target, Whole Foods, Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, McDonald's, Foxtail Coffee, Hyatt, and Nutrex, alongside municipal clients such as the City of Sanford, Seminole County, and Orlando Sanford International Airport.

The business is supported by a workforce of 400+ technical professionals, with access to 5,750+ additional staff across the Trilon family of companies. The firm has executed two disclosed acquisitions under Trilon ownership (ELEVEN18 Architecture in 2022 and Mittauer & Associates in March 2025), broadened its multi-state office footprint, and climbed 35 spots to #259 on the ENR Top 500 Design Firms list in 2026.
