DMC was founded by Mike Laws, Dan Bruton and Cevat Catana. DMC was formed to challenge the status quo inengineering consulting.
The three of us met working together while at EBA/Tetra Tech on some of British Columbia’s major infrastructureprojects including the Port Mann bridge replacement and Evergreen Line SkyTrain project in Vancouver as well asAnthony Henday Drive in Edmonton.
In 2015, we brought our trusted working relationship to a BC-based engineering consultancy that had no geotechnicalpresence. What started as a blank slate quickly evolved into one of Western Canada’s most respected geotechnicalteams. Over the course of a decade, we built that team from the ground up, scaling to nearly 50 skilled professionalsand earning a reputation for excellence across the region.
Our growth wasn’t just in numbers — it was in impact. We secured multi-year contracts with major clients includingMetro Vancouver, BC Hydro, the Ministry of Transportation and Transit, FortisBC, Wood, BC Housing, numerous FirstNations, and top-tier Prime Consultants. These partnerships were built on trust, technical rigor, and a relentlesscommitment to quality.
Today, we carry that same spirit forward at DMC Consulting. We continue to build teams, forge lasting relationships,and deliver innovative engineering solutions.
