About Us

MCDS is a specialized, 'bespoke' professional services consultancy registered in Sri Lanka, dedicated to the construction and infrastructure industry. The firm's singular mission is to protect its clients' capital investments and deliver total commercial certainty on high-stakes projects.

In an industry of escalating complexity, clients in Sri Lanka often face a difficult choice: the impersonal, rigid scale of a global multinational or the limited capacity and experience of a small local practice.

MCDS was founded to break this inefficient model. The firm provides the robust, world-class commercial and project expertise of a global leader, delivered directly through a dedicated, principal-led team. The MCDS value proposition is unique: clients receive the direct, focused, and daily attention of the firm's principals.

These principals are seasoned industry leaders who carry a 30-year legacy of successfully securing, managing, and delivering over 210 high-value projects with a combined worth exceeding USD $25 billion. This practice is founded on the uncompromising professional and ethical principles of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS). This commitment to transparency, integrity, and technical excellence is the bedrock of every MCDS operation.

The firm provides advice that is not only technically astute but is delivered with the absolute clarity required to make critical, high-value decisions. MCDS functions not as a passive service provider, but as its client's most trusted commercial and project advisor.
