OUR STORY

Our Story 

TDS Architects + Engineers is a merging of two companies Total Engineering Services Inc. and DKY Architects.   Completed in early 2025 the combined companies provide architectural services, civil and structural engineering, interior design and construction services.   

The two companies, founded approximately 20 years ago, have combined to provide a broader range of services, excellent customer service and a personal approach to each project.   

TDS Architects + Engineers provides a complete turn-key service from initial concept to construction.   The team is enthusiastic about design and developing solutions that fit the clients’ needs, budget and site conditions.  The firm follows the project from start to finish working with agencies and collaborating with the project consultants, agencies and stakeholders.

TDS-AE Process

Each project is assigned a project lead.   A data collection process is performed to establish goals and criteria to base the design on.  Using Cad drafting technology visual images and exhibits are generated to convey ideas and designs that involve the client in the decision-making process.  The principals are involved in every stage of the project to guide the project and provide oversight.   

Architecture and engineering documents go through an in-house quality control review for completeness, constructability and interdisciplinary coordination.    

TDS-AE works closely with agencies to secure entitlement and permit approval.  Meetings are held with agency representatives to establish project criteria and review assumptions.  

Sustainability is considered for every project, this includes material selection, building envelope design, air conditioning systems, renewable energy, water conservation and lighting.
