DMC provide various consultancy services for overall betterment of projects including “peer design review”. This has been proved to be of utmost benefit to clients in ensuring desired refinements in all the constructability aspects at the planning stage itself. specialises in codal provision analysis, pre-construction surveys, scrutiny and assessments of planning provisions, structural detailing, contractual documents, material specifications and also testing of new construction materials.

DMC in-house team of expert structural engineers caters to other services like construction management, repairs, turnkey projects and proof consultancy. On many occasions, our services are availed specially for the intricate problems in specialized structural designs and planning.

Most of the analysis is carried out by simulation with mathematical models, sketches, technical reports and three-dimensional analysis, linear and non-linear dynamic analysis of structures.

Drafting Division is a sub-organization of the Structures Division. The draftsmen are fully trained in the development of very sophisticated drawings for all kinds of extremely complex and intricate projects. Computer aided drafting, using the software package AutoCAD is also contributing towards improved productivity and improved quality of drawings.
