CUSA

What CUSA does

CUSA Consulting LLC is a family-owned civil and electrical engineering firm founded in 2000 and headquartered in Hampton, New Hampshire, with a satellite office in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area. The company specializes in the design, project management, and construction of critical electrical power and distribution systems, serving federal agencies (Department of Defense, FAA, NOAA/NWS, DOT, and municipal airport authorities) as well as private-sector clients in pharmaceuticals, industrial manufacturing, utilities, environmental services, and research. Operations span all 50 U.S. states plus several international territories, and CUSA functions as a prime contractor directly to its government and enterprise clients on a project-by-project basis.

The firm delivers four integrated service lines: Design Engineering Services (load flow, short-circuit, protective device coordination, arc-flash hazard analysis using HelioScope and ETAP software), Project Management Services (budgeting, scheduling, risk analysis, logistics), Construction Services (high-voltage airport cable and transformer work, UPS and engine generator installation, security and fire-life-safety systems, solar farm installation, lightning protection), and Renewable Energy Services (solar PV design, battery energy storage systems, utility interconnection, and full EPC delivery). Engineering, modeling, and construction are performed in-house, enabling a seamless design-build-install transition that the company positions as its core operational advantage.

CUSA generates revenue through professional-services contracts awarded directly by federal agencies and private enterprises, with no disclosed pricing model and no public financials. The firm holds no institutional investment, has no parent company, and discloses no revenue or headcount beyond a stated 11-50 employee range. Its competitive position rests on 100+ years of combined engineering-team experience, nationwide execution capability, multi-code regulatory expertise (NFPA 70E, IEEE 1584, ANSI C2), and integrated design-build delivery for safety-critical power infrastructure.

• Quanta Services: Public infrastructure services leader specializing in electric power, renewables (solar, BESS), and substation/transmission construction. Comparable end markets to CUSA but operates as a much larger pure-play infrastructure construction firm.
• IES Holdings: Public electrical and mechanical contractor with commercial, industrial, and infrastructure exposure. Comparable in electrical contracting and substation/utility work but much larger and publicly traded.
• EMCOR Group: Public mechanical and electrical construction services firm with significant federal, industrial, and utility exposure. Comparable to CUSA on the electrical construction side, particularly for critical power and UPS installations.
• Stantec: Global engineering, architecture, and consulting firm with U.S. power, infrastructure, and federal practices. Comparable service breadth (electrical design, substation, renewable, PM) but at much larger scale and broader portfolio than CUSA.
• Mortenson Construction: U.S. construction and EPC firm with major wind, solar, and BESS practice and federal/infrastructure work. Comparable renewable EPC capabilities to CUSA, though at significantly greater scale and project size.
• Black & Veatch: Global EPC firm with significant U.S. federal, utility, and renewable energy practices including solar PV, BESS, substations, and transmission. Overlaps directly with CUSA's core electrical power and renewable EPC work but with far larger bonding capacity and project scale.
