Business
Doboku Kanri Sogo Shikenjo Co., Ltd. is a comprehensive testing and survey services company for civil engineering and construction works, founded in 1985. At its core is a one-stop service integrating Soil & Geological Survey Testing, Non-Destructive Inspection Testing, and Environmental Survey Testing, complemented by ground reinforcement, structural reinforcement, and soil remediation construction (Construction Services), as well as software development and sales for civil engineering and construction applications (Software Development & Sales). The group operates nationwide through a structure including 5 consolidated subsidiaries, with main customers comprising public works contracting entities such as national and local governments, as well as private construction companies. Listed on the Standard Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
Business Model
The core of earnings is a one-stop service that receives orders for the various legally mandated testing and surveys of civil engineering construction work, covering everything from the pre-construction stage through post-completion maintenance management. While the business is founded on a labor-intensive structure that accumulates a high volume of small-lot cases—approximately 28,000 cases annually at an average order value of around ¥220 thousand—the group aims to improve overall profitability through franchise (FC) expansion of its sales area (currently 10 stores), cost ratio reduction via offshore design and analysis using its Vietnamese subsidiary, and profitability supplementation from the highly profitable software business (operating margin of approximately 29%).
Company Strengths
Established a system capable of receiving integrated orders for Soil & Geological Survey Testing, Non-Destructive Inspection Testing, and Environmental Survey Testing under a single group. Through nationwide deployment including testing centers across the country (Central, Eastern Japan, Western Japan, etc.), 10 FC franchise outlets, and the Ishikawa branch office, the company can respond promptly to both public and private sector customers.
The company owns the RSV (survey vehicle), a high-speed mobile non-contact 3D radar capable of conducting radar surveys while traveling at speeds of approximately 80km/h. Combined with high-speed analysis using AI and proprietary algorithms, this enables efficient surveys without requiring lane restrictions on highways or during railway non-operating hours. The company also participates as a cooperating institution in the Cabinet Office's 3rd Phase SIP (Strategic Innovation Promotion Program).
In FY2025, Testing & Inspection Services achieved segment operating profit of ¥1,252 million on segment sales of ¥6,129 million, representing an operating margin of 20.4%. Software Development & Sales also maintained high profitability with an operating margin of approximately 29.2% (sales of ¥674 million, operating profit of ¥197 million), supporting the group's overall earnings base.
ENVALITH's Perspective
Performance Trend
Revenue over the past five fiscal years has hovered in a flat range of ¥6,999 million to ¥7,696 million, but the first quarter of FY2026 (ending December 2026) showed clear acceleration at ¥2,137 million (+18.1% year-on-year). Operating profit bottomed at ¥474 million in FY2023 before improving to ¥581 million in FY2024 and ¥670 million in FY2025, and the first quarter of FY2026 (ending December 2026) saw a sharp improvement to ¥289 million, up 68.6% from ¥171 million in the same period a year earlier. As an external factor, the full-scale implementation phase of national resilience (land strengthening) policy measures and continued disaster recovery demand are providing tailwinds. As internal factors, improved cost ratios driven by the use of AI and automation, containment of outsourcing costs, and strengthened collaboration with the Vietnamese subsidiary are contributing to the rise in profit margins. The equity ratio stands at 72.1%, maintaining financial soundness as well.
Growth Strategy
Aiming for sustainable growth through four pillars: establishing a high-profitability structure, expanding the FC area network, leveraging digital technology, and utilizing overseas offshore operations
Against the backdrop of the "First National Resilience Implementation Medium-Term Plan" (totaling over approximately ¥20 trillion) for FY2026–FY2030, the company aims to expand orders across all areas of Soil & Geological Survey Testing, Non-Destructive Inspection Testing, and Environmental Survey Testing. In the first quarter of FY2026 (ending March 2026)... progress is proceeding smoothly, with segment sales of ¥1,732 million (up 14.1% year on year) and operating profit of ¥457 million (up 32.2% year on year).
Leveraging in-house developed 3D radar-equipped vehicles for high-speed survey and analysis, the company is deploying maintenance services to replace conventional visual inspections. Through participation as a cooperating institution in the Cabinet Office-led third-phase SIP (Smart Infrastructure Management System) program, the company aims to achieve social implementation of research outcomes and enhance technological capabilities. In parallel, the company is also strengthening its group-wide collaborative framework for providing 3D management design documentation in line with the progress of BIM/CIM mandates.
Through the expansion of FC store deployment and the continued operation of the Ishikawa branch office, the company is building a system capable of responding promptly to disasters occurring nationwide. It is promoting the expansion of its order-taking base through area expansion, as well as workload leveling and optimization of labor efficiency through broad-based collaboration between locations. In the first quarter of FY2026 (ending December 2026), inter-location collaboration was also confirmed to have contributed to improved profitability.
Through strengthened collaboration with the Vietnamese subsidiary (C.E.LAB INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD), the company is conducting part of its design and analysis operations at its overseas base, aiming to improve operational efficiency and productivity while maintaining quality. This initiative, aimed at addressing the domestic shortage of engineers and building a sustainable business operation structure, is contributing to the establishment of a high-profitability structure through reduced cost ratios.
Effective January 1, 2026, the company absorbed its wholly owned subsidiary ISP Co., Ltd. (development and sales of civil engineering surveying and design program packages) through merger, achieving greater efficiency in management resources and administrative structure within the group's Software Development & Sales business. However, in the first quarter of FY2026 (ending December 2026), new customer acquisition in the Software Development & Sales business fell short of initial expectations, resulting in a decline in sales to ¥145 million (down 7.4% year on year); an early recovery in orders remains a challenge.
