Why we invested

The built environment depends on reliable, independent cost intelligence across every stage of a project's lifecycle – from capital planning and insurance to carbon and facilities management.

BCIS has, over 65 years, built a proprietary dataset with unmatched coverage of mission-critical capital cost, operational cost, carbon and reinstatement data. This dataset, together with BCIS’ unrivalled market reputation, means it is uniquely placed to meet the growing demand for data and insight across the built environment. The company also has a significant opportunity to further develop its product offering and expand into adjacent markets.
