MEP and building systems consulting for hyperscale data centers and mission-critical facilities
DLB Associates is an MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) and technology consulting firm serving hyperscale data center and mission-critical infrastructure projects. Their tech stack—Revit, AutoCAD, BIM 360, building automation tools (Ignition, BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP), and Microsoft Azure—reflects a firm scaling toward digital-first design and automation. Active hiring of 132+ roles in the last 30 days, heavily weighted toward senior engineering and mechanical/electrical directors, signals aggressive project growth; pain points around compressed schedules, scope automation, and cost control suggest they're absorbing larger, more complex data center commissions.
