Introduction & Philosophy

In the beginning...

DTR Consulting Services, a general partnership was originally founded as "Design Technical Resources" (DTR) company in late 2002 with two business partners to provide quality technical resource services to Architectural/Engineering firms.

Later renamed, DTR Consulting Services opened its new office in February 2003 at 19th & T Street in Sacramento, California.  Within twelve months, the office relocated to Rocklin, closer to one of its largest Architectural clients.  DTR Consting Services incorporated in the state of California in August of 2005. DTR Consulting Services, Inc. now consists of two principals, an Associate in the Firm with a full complement of technical staff to provide the best technical services to our clients

In December 2007 DTR relocated to a much larger office in the heart of the Roseville business district. 

In February 2003, the founder Thomas Berger left a full-time position as the Senior Associate/Office Director with the Sacramento Office of a national Architectural firm, after managing the office from an initial 4 employees to a staff of 26 in 2002, becoming the 4th most profitable office of nineteen offices nationally.  Observing that most Northern California firms were struggling to find good senior architects, technical specification writers and seasoned construction administrators, he set out to develop a business plan to create a new company aimed at providing technical services to area architectural and engineering firms.

Today the firm has seven employees, two principals, an Associate in the Firm, two board members and three stockholders.  The firm remains committed to grow its client base and expand its staff with employees eager to grow with the company.  We have since provided services to over 30 architectural and engineering firms throughout the western United States.  Our projects have ranged from under $1M to over $638M on a single project. Over the past 5 years, DTR Consulting Services has contracted work on over one hundred individual projects for a total combined construction cost of $3 billion dollars.
