DKM Engineering specializes in residential and small commercial foundation design, including concrete, insulated concrete forms (ICF), and preserved wood basements. Our engineers assess soil conditions, structural requirements, and building codes to create durable, code-compliant foundations. We provide detailed plans for new constructions, home additions, and small commercial buildings.
Renovations
We offer engineering support for residential renovations, including load-bearing wall removal, telepost adjustments, and structural modifications. Our team ensures compliance with safety standards while optimizing design efficiency. Services cover basement replacements, window enlargements, and reinforcement of existing structures to meet modern requirements.
Geotechnical Inspections
Our geotechnical inspections evaluate soil stability, slope integrity, and foundation conditions. Using field testing and laboratory analysis, we identify risks like differential settlement or water infiltration. Reports include actionable recommendations for foundation repairs, underpinning, and waterproofing solutions tailored to site-specific conditions.
