Operating Principles
Investing in people and relationships is foundational to our success
From its inception, DC Engineering has sought to use our skills and resources to enrich the lives of the people around us – our
employees, our clients, our business partners, and those in our communities. That premise is the bedrock of our culture, and why we exist.
This simple approach has drawn many highly talented and like-minded people to join us. It also fosters a powerful business climate of collaboration and trust which ultimately enables us to fulfill our vision of contributing to the success of our clients.
Established Relationships are Foundational to Success
DC has been built on relationships. When relationships are prioritized, people and projects will flourish. Solid relationships are built upon trust, which paves the way for good communication, effective execution, and developing sound, innovative solutions.
Continuous Learning Leads to Impactful Advancements
Engineering changes our world! We are passionate about developing and implementing new products and services for our clients and in the markets we serve. Many of our team members have long-standing partnerships with people throughout the country, working to develop and apply engineering principles and technologies in new and creative ways.
Fostering Collaboration Maximizes Value
We rely upon the expertise and experience of our team members to bring their talents to any given project. We embrace open communication and understanding, listen intently, ask the penetrating questions, and work to deliver successful projects.
Diverse Areas of Expertise Lead to Unique Solutions
We are diverse but unified by our culture of prioritizing people and relationships in order to create value for clients. Our competence in diverse areas has led us to work in areas that traditional consulting engineering firms typically do not operate, enabling us to offer unique solutions for our clients.
Practicing fiscal responsibility throughout the firm
Fiscal responsibility aids in resource allocation, mitigating risks, and enabling strategic decision making. Ultimately, it is a critical factor for long-term stability, and leads to opportunities for growth as well as the success of our internal and external clients.
Sustainability as a critical consideration
A sustainable mindset is forward-looking. It considers the long term economic, operational, environmental, and relational outcomes of one’s decisions and actions on the built environment. Balancing these longer term considerations in light of client requirements, codes and regulations, and interpersonal dynamics is a critical skill set that is developed over time and is essential to enduring client relationships.
