New services and continued growth

Additionally, in 2025 and 2026, CIMA+ continued to expand across the country, with its number of offices now totalling over 45, and a workforce of more than 3,700 employees. This growth was notably marked by the strategic acquisition of two firms since February 2025: Lakeland Consulting Inc. and CSched. These additions have enabled CIMA+ to strengthen its presence in Ontario and Québec, as well as to add new areas of expertise to its service offering, particularly with the arrival of the Lakeland team, who specializes in commercial management.

In 2025, CIMA+ also officially launched its Strategic Consulting and Advisory Services in Sustainability and Decarbonization, further demonstrating the consulting engineering firm's commitment to innovation and sustainable development. 

"These services, like all the strategic acquisitions made this year, are part of our growth strategy, and enable us to continually renew our commitment to providing our clients and business partners with comprehensive and sustainable support," said Steeve Fiset, Chief Strategy Officer at CIMA+.
