Core offering

ECS Group is a professional services firm that delivers field verification and as-built surveying, computer-aided drafting (CAD), and CAFM/CIFM facility database development to architects, property developers, corporate facility managers, higher education, healthcare, banking, and government clients across the United States. The firm is technology-independent, does not sell hardware or software, and offers an ASP hosting subscription for client drawings and CAFM databases.

Product overview

ECS Group is a services company — not a software vendor — offering a unified portfolio of CAD/CAFM/CIFM services organized around three core offerings: Field Verification Services (on-site surveying and measurement to produce as-built/as-existing drawings), CAFM/CIFM Database Development (building and maintaining facility management databases integrated with space, asset, and cost data), and Computer Aided Drafting Services (producing standardized CAD drawings using AutoCAD, MicroStation, Archibus, FM:Systems, and other platforms). Supplementary offerings include ASP & Hosting Services (hosting drawings and CAFM databases on ECS servers under an on-demand subscription model) and Square Footage Analysis Services (BOMA/REBNY/IFMA-compliant lease verification using StandardWare). All services are technology-independent — ECS does not sell hardware or software — enabling an objective best-practices approach across the major CAFM platforms. ECS operates as a small business enterprise serving facility management, architectural, engineering, and government communities across the United States since 1976.
