Hi Derek we would like to thank you and your team for exceptional and professional service. Your willingness to accommodate customer needs and creative anchor designs make it a pleasure to deal with your company. Being on the west coast creates some new challenges but you are always ready to step up the game and make things work.  We look forward to dealing with you on our future projects.

We have worked with Derek and his team for many years and have received services in natural stone cladding, engineering and shop drawings on almost every one of our commercial or residential projects. Derek and his team set expectations early on deliverables and produce high quality work which reduces the need for re-submittals to our clients. If you are looking for a natural stone engineer that can provide realistic guidance when it comes to actually completing the work on site and providing solutions to multiple challenges, I would recommend DL engineering.

DL Engineering has been a valuable part of our team for many years now.  We have great appreciation for Derek and his team for their quality of work, reliability and their commitment to working in a timely manner. We also thank them for their emphasis on open communication and collaboration, fairness and professionalism; Much appreciated!

Our firm worked with Derek & his staff from DLE on multiple projects, with stone exterior cladding. The New Westminster Civic Center, confirmed that we made the right choice in partnering with DLE on the project. Designed with extremely complex angles, and utilizing new substructure systems from Europe, never used before in Canada, DLE took the time to learn the systems and turn a complicated project, that spanned four times zones and multiple languages, into a clearly communicated set of production and installation drawings. The quality of their drawings is what differentiates DLE from other firms. While the information is plentiful, it is clear, concise and methodological. A project this complex, was delivered on time and won design awards for it’s exterior. Thank you Derek!

Star Tile has relied on DL Engineering for their professional experience with stone shop drawings and anchoring systems for many years now.

Their team, Derek, Loreta and Andrew are knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with, and always ready to put in the extra effort when required.

We look forward to more opportunity to work with DL Engineering in the future.

I have been working with Derek for over 10 years now on a wide variety of building projects. It is a comfort to know that I can always depend on his team to find the right engineering solutions for any of our stone design challenges.

We have had the pleasure of working with Derek Lai and his team at D.L. Engineering on a few projects in Montreal, and thanks to his knowledge and expertise, the results have exceeded the client’s expectations. Both his knowledge of traditional anchoring methods, and his ability to adapt to various site conditions with innovative approaches to stone anchoring has allowed us to successfully complete all these projects, on time and within budget.

Having worked with Derek on several projects across Canada, I quickly realized that he has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the stone industry. Always open to discussion, his professionalism and reliability is paramount. He has surrounded himself with a very capable and dynamic team who care about the customer’s needs. Derek has become a MUST in stone consulting and we look forward to working with him for years to come.

We have enlisted the services of DL Engineering to produce shop drawings, assist with product quality control and to perform job site inspections.  We found their work to be extremely professional in that they are thorough and accurate. The response time is excellent and we get clear and helpful reports, quickly.  When presented with time challenges, they met or exceeded our expectations.
