DMBC

What DMBC does

DM Berg Consultants, P.C. is a structural engineering consulting firm headquartered at 475 Hillside Avenue, Suite 5, Needham, Massachusetts. Founded circa 1960, the firm has operated continuously for more than six decades as a Professional Corporation, providing structural engineering services to building owners, architects, developers, municipalities, state agencies, construction managers, and general contractors primarily across the Northeast United States.

The firm's service offering centers on structural analysis and design for new construction, rehabilitation of existing structures, distress and failure investigation, independent engineering review, and construction administration. Project work spans commercial, institutional, residential, and civic buildings. Technical delivery is led by two active principals — Ali R. Borojerdi, PE, LEED AP (40+ years of experience) and William H. Barry, PE (30+ years of experience) — following the end-of-2025 retirement of principal Thomas G. Heger. The firm maintains multi-state professional engineering licensure across Northeast jurisdictions, supporting cross-state project work.

DM Berg operates as a boutique professional services practice with 11–50 employees, generating revenue through project-based fee engagements rather than through recurring software, subscription, or product channels. There is no disclosed digital product or platform business. The firm competes on technical expertise, multi-decade institutional knowledge, and senior-led client engagement rather than on scale, automation, or pricing leverage. Its strategic posture is continuity over expansion: no acquisitions, funding events, or geographic expansions are documented in the available information.
