DCCM

What DCCM does

DCCM is a national provider of design, consulting, and program & construction management professional services focused on infrastructure markets across the public and private sectors. The company delivers multidisciplinary engineering, architecture, planning, surveying, GIS, landscape architecture, MEP, and program management through an integrated platform spanning over 40 offices in California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Texas. Core service lines include Transportation, Water & Wastewater, Municipal, Land & Site Development, Power, Utilities, Surveying, Buildings & Places, and Program Management, addressing aging U.S. infrastructure needs such as a $625 billion drinking water and $690 billion wastewater/stormwater funding gap through 2044.

The company was built through an aggressive acquisition strategy beginning in 2021 under White Wolf Capital sponsorship, with twelve-plus acquired brands (Binkley & Barfield, R.G. Miller Engineers, Rochester & Associates, Coastland Civil Engineering, Miller Survey Group, RQAW, MDG, Urban Engineering, Southstar Engineering, Chastain-Skillman, Peoples & Quigley, and Dynamic Solutions) retained as wholly-owned subsidiaries and now being consolidated under a single DCCM brand. DCCM generates revenue through fee-based professional services engagements, with pricing determined per project based on scope, complexity, and client type. Distribution is direct via RFQ/RFP processes and qualification-based selection targeting enterprise government agencies (DOTs, counties, municipalities, water districts, education institutions) and selected private-sector clients (developers, corporations, utilities). Marketing is sales-led, supported by ENR 2026 rankings (#89 Top Professional Services, #124 Top 500 Design Firms) and ACEC awards.

In 2025, Court Square Capital Partners acquired a majority stake from White Wolf Capital, with CEO James F. (Jim) Thompson leading a stated objective of doubling the company in size over five years through continued acquisitions. The company is headquartered in Houston, Texas, employs between 1,001 and 5,000 people, and operates as DCCM, LLC, a Delaware-incorporated private entity. The technology stack is built on traditional engineering tools, with the platform's primary technical differentiator being integration and interoperability across disciplines rather than proprietary software or AI capabilities.

Broad incumbents

• Stantec: Stantec is a global engineering, architecture, and environmental services firm with a strong water and community development practice. It overlaps with DCCM across water/wastewater, transportation, and land development, but at much larger scale and with broader geographic reach.
• Tetra Tech: Tetra Tech is a publicly traded engineering and consulting firm with leading water and environmental practices. Its water/wastewater expertise and federal/state client base overlap meaningfully with DCCM's water resources segment.
• Kimley-Horn: Kimley-Horn is one of the largest privately held U.S. engineering consultancies, with strong transportation, land development, and water practices. As a private firm with similar sub-segments, it is a comparable competitor for public-sector and private development projects.
• HDR: HDR is a large, employee-owned architecture/engineering firm with deep transportation, water, and buildings practices. While much larger and broader in scope than DCCM, it competes for many of the same municipal and DOT program management contracts.
• AECOM: AECOM is a Fortune 500 infrastructure consulting firm with deep transportation, water, and environment practices. It competes for large program management and design mandates where DCCM is also pursuing work, but at much greater scale.
• WSP Global: WSP is a global engineering services firm that acquired Wood's E&I business and competes across transportation, water, and environmental infrastructure. It is a direct competitor for large municipal and DOT programs but operates at significantly greater scale and geographic reach.
• Burns & McDonnell: Burns & McDonnell is a large, employee-owned engineering, architecture, and construction firm with strong water, power, and transportation practices. It competes for similar program management mandates from municipalities and utilities.
• Jacobs Solutions: Jacobs is a major global engineering services firm with significant water, transportation, and program management capabilities following its CMS/Critical Mission Solutions spin. It competes for the largest public-sector infrastructure programs where DCCM also bids.

Direct peers

• TRC Companies: TRC is a PE-backed (Warburg Pincus) engineering and consulting firm focused on infrastructure, environmental, and energy clients. Its PE-backed M&A-driven growth model and infrastructure-heavy service mix closely mirror DCCM's strategy and customer base.
• NV5 Global: NV5 is a publicly traded provider of infrastructure, environmental, and geospatial professional services that has scaled aggressively through acquisitions. Like DCCM, it targets transportation, water, and public-sector clients, making it one of the closest publicly traded analogues for DCCM's roll-up strategy.
