How We Work

Engineering That Understands The Job Site

Our approach is shaped by extensive experience in both structural engineering and construction. With backgrounds spanning hands-on construction, estimating, site supervision, project management, and engineering, our team understands how decisions made on paper translate to cost, schedule, constructability, and the work in the field. We recognize that there is often more than one solution to a structural problem and work closely with contractors, owners, architects, restoration teams, and other consultants to develop practical solutions that meet structural requirements while considering the needs of the project as a whole.

Responsiveness is also a fundamental part of how DSW operates. Whether we are responding to an emergency, working through changing conditions during restoration, or coordinating a planned construction project, our team provides clear direction and fast turnaround to help our clients make decisions and keep their projects moving - on schedule and on budget.
