C1S Group, a nationally-renowned full-service professional engineering and construction firm based in Dallas, took home top honors from the SMU Cox School of Business with the Caruth Institute for Entrepreneurship’s 2014 Dallas 100 TM Award. The award, which recognizes the 100 fastest-growing Dallas-based companies, was presented to recipients at a formal reception on Thurs. Nov. 13, at the Omni Hotel in downtown Dallas. C1S Group ranked 31st out of the 100 honorees.

To be considered for the prestigious award, nominees must be a Metroplex-based, independent, for-profit, privately held corporation, proprietorship or partnership with at least three years of financial history.
