What CSI-Civil and Structural Engineering does

CSI - Civil and Structural Engineering Pvt. Ltd. is a Pune, India-based private engineering consultancy (11-50 employees, founded 2016) that delivers outsourced civil and structural engineering services to enterprise clients across nine-plus countries including the USA, UK, Oman, Qatar, the UAE, Brazil, Australia, and New Zealand, alongside domestic Indian industrial and commercial projects. Its service portfolio spans Building Information Modeling (BIM), structural analysis and design using Finite Element Method (FEM) techniques, structural steel and precast detailing, architectural engineering, façade engineering, scan-to-BIM (point cloud-to-model conversion), and design of special freeform structures.

The firm operates on industry-standard tools — Tekla Structures, Revit, AutoCAD, ETABS, SAP2000, RISA, RAM, SAFE, STAAD Pro, R-FEM, Idea Statica, and the BIM 360 platform — and offers differentiated capabilities in 3D BIM with 4D scheduling and 5D cost estimation, scan-to-BIM at multiple LOD levels with COBie data output, and FEM-based analysis for complex structural designs. A secondary revenue stream comes from CSI's role as an authorized reseller of AXISVM structural analysis software, available in 15+ languages across five continents.

The business model is project-based professional services with a sales-led, direct-engagement GTM targeted at enterprise clients; there is no disclosed pricing model or subscription layer. Leadership is led by Director Gerd von Spiess with senior team members Patrick Gerstner and Shashikant Gunde. No funding rounds have been disclosed, and the firm is bootstrapped, operating globally from a single Pune headquarters without satellite offices.
