Engineering Services

HVAC, piping and process design, from single family homes to industrial plants. We size equipment for the building that gets built, not the one on paper.

Two decades of feedback from installed systems tells us what holds up in the field and what does not.

Power distribution, lighting and low voltage design, coordinated with the mechanical drawings from the first sketch rather than reconciled at the end.

One firm carries the mechanical and the electrical, so the loads, the panel schedules and the equipment schedules agree.

Industrial process piping through residential plumbing. We design for the people who have to maintain the system in year ten.

Valve access, isolation, drain points and clearances get drawn, not assumed.

Sprinkler, standpipe and fire alarm design for homes, apartment buildings, restaurants and industrial space.

These are the drawings a fire marshal reads closely, so we draw them to be approved on the first submission.

We look at layout, reliability, quality and the engineering fundamentals behind a production line.

An investment casting manufacturer saw a 300 percent productivity increase after we reworked their process.

DCE and associates provide structural design for equipment supports, buildings, additions and process installations.

Helical piles, framing changes and equipment pads on existing structures are routine work here.

Shop level analysis and health risk assessment, backed by an MS in Environmental Engineering and Science.

We work with owners and developers to clear code compliance issues, notices of violation and permit filings.

Our permitting experience in New York City is extensive, which is where most of these problems get expensive.

We inspect the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, fire protection and structure so you know what you are buying before you close.

The same experience that produces the design tells us what a system is actually worth.
