Our engineering services are the core of creating structurally sound and innovative solutions for simple and complex projects. With a strong focus on durability, efficiency, and sustainability, our team meticulously integrates the latest technologies and materials into each design. Catering to a wide range of needs, including structural and civil engineering, we deliver precision and expertise across residential, commercial, and industrial projects. Our engineering practices ensure resilience, safety, and cost-effectiveness, driving the success of every project we undertake.

DirigoAE is a highly specialized discipline that orchestrates the complexity of planning, coordination, and execution required to bring a building to life. A construction project manager serves as the critical conductor, ensuring that every aspect of the project—from securing permits and materials to scheduling subcontractors and managing budgets—aligns with the strategic plan. Ultimately delivering the finished structure on time, within budget, and to the client’s satisfaction.

3D modeling and virtual walkthroughs revolutionize the way we envision spaces, offering an immersive experience that bridges the gap between concept and reality. These cutting-edge tools allow you to explore and interact with a space before it’s physically built, making it possible to tweak designs, experiment with materials, and make informed decisions early in the planning process. Beyond just visual aids, these virtual experiences provide a valuable opportunity for collaboration and innovation, ensuring that the final outcome aligns perfectly with the envisioned project. By incorporating 3D modeling and virtual walkthroughs into the design phase, we unlock a new dimension of creativity and precision.

Partnership

Our process is rooted in transparency and collaboration. From the first meeting to the final punch list, the DirigoAE team remains engaged and at your side, from idea to occupancy. This partnership guarantees clear communication, which leads to projects being delivered on time and within budget. Our goal is to exceed expectations at every opportunity.

Sustainability

At DirigoAE, sustainability isn’t just an add-on—it’s central to our approach. We prioritize energy-efficient designs and environmentally responsible practices in both new construction and renovations. Our team ensures compliance with all necessary codes, including ADA, life safety, and energy regulations. With one of Maine’s first LEED Accredited Professionals at the helm of DirigoAE, our founder and president also served on the University of Maine’s adjunct faculty, teaching sustainability curriculum to engineering students.
