Construction Specialized Trades

Today’s modern buildings rely on equipment and systems that must perform reliably, safely, and efficiently, and often within highly regulated environments. CSI serves manufacturers with precision-engineered components across the specialized trades such as elevators and lifts, HVAC systems, building automation and controls, fire and life-safety systems, plumbing solutions, and other critical MEP applications.

Whether it’s a machined valve housing, a fabricated bracket for a control panel, or an injection-molded component inside a smart building sensor, CSI delivers the quality, consistency, and reliability these systems demand. Our global manufacturing network and deep engineering collaboration help you reduce cost, improve manufacturability, and keep projects moving without interruption.

Our Capabilities

CSI manufactures precision components and turnkey assemblies used inside a wide variety of specialized construction systems — from elevators and environmental controls to plumbing infrastructure and connected-building devices. Our capabilities include both metal and plastic component manufacturing and allow us to support everything from low-volume specialty components to high-volume production programs.

Typical Components and Processes:

  • Precision Components: Pistons, spools, fittings, gears, bearings, and drive components
  • Machined Components: Brackets, couplings, housings, manifolds, shafts, bushings, reollers
  • Stampings and Formed Parts: Mounting plates, sensor brackets, control panel components, covers, reinforcement plates
  • Plastic Injection Molded Parts: Airflow baffles, cable mounts, sensor housings, covers, spacers, cable mounts
  • Wire Harnesses: Sensor and controller cabling assemblies
  • Fabricated and Welded Parts: Panels, mounts, handrails, brackets

Why Construction Trades Customers Choose CSI

Precision for Regulated Systems

We understand the compliance, safety, and reliability expectations inherent in these building control environments.

Flexible Production

From small-batch specialty components to high-volume production, we scale to match your product portfolio.

Supply Chain Reliability

CSI coordinates domestic and international production to keep OEM build schedules on track.

Engineering Partnership

We work closely with your design, sourcing, and operations teams to refine specs, improve manufacturability, and reduce total cost.

Ingenuity in Action: CSI for Construction Trades

We’ve supported OEMs across the full spectrum of building systems. Here are some recent examples:

  • Reverse-engineered a latch assembly for a storage-door manufacturer, eliminating a proprietary component and cutting total part cost by roughly 20%.
  • Bridged engineering-to-manufacturing gaps by refining designs, selecting commercially available materials, and developing repeatable processes that reduced cost and improved manufacturability.
