Engineered Solutions

What Engineered Solutions does

Engineered Solutions operates as CMTA, Inc., a U.S.-based mechanical and electrical consulting engineering firm founded in 1988 and headquartered in Natick, Massachusetts. CMTA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Legence, a strategic operating company providing engineering, consulting, installation, and maintenance services for mission-critical building systems that has announced pricing of an IPO and is reportedly trusted by more than 60% of the Nasdaq-100 for high-performance building needs.

The firm's core service portfolio spans consulting engineering, performance contracting, zero energy design, technology services, commissioning, and acoustic design. These capabilities are unified through a proprietary methodology called "Building Science Leadership," which integrates decarbonization, geothermal systems, health and wellness, energy resilience, and the "Building Integration Sphere" to deliver high-performance building solutions. CMTA's technical credibility is evidenced by 7 ASHRAE International Technology Awards in 2026 (5 first place, 1 second place, 1 honorable mention).

CMTA generates revenue through two primary streams: project-based professional engineering consulting fees (scoped to project complexity and scale) and outcome-based performance contracting tied to guaranteed energy savings. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting building owners, developers, architects, and contractors across 13 verticals including advanced manufacturing, aviation, federal, healthcare, higher education, hospitality, K-12, life sciences, local government, media and production, mission critical (data centers), sports and entertainment, and workplace. Geographic expansion in 2026 included the acquisitions of Metrix Engineers (Seattle/Renton, WA) and Arizona Pinnacle Engineering (Phoenix, AZ).
