Crozier

What Crozier does

Crozier (legal name C.F. Crozier & Associates Inc.) is an employee-owned multidisciplinary consulting engineering firm headquartered in Collingwood, Ontario. Founded in 2004 by Chris Crozier, the firm has grown from three people to 300+ professionals across six Ontario offices (Collingwood, Milton, Toronto, Bradford, Guelph, and Burlington). The company provides civil, water resources, transportation, structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering alongside hydrogeology, environmental consulting, landscape architecture, utility infrastructure, building science, and construction administration services. Its core market is private-sector land development — residential, industrial, commercial, institutional, and Indigenous — primarily across the Greater Golden Horseshoe and Southwestern Ontario, with demonstrated project scale including a 98 Ha secondary plan, a 305 Ha golf club redevelopment, and a $200M capital works program.

The firm operates a unified, full-service consulting model rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture: a single project is staffed across the relevant in-house disciplines so that developers receive civil, water, transportation, structural, electrical, and environmental support from concept through construction. Notable technical components include advanced stormwater management design with bioretention and constructed waterway treatment, state-of-the-art on-site wastewater treatment systems that recycle treated effluent for irrigation, communal groundwater supply exploration for municipal and First Nation clients, and an emerging AI/ML research program in water-sector asset management supported by the University of Guelph G360 Groundwater Research Group and an NSERC-funded partnership with Wilfrid Laurier University.

Commercially, Crozier generates revenue through professional services fees on project-based engagements under a quote-based, no-public-pricing model. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales executed via direct client engagement with private-sector land developers, relationship-based business development, and a marketing mix that includes LinkedIn, the company website, press coverage, industry association participation, community involvement, and research publications. The firm is employee-owned (30 employee shareholders as of 2022) and has grown organically without external private equity, venture capital, or acquisition; leadership consists of Founder & CEO Chris Crozier, President Nick Mocan, CFO Juan Laverde, and Executive Vice President Jeffrey Swartz, with a broader partner, director, and associate bench across all six offices.
