About DCI Engineers

With offices spanning from Alaska to the East Coast, DCI leverages a regional presence with national experience in 20 markets. Heading up these markets are DCI’s thought leaders who bring a specialized focus for our project partners and a company-wide technical resource for our 350+ employees.

This sharing of knowledge translates to DCI’s everyday operations. From cross-office collaboration to integrating the latest technologies, DCI is through-and-through a partner, because it’s not just about what we do but what we can do together that makes a difference.

Engineering services in the states of Michigan, New York, and North Carolina are provided through DCI Engineers, P.C.

Our Core Values

Since 1988, our work has been shaped by the values we share. They guide how we partner, solve problems, and show up for our clients and the communities we build in.

Entrepreneurial

We inspire a culture that is bold and dynamic, where everyone is empowered to take ownership of their work and explore new ways to achieve success.

Collaborative

We ask questions, share ideas and expertise, and use each person's potential to create value for our clients.

Resilient

We maintain a nimble, flexible structure that takes advantage of challenges and change rather than resisting it.

Creative

We encourage creativity and trying new things, and eliminate the word “no” in favor of “yes, and…”

Community

We prioritize people and relationships — our teams, our clients, and the neighborhoods around us — and keep a culture that plays as hard as it works.

Trust

We foster a culture of communication and understanding that builds confidence within our team and with our clients.

Community & Impact

At DCI Engineers, the work is bigger than the structures we design. We build workplaces that reflect the diverse communities we serve and a culture where everyone feels valued, heard, and included, and we support the causes and organizations our people care about.

That commitment shows up in the work too. DCI takes on projects that expand access and opportunity, from affordable housing and senior living to rural schools and hospitals, down to smaller investments like new bike lanes and sidewalks. Connecting people to resources they couldn't reach before is some of our most meaningful work, and giving back is part of who we are.

A Tradition of Good Work with Good People

From the Ground Up... Literally. Two friends--Mark D’Amato and Guy Conversano--open D'Amato Conversano Inc. out of a home basement in Kirkland, Washington. They start small, providing structural design for a local driving range and working on their long game, eventually landing their first large-scale project: an aquarium featuring two large tanks, one for dolphins and the other for sharks.

The DCI Family Grows

The firm reaches a milestone of 300 employees. Part of this growth happens with the acquisition of BCE Structural where DCI expands its office locations in Kalispell, Missoula and Bozeman, Montana.

DCI Becomes a National Firm

DCI's leadership connects with MacIntosh Engineering, a small structural firm with offices in Wilmington, DE and Wayne, PA that shares the same passion for providing clients with top-notch service. It's a match made in heaven and the firms join forces, moving DCI officially into the East Coast market.
