Construction and engineering division
Constructionservices
We measure, price, model, draw and review from issued documents, across all CSI divisions. We do not build, we hold no contractor licence, we are not the engineer of record, and we make no site visits. That independence is the point of hiring us.

Estimating & Takeoff
Industries
Who buys this, and what goes wrong for them.
General and specialty contractors
Hard bid work, where most of what you price never becomes revenue.
Design-build and construction management
Pricing before the drawings are finished, then again when they are.
Residential and multifamily
Two markets moving in opposite directions, priced by the unit.
Industrial, heavy civil and utilities
The sector growing fastest, served by the smallest pool of estimators.
Government and public sector
Where the paperwork disqualifies more bids than the price does.
Real estate development and property owners
A cost estimate your lender will accept, independent of the contractor.
Property, facilities and building restoration
Recurring work, because the deadlines are set by law and by lenders.

Capacity that arrives with the milestone and leaves after it.
Local and professional services
Local demand, decided in a day, by a site that either holds up or does not.
