History of DC Engineering

DC Engineering was founded by David Cutbirth in 1998. While working for a large engineering firm, he saw that most of his design work was being done without context of the client’s bigger picture purposes and goals. He realized that a deeper level of understanding and stronger relationships with various project stakeholders would mean he could truly help contribute to a client’s long term success – not just complete a project.

This insight led to the founding of DC Engineering. From the beginning, David provided his design services with a ‘seek first to understand’ mentality. This approach resulted in good solid design, and led to clients trusting him with larger and more complex projects as he further established relationships with them and other business partners. With that simple practice in place and successful projects being completed, the company began drawing talented individuals, who likewise saw the value in prioritizing people and relationships.

Today, DC Engineering continues to attract highly talented people with complimentary skill sets across many engineering disciplines. Project execution and focus on client success has led to many longstanding relationships with both large & small clients. Collaborative efforts with industry partners have led to many nationally recognized and environmentally sustainable initiatives. And, we are actively involved in our communities, living out the fact that engineering is changing our world for the better, one project at a time.
