LOGIN WHO WE ARE WHAT WE DO Retail Contributing to our clients’ success…and helping to shape the industry DC Engineering’s Retail Market teams are passionate about understanding and employing the most cost effective, sustainable solutions in order to meet our client’s expectations. From the largest retail chains, to the boutique establishments, businesses have trusted us to help provide engineering solutions to meet their specific project goals, as well as their overall business needs. Members of the team are licensed across the country, actively participate on ASHRAE, ARI and NASRC committees, and LEED© accredited by the US Green Building Council (USGBC). Operational Expertise Tom Wolgamot is a nationally recognized leader in retail facilities engineering, and principal in charge of DC’s Retail Markets group. Our long-standing partnerships with clients in the retail sector stem from the fact that many of our senior staff have been employed by facilities engineering groups in large national grocery store chains. We understand the responsibilities and challenges involved in design criteria, on-going retrofits, energy upgrades, and operational and maintenance issues at owner/operator facilities and campuses. This understanding has led us to make investments in other skill sets and disciplines beyond MEPS design to help our clients address those areas. We now have personnel with substantial experience in contracting, compliance, commissioning, operational technologies, maintenance, and other field experience in the retail sector. Helping to enable environmentally-friendly solutions Our retail market teams are also passionate about leveraging science and innovative technologies in order to create practical and environmentally-friendly solutions, specifically in the areas of energy efficiency and refrigeration. DC Engineering is known across the country for its efforts to partner with clients and others in industry to pioneer the development and foster the adoption of these solutions.

Our Disciplines I’ve worked with DC Engineering for 7 years now on a wide variety of projects – everything from new stores, to remodels, to small one-offs. Some of the projects have been straightforward; others have been super complicated on tight timeframes. Although I know the DC team does great design work, the things that come to mind for me as a construction manager are their dedication to doing the job right, and their commitment to hitting deadlines, regardless of what we throw at them.
