Services of DeCarlo & Doll, Inc.

Click for Our Welcome Page

Architecture...Our design process begins long before a single line is drawn, in extensive interviews with the people who will be using the building...and those who will be funding it. All possible program considerations are explored...some of which are elicited through our diverse and extensive experience...helping clients to avoid short-sighted decisions and missed opportunities.

Our ability to consult with our other in-house professionals and specialists at a moment's notice accounts for long-term effectiveness of our work. Our single source capability presents you with complete and well integrated plans, which yield dependable cost estimates and competitive construction proposals.

Community considerations are weighted heavily...the geography, personality, economics and architectural fabric of the area. We talk to government officials, potential building users and owners of homes and businesses surrounding the proposed site. We must affirm that your final plans reflect your concern for being a good neighbor.

We are not in business of creating architectural monuments. We design cost-efficient, functional, budget-conscious and attractive buildings. We count ourselves successful only when our work truly reflects the aspirations of our clients, be they industry, commerce, government, law enforcement, education or the military...whether new construction, alteration, reconstruction or rehabilitation. Our excitement in a project is a mirror of your own. Your pride of achievement is our best recommendation.

Engineering-Structural-Mechanical-Electrical...Our Engineers blend their specialized knowledge with our in-house project experience and spice it with a good helping of technical imagination. Clients gain the advantage of alternative system designs; life-cycle cost savings through long-term system and structural integrity. We even anticipate code changes by applying our passion for pro-active "good practice" for your benefit and safety.

We commit our resources fully, whatever the project - new construction, retrofit or rehab - "threshold building" review - prime work in one field - or complete responsibility for engineering design of all systems. Our goal is your satisfaction with your project for years after completion. We design thoughtfully to gain your repeat business.

Engineering-Civil...Today taxpayers are "infrastructure-conscious", looking to you to ensure the continued integrity and ecological soundness of the systems for your project, whether you are a private developer or a government entity. That is why many municipal, state and federal agencies depend on DeCarlo & Doll, Inc.

Full project responsibility is lodged with one individual, our Project Team Leader...your single, reliable contact, working for you through the maze of system requirements, inland wetlands regulations, zoning, design alternatives, aesthetic considerations, neighborhood and traffic impact, construction management, on-site inspection, and the ever growing lists of regulatory entities.

The full expertise of the DeCarlo & Doll Team is at the Team Leader's disposal at all times...just a step away: hydrology and hydraulics, traffic engineering, landscape architecture, sanitary and utility engineering, roadway design, site planning and any other civil engineering expertise required to complete your project.


The power of teamwork results in economy up front: a more accurate bid package; more reliable bonding and financing figures. Our economy in design is driven by your need for the longest useful life at minimum maintenance costs over the long term. Our success is measured by community satisfaction in a public works job well done.

Surveying and Mapping...Accuracy is the absolute given in survey assignments. Working with your project needs in mind, our surveyors use the latest equipment to notate, computerize, calculate and record measurements for property lines, rights-of-way and easements. The result is a certified-accurate property line and easement map.

Construction stake-outs, lot corners, as-built surveys, road lines and utility services surveys demand and receive equally exact consideration by our surveyors.

Using our knowledge of your design framework in conjunction with state-certified soil scientists, our surveyors precisely portray wetland / topographic relationships for compliance with environmental regulatory agencies. We provide complete aerial mapping services and provide ground control for your mapper. We execute GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite mapping to expedite your project schedule.

The competence of our survey team is another dependable link in the full range of services available to you.

Planning...as experienced planning professionals, our knowledge of the regulations and procedures of boards and commissions is complete. We work on a person to person basis with regulatory officials so you can enjoy the smoothest possible approval process. The DeCarlo & Doll team is proud of its high degree of credibility with local officials. We continually maintain contact with the regulatory agencies to make certain you avoid the possibility of costly delays and less-than-positive publicity.

We assist you in successful public presentations and project marketing as your plan progresses through the approval process. We research financing alternatives and have been successful in steering clients toward timely grant approvals.

DeCarlo & Doll adheres to one overriding premise: "Mutual understanding and sharing responsibilities for the achievement of a common goal."

Construction Management...instrumental in achieving successful construction projects and with a wide variety of contracting methods and project delivery systems.

We sit with the owner and discuss the issues involved with accomplishing a project, such as time and cost constraints, the need for flexibility, preconstruction service needs, design process interaction, and financial constraints...issues not all owners feel comfortable with. Our construction managers enhance and reinforce the strengths of the owner; providing a comprehensive set of skills to accomplish the project.

We provide a clear understanding of ways to organize a project, and develop a method to satisfy the needs of owners and projects. All projects share the same basic set of players: the owner, the construction manager (CM), the design professional(s), other consultants, the general contractor, other prime contractors, and subcontractors...communication and experience are key factors to a successful project.

Construction Management is a discipline and management system uniquely tailored to the planning, design and construction process of capital projects. Our CM professionals address the needs of projects and owners by providing them with a program of management services and expertise tailored to specific project needs; independent of the chosen contract form or project delivery method. It is this "management system" that makes our CM professionals unique...we take the guess work and confusion out of the project. Our construction managers apply and integrate comprehensive project controls to manage the critical issues of time, cost and quality control.

As an owner we know it is necessary for you to choose a project delivery system and a contracting method, which will efficiently deliver the project. Our Construction Management expertise has been used successfully in all contracting methods and delivery systems, and by owners who do not have the staff or the expertise necessary to deal with the complex responsibilities involved with the management of major projects. We help the owner identify which delivery system is best for the project...from concept to completion...we have the answers.

Telecommunications...we plan, design and inspect your cabling installations and provide ongoing cable management services. We test your cabling system to determine its actual performance capabilities.

Not only can we speed things up in your new or existing building right now, but we are experts in defining long-term cabling solutions that anticipate your future needs. We can keep your network safe from obsolescence by designing a cabling system that has the flexibility to accommodate new technologies and anticipate your changing operational needs.

Because we know the construction industry so well, you are assured that building infrastructure and cabling are compatible and installed to specification and in code compliance.

You can be confident that your cabling project is properly engineered, specified and managed.
