What Sistema does

Sistema Engenharia E Consultoria S/C Ltda. (operating as Sistema) is a privately held Brazilian construction management and engineering consultancy founded in 1996 and headquartered in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro. The firm provides four integrated service modules: Construction Planning (initial scheduling, replanning, procurement scheduling, weekly programming and monitoring), Construction Management (external critical oversight including budget preparation, bidding management, technical inspection, quality control, safety compliance, and cost control), Projects and Consulting (needs diagnostics, contractor coordination, technical standards analysis, cost rationalization, and financial management), and Works Management (end-to-end execution from executive project development through licensing and occupancy permit acquisition). Its primary customers are construction companies, real estate developers (incorporadoras), and property owners/investors in Brazil, with marquee long-term enterprise clients including Cyrela, Gafisa, Elvas, Visione, Targa, Andrade Gutierrez, Odebrecht, and Calçada.

Sistema operates a proprietary technology stack consisting of the SISGO mobile application (available on Google Play and Apple App Store) and a web-based client portal (app.sistemaengenharia.com.br, v1.0.7 released in 2025), both providing dynamic dashboards, S-curves, trend curves, and service-by-service comparative analysis for real-time construction monitoring. The platform was developed internally under the leadership of co-founder Marcelo Tavares. The company is LGPD-compliant (Brazil's General Data Protection Law) with documented AWS-based security controls, and operates a "Request a Presentation" (Solicite uma apresentação) sales motion targeting enterprise clients nationwide.

The firm's business model is professional services engagement-based with custom project-based pricing; specific fees are not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct, leveraging the website, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and direct phone/WhatsApp outreach. Geographic scope is single-country (Brazil) with claimed nationwide coverage delivered from a Niterói base. The company is founder-led by co-founders Marcelo do Nascimento and Marcelo Tavares, supported by a senior engineering team that includes alumni of major Brazilian developers (Cyrela, Gafisa, Rossi, Pinto de Almeida), giving Sistema deep relationships and reputational credibility within the Brazilian real estate development ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• Arcadis: Arcadis is a global design and consultancy firm providing project and cost management (including Arcadis IBI) for buildings and real estate. Directly comparable activity to Sistema's planning and management services for developers, with stronger international presence but similar engagement model.
• AECOM: AECOM is a global infrastructure consulting firm with an extensive Construction Management / PMO practice serving commercial, residential, and infrastructure clients worldwide. Comparable in service capability (EPCM/PMO oversight) and digital delivery tools, though serving a much broader portfolio than Sistema's Brazilian real estate focus.
• Turner Construction Company: Turner is one of the largest construction management firms in the world, providing at-risk CM, owner-rep, and general contracting services for commercial, healthcare, and residential builds. Comparable in third-party construction oversight service line, though Turner operates primarily as a self-performing CM rather than a pure PMO.
• Jacobs Solutions: Jacobs (formerly Jacobs Engineering) provides owners-representative, program management, and construction management services across critical infrastructure, water, transportation, and built environment. Comparable to Sistema in offering independent PMO and construction oversight, though at vastly larger scale and geographic breadth.

Direct peers

• Hill International: Hill International is a global construction management and consulting firm providing project management, owner's representation, and construction oversight services. Highly comparable to Sistema in service model (third-party oversight for developers/owners) and Brazil-relevant footprint, though at significantly larger scale.
• Bureau Veritas: Bureau Veritas operates a Construction Services division offering project monitoring, technical inspection, quantity surveying, and construction phase oversight globally, including Brazil. Directly comparable as an independent third-party construction oversight and quality/compliance verification provider serving developers.

Emerging players

• PlanRadar: PlanRadar offers SaaS for construction documentation, defect management, and real-time progress tracking with mobile apps used by site teams. Comparable to SISGO as a mobile-first construction oversight tool, though PlanRadar is software-only and global rather than a hybrid consulting-and-tech firm.
• Procore Technologies: Procore is a leading SaaS platform for construction project management with dashboards, scheduling, and progress tracking — overlapping with Sistema's SISGO functionality. While Procore is software-only and global, it represents the digital construction-management category Sistema's proprietary tooling competes against as the category matures.

Regional players

• Even Construtora e Incorporadora: Even is a major Brazilian real estate developer focused on residential and commercial projects in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and other Brazilian cities. Comparable as a Brazilian market participant navigating the same regional development cycle that drives demand for Sistema's PMO services.

Others

• Cyrela Brazil Realty: Cyrela is one of Brazil's largest residential developers and a Sistema client for 19 years (125 sites, 1M+ m²). Listed as adjacent because Cyrela is principally an ecosystem participant (customer) rather than a competing construction management firm; useful for understanding the demand environment for owners-rep services.
