Our
Story
Consulcad was established in the late eighties as a specialist CAD software consultancy providing services to construction, architecture and engineering businesses. Over time, our business developed the project controls and management rigour for large infrastructure projects, and as we expanded, we adapted these to also deliver IT and business transformation projects.
The result has been our unique blend of expertise and our experience across these three areas. Our consultants understand all aspects of an organisation and can interact with people from head office to staff in the field. This breadth of experience sets us apart in the consulting arena.
Our
Team
Consulcad’s team of experienced consultants will guide your organisation through the most complex challenges.
We have deep experience across management consulting, project management, technology, innovation, engineering management, business improvement and organisational change management and we’ve worked extensively for government, professional services and commercial sector clients.
