What makes CDI unique?

CDI is a certified Woman Business Enterprise that focuses on building stronger communities across each of our marketplaces. To reflect this commitment, all full-time team members receive eight hours of volunteer time off per year. Our six service lines (Infrastructure + Analytics, Site, Structures, Survey, Transportation, and Water Resources) collaborate to leverage each other’s knowledge and expertise, implementing quality control measures, enabling unique solutions, and ultimately ensuring optimal project outcomes for our clients. With over 25 years in business, CDI has grown to four office locations in Effingham, IL, Jefferson City, MO, Louisville, KY, and St. Louis, MO, with an office in Collinsville, IL set to open in early 2023.

What to Expect

Our Structures team is growing! Each of our 12 team members routinely collaborates with other services and offices, reinforcing our strong family-oriented culture. Additionally, CDI aims to find projects that resonate with each team member. Recent projects, both large and small, that have strongly impacted our community include:
