With over 30 years in the industry, ENGworks has been characterized as adaptable to different circumstances, and this past year has presented us with new opportunities of growth and evolution once again. ENGworks is now ENGworks Global.

Where We Have Been

In 1989, Chris DiIorio started the consulting business as SimplyCAD, from a dorm room at the University of Illinois Chicago, to bring much needed technology solutions to the AEC/O industry. In 2002, we changed the company name to CADworks in an effort to rebrand and add additional layers to the services we provided. In 2005, the modeling and coordination industry was emerging in California, so CADworks established a presence there. We became the first U.S. based BIM service company to use CADmep in 2008 and have since completed tens of millions of dollars of fabrication work. In 2007 we were certified as a Premier Provider for Autodesk Seek to support the creation of high-quality Autodesk Revit MEP content for Building Product Manufacturers, a service that still represents a significant portion of our business portfolio.

As the AEC industry was coming out of the global recession in 2012, CADworks and ENGstudios agreed to bring our respective businesses together under a new banner, ENGworks. In 2014, ENGworks, Inc. and ENGstudios agreed to operate independently but continue to share the same brand identity, ENGworks.

Like many companies, 2020 provided us a moment in time to reflect and refocus on our core business offerings. The driving force of the business in 1989 was to push technology into the AEC/O Industry, always striving to make it better, and to bring new and exciting productivity gains to the industry – and we continue to be driven by that passion today!

ENGworks Global Timeline
Where We Are Going

As a part of this change, ENGworks is undergoing a transition to reinforce our global services and meet client needs more effectively. Our client relationships have provided us an opportunity to offer revolutionary new services and explore new markets. To successfully cater to these new interests, we have decided to shift our company name from ENGworks to ENGworks Global.

We now have global personnel and partners to perform in other regions with the same quality and standards we’ve established in Chicago, IL. We are proudly known as the largest MEP content builder in the world and considered the best-of-breed with Building Product Manufacturers.

Nothing will change regarding the continuity of our services. Our clients will not recognize any difference, as it only means we have new emails and a domain but the same superior service.

We’re incredibly proud of the work that we do at ENGworks Global and thankful for the employees, the partnerships, and the clients that have accompanied us in our growth. We look forward to continuing to support all of our clients and partners in this new journey forward.
