Computer Systems for Business Limited (CSB) was established in 1986 by senior managers from Burroughs (now Unisys) where they had been responsible for developing and implementing software solutions for the construction industry.

The principle behind CSB’s success is embodied in the company’s mission statement: To create and share measurable business benefits with our worldwide clients through process improvement, software and services.

Today, CSB has grown to become a major software house servicing the construction industries in the UK and Australasia.

In the UK alone, CSB has a considerable share of the construction industry software market represented by a range of outstanding clients across the main and specialist contracting arenas, house building and FM businesses. CSB’s consistent revenue growth of circa 15% per annum for the past 10 years conveys a business success story that transcended the major recession of the 1990s and has seen off the threat of fickle dot com start-ups.

CSB’s people are predominately from a construction background and have considerably more industry knowledge than any of the company’s competitors. Throughout CSB there is a compelling drive to service clients and to constantly improve the offering. This is manifest by the ongoing growth in the number of clients that now represent the industry’s spectrum ranging from medium sized businesses to vast multi-national organisations that employ thousands of people across a range of geographic areas.

There is nothing more important to a state-of-the-art business than the time and freedom to think and work. CSB’s approach includes the comprehensive personal development of its people together with a continuous relationship with a range of high calibre academic institutions to ensure the company balances the need to deliver a reliable solution today with keeping an eye on future developments, and how they will be of use to the construction industry.

The COINS solution comprises a range of software and business processes developed over hundreds of man-years by a partnership of CSB people working closely with clients and individuals throughout the hierarchy of construction.
