TORONTO – October 5th, 2016 – CCI Group Inc., (CCIG) a national team of respected building science and environmental engineering experts, and McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers Ltd. (MPCE), a multi-disciplinary engineering firm based in Eastern Ontario, today announced the combination of the two companies. “The management teams of MPCE and CCIG have done a tremendous job building leading engineering companies in their respective sectors,” said James Johnson, Managing Partner of Signal Hill. “Their combination will create a unique platform as we grow into a preeminent national engineering services company.” Signal Hill provided growth capital to facilitate the transaction.

The new company, called McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers Ltd., has more than 450 professional and technical staff in nine locations across the country, and provides a wide range of services to clients in both the private and public sectors.

“This is the next step in our plan to become the premier engineering firm in Canada,” said Gus Sarrouh, CEO, McIntosh Perry Consulting Engineers Ltd. “McIntosh Perry and CCIG operate in different, but complementary sectors.

By combining our two firms together, we will be in a strong position for future growth. We are pleased to find a company that also shares our strong focus on client satisfaction, technical expertise and providing high-quality services.”

CCIG provides services that cover all stages of the building lifecycle, from the initial environmental and property condition assessment to design and inspection during construction to decommissioning and pre-demolition. MPCE’s work in civil engineering, contract administration and inspection services for infrastructure related projects has earned the firm a reputation as a company that completes projects in a cost-effective and timely manner.
