Founded in 1940, Degenkolb Engineers’ practice reflects more than seven decades of commitment to technical expertise, exceptional client service through close collaboration, and life-long learning. Their innovative structural designs have saved clients hundreds of millions of dollars and are delivered by taking full advantage of their expertise and experience.

The firm is distinguished by the ability to communicate complex technical issues in a way that their clients understand. Technical innovation derived through participation in the development of seismic codes and evaluation guidelines is a hallmark of their staff development. Their engineers have led or participated in the development of every US based seismic code used today. Because they know them so well they look beyond existing standards to what their clients need to know next.

Their employees are passionate about working in collaborative environments which help their healthcare, higher education, advanced technology, construction, and existing building clients achieve outstanding project results. They believe in a holistic approach to structural design, construction means and methods, and risk consulting.

They understand their clients have competing demands for their projects.  Active listening and team integration result in the best solutions for each of their clients not just the best structural/seismic system. Their client-centric approach includes developing multiple options, advising teams on possibilities, and revisions based on the needs of the overall project.

They listen, reflect, consult, and advise. Their customized structural solutions meet every project need whether those needs are meeting stringent codes, meeting a bottom line, sticking to a hard construction schedule, or developing a structural system that creates a landmark.
