Cresme Consulting

What Cresme Consulting does

CRESME Consulting S.r.l. is an Italian business and technical consulting firm headquartered in Rome with an operational office in Formello, established in 2006 as a subsidiary of Gruppo CRESME (founded 1962). The firm delivers specialized consulting to Italian public administration bodies and private real estate operators across six service lines: Real Estate, Asset Digitalization, Energy, Smart City, Smart Community, and Catasto (cadastral and property tax management). Its primary customers are municipalities, provinces, regions, ministries, and public agencies, supported by a smaller base of private-sector clients such as iGuzzini and ÆQUA Roma.

The company combines advisory work with three proprietary web platforms: DiBiD (Digital Building Dossier for real estate asset management and due diligence), Shalling! (participatory urban regeneration and sharing-design platform with CMS and Web-GIS functionality), and Planergy (energy monitoring for public buildings and PAES planning), plus a companion Planergy-APP mobile tool. Underlying technologies include BIM methodologies, laser scanner 3D LIDAR, drone photogrammetry, 360° photography, and GIS/Web-GIS platforms, with IT infrastructure hosted on Aruba S.p.A.

Revenue comes from two streams: project-based professional services delivered through public tenders (GARE/CIG codes) and direct consultancy mandates, plus subscription/managed-service arrangements for the three platforms. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quoted on a per-project basis via email or web contact form. The firm is sales-led, targeting public administration through direct engagement, the corporate website, professional networks, and public procurement participation. It holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (KIWA, valid through 2026) and operates exclusively within Italy, with the broader Gruppo CRESME providing brand, research-data, and associational-distribution leverage.
