CAL Y MAYOR Y ASOCIADOS

What CAL Y MAYOR Y ASOCIADOS does

Grupo Cal y Mayor y Asociados S.C. is a Mexico-based infrastructure engineering consultancy founded in 1976 by Ing. Rafael Cal y Mayor Reyes Spíndola that operates through a group structure comprising affiliated entities (Cal y Mayor Colombia S.A.S., C&M Associates, Omni Design Inc., Navarro & Cal y Mayor, Artelia Cal y Mayor). The firm serves federal, state, and municipal government agencies, public-private partnership (PPP) concession holders, multilateral development banks, and private infrastructure developers across Latin America and the United States, with verticals spanning transport and mobility (highways, urban transit, metro and light rail, cable cars, ports, airports), healthcare PPP infrastructure, real estate, and industrial/energy sectors.

The firm delivers full-lifecycle infrastructure services across three phases — pre-investment (traffic and revenue studies, feasibility analyses, ITS consulting, transit engineering, sustainable mobility), investment (infrastructure design, construction supervision, independent engineer, project management), and operation (independent operation engineer, PPP project supervision, road operation and maintenance). Core technology is ISO 19650-certified BIM (Building Information Modeling) integrated with Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) and Lean Construction methodologies. Proprietary SIGI software delivers quantified efficiency gains (saves 1-2 months of field maintenance, reduces data reprocessing time by 70%, cuts report generation time by 40%, reduces manual errors by 90%). The firm achieved BIM2 certification from AENOR (2025) and ISO 37001 anti-bribery certification alongside longstanding ISO quality certifications.

Revenue is generated through fee-based professional services won via competitive government tenders and direct engagement with PPP concession holders and development banks. The firm employs 3,000+ people across 10+ countries and has supported over $6 billion in bond issuances, $1.8 billion in credit operations, and $20 billion in asset transactions through its traffic and revenue studies. Pricing is project-based, not publicly disclosed, with multi-year engagement cycles aligned to PPP concession and infrastructure program timelines. Go-to-market relies on enterprise field sales, industry event participation, technical publication thought leadership, and institutional brand anchored by the founder's 'Ingeniería de Tránsito' textbook (9th edition), the standard reference across Latin American transport engineering programs.
