Per-MW pricing, regional variance, and cost drivers for owners scoping hyperscale & AI builds.
Salary benchmarks across the 14 mission-critical disciplines.
Hire Chief Technology Officers (CTOs) who make technology a delivery advantage — VDC/BIM at scale, data platforms, AI adoption, and the construction tech stack for contractors, engineering firms, and owner platforms. Enterprise technology roadmaps + adoption records verified through references from CEOs and operators.
A structured process for the hire that decides whether technology compounds your delivery — or becomes shelfware the field never adopts.
30-minute call. Align on technology mandate — VDC/BIM maturity, data and AI ambitions, systems landscape, security posture — reporting line, and timeline.
Within 2–3 weeks we introduce 3–5 CTO candidates with construction-context technology records. References from CEOs, COOs, and field leadership included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee. If the hire fails within the warranty window, we run a no-fee replacement search.
A construction CTO is judged on field adoption, not architecture diagrams. We verify what actually shipped, what the field actually uses, and what it did to margin.
Every candidate has delivered technology inside AEC or an adjacent industrial business — Procore / ACC ecosystems, Revit-based VDC, ERP integration — not just enterprise IT.
Reference-verified adoption outcomes — superintendents and PMs who actually use the stack — and the change-management record behind them.
Verified data-platform builds (warehouse, Power BI / analytics) and AI deployments with measured payback — estimating, scheduling, risk — not pilots that died.
Before you meet a candidate, we have documented the technology record behind the title:
Reference-verified multi-year technology strategy tied to business outcomes, delivered on budget.
Verified command of the AEC stack — Procore, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Revit / VDC, P6 integration, ERP.
Verified data-warehouse and reporting builds executives actually run the business on.
Verified AI adoption record with measured ROI — and the discipline to kill what does not pay.
Verified cybersecurity posture ownership and infrastructure decisions at company scale.
Reference-verified record building technology teams and managing vendor and integrator relationships.
We’ll help scope it on the call — sometimes the right hire is a BIM Director or VP of Engineering instead.
Time to shortlist is typically 2–3 weeks. CTO searches typically close in 6–9 weeks total, including executive interviews, references, and notice periods.
CTO searches typically run as retained executive search. Fee structure is confirmed at engagement start.
Both paths work, but the failure mode differs. Pure-tech CTOs often stall on field adoption; industry lifers can under-reach on data and AI. We shortlist against your mandate and pressure-test both risks in references.
In the US, base salaries typically run $250k–$375k, with total compensation of $350k–$600k+ including bonus and LTIP. PE-backed and contech platforms add meaningful equity.
The BIM Director runs a function; the CTO owns the enterprise technology agenda — systems, data, AI, security, and budget — at the executive table. Many firms grow one into the other.
Yes. Every CTO placement carries a replacement guarantee, confirmed in writing at engagement start.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the CTO mandate, systems landscape, data and AI ambitions, and reporting line — then design the search.
