Platinum Status for the third consecutive year reflects a year of meaningful momentum across product, people, and growth.
Some milestones are worth pausing on. Being named one of Canada's Best Managed Companies for eight consecutive years, while holding Platinum Status for the third year running, is one of them. It is not just a badge. It is a signal that the fundamentals of the business, how CMiC innovates, how it grows, and how it serves its customers, are working.
The Deloitte Best Managed Companies program is one of Canada's most respected business recognition programs, evaluating private companies on the strength of their strategy, culture, capability, and financial performance. Earning Platinum Status means a company has sustained that standard for three or more consecutive years. For CMiC, this year's recognition lands at a particularly meaningful moment.
A Defining Year for CMiC
The past year brought one of the most significant product launches in CMiC's history. CMiC NEXUS, the company's AI-powered ERP platform, arrived as a direct response to what construction firms have been asking for: smarter tools that work the way their teams actually work.
NEXUS was built to transform how construction teams interact with data, automate workflows, and make critical business decisions. It brings advanced data visualization, business intelligence tools, and natural language capabilities into a single, unified platform, one that reflects decades of investment in single-database architecture. That foundation matters, because AI is only as reliable as the data it operates on. When every module shares the same database, outputs stay consistent and auditable across the entire business.
"The launch of NEXUS marked a defining moment for CMiC, one that solidified our position as a leading AI-powered construction ERP provider. But the launch was just the beginning," said Gord Rawlins, CEO and President — CMiC. "Since releasing NEXUS last fall, we have continued to expand our AI-enabled capabilities and deepen the features our customers already rely on. That ongoing investment is a true reflection of who we are: a company built on continuous development and a relentless commitment to improvement."
That commitment to continuous development is not a talking point. It is embedded in how CMiC operates. The company reinvested 20% of annual revenue into R&D this past year, with an expanding focus on AI-powered innovation. Agile development practices mean that customer feedback moves quickly from conversation to product update, and that the platform keeps pace with how the construction industry is evolving.
What NEXUS Delivers in Practice
For project teams, NEXUS introduces AI capabilities that eliminate some of the most time-consuming manual tasks in construction workflows. An AI drawing extraction tool pulls sheet numbers and titles directly from PDF drawings, removing the need for manual data entry and target region mapping. An AI SpecBook Organizer automatically identifies section numbers, titles, and CSI codes, then splits spec books into individual trade sections. An AI Submittal Assistant analyzes project documents and suggests required submittals with pre-filled records.
The Project Pulse dashboard goes further, applying sentiment analysis to daily field journal entries to surface language patterns that signal schedule risk, safety concerns, or team frustration, before those issues appear in reports. That kind of early visibility is difficult to achieve through traditional reporting, and it reflects the kind of operational value that AI can deliver when it is built into a platform rather than layered on top of one.
On the financial side, NEXUS's natural language interface helps users generate balance sheets, income statements, and other standard financial documents from a plain-language prompt. AI agents handle purchase order matching and invoice reconciliation automatically, with filtering by due date, vendor, job, and other parameters. Any team member can query live project and financial data in plain English, without SQL, without a custom report builder, and without waiting on IT.
Momentum Across the Business
The Deloitte recognition reflects progress that extends well beyond the product. The past year brought substantial year-over-year sales growth, demonstrating resilience in an evolving market. CMiC also integrated AI across key support and sales functions, improving speed, productivity, and the overall customer experience. These are not isolated wins. They reflect a company operating with clarity about where it is headed and how it intends to get there.
"Being recognized for an eighth consecutive year, while maintaining Platinum status for the third straight year, is something we are incredibly proud of," said Pat Shah, Chief Operating Officer — CMiC. "This honour reflects the commitment of our employees and the trust of our customers. It speaks to our continued focus on building technology that helps the construction industry move forward with confidence. As the industry evolves, we remain focused on delivering innovation that creates real operational value for our customers."
That focus on real operational value is what separates meaningful recognition from ceremonial ones. The construction industry operates on tight margins, complex project structures, and workflows that involve dozens of stakeholders across a single job. Technology that does not reduce friction in those workflows does not earn adoption. CMiC has spent decades building toward a platform that earns its place in those environments, and NEXUS represents the most significant expression of that work to date.
Looking Ahead
With a strong AI roadmap in place, CMiC is well-positioned to continue expanding what NEXUS can do. The capabilities released to date reflect an early chapter, not a finished product. The company's investment in R&D, combined with the feedback loops it has built with customers and implementation partners, means that future development will continue to be shaped by the problems construction firms are actually trying to solve.
Eight consecutive years of Deloitte Best Managed recognition, capped by three years of Platinum Status, reflects a business that has earned its position through sustained performance. The launch of NEXUS ensures that the next chapter of that story is being written with AI at the center.
