CORPORATE PROFILE
INTRODUCTION: 
 
 
DS Lee Engineering was established in the year 2000. Since then, we have grown aggressively and considerably. Today we are the Leading Civil and Municipal Professional Engineering Company in Richmond, BC in both quality and quantity of work performed. 
 
Although we believe that we already are the finest Civil – Municipal Engineering firm for Land Development projects, we strive to become the preferred one as well.  
 
DS Lee Engineering provides comprehensive Land Development Engineering Services primarily for developments in Richmond and secondarily for developments within the various Municipalities in the Lower Mainland. Ultimately our experience and qualifications allow us to undertake projects throughout British Columbia and beyond. 
 
Although DS Lee Engineering has been in existence for 15 years, it should be noted that Principals and Staff of DS Lee Engineering have been providing these services since the 1980’s. Our Management and Employees have successfully completed numerous complex high profile projects throughout Canada and the United States of America.

Lee, PEng.  Mr. Lee is the President of the corporation.  DS Lee Engineering is wholly and privately owned by Mr. Lee.  The company’s Management consists of a highly qualified and well seasoned team including the following:

THE DS LEE ENGINEERING DIFFERENCE: 
 
DS Lee Engineering is the only remaining Richmond based Civil Engineering Firm specializing in Richmond Land Development which is owned and operated by a Professional Engineer qualified to perform the work. Our competition relies on hiring external Professional Engineers to review and seal their designs and drawings. The DS Lee Engineering way just makes good common sense.

• Our reliability and commitment to the project.
