Where We Serve

The DKO Difference

Valuable Insights & Clarity

We collect and present data in a format that allows you to understand the loss better and use the information to make informed decisions.

Creative Solutions

We consider what’s structurally possible and often offer several alternatives and options to a problem.

Uphold Excellence

Our reports are thorough with keen attention to detail, providing definitive answers and full recommendations we stand behind. 

Accessible & Prompt

Only a phone call away, we can often start a project within a few days, as timing is critical when losses occur or impending construction.

Relationship-Focused

We’re dedicated to building strong, lasting relationships with clients and colleagues.   

Our Services

Forensic Engineering

We provide damage and failure assessments for structural losses related to wind, water, fire, hail, or impact and can serve as an expert in court.

Structural Engineering

We evaluate a building’s extent and scope of damage and create structural repair designs. We design residential and commercial structures.

Construction Defect Analysis

We review the documents, identify the deficiencies, scope the damage, estimate the damage cost, and determine a claim’s validity.

What Our Clients Say

“DKO is the first call I make to walk me through challenging problems or recommendations on a repair, whether they’re on file or not. They discuss specifics on how to manage losses more effectively. I appreciate their ability to respond and get answers due to being more thorough in the report with no ambiguities.”

Matt Lohmann, Engle Martin and Associates

“The biggest benefit is when they deliver regardless of the desired outcome based on the investigation. They call it like it is. Some engineers give you what you want versus what is actually correct or right. We trust whatever he has found.”

Will Smith, McLarens
