Established in 1916, Diekema Hamann draws from a century of experience providing the highest level of professional design and engineering services.
Our reputation for thoughtful design, innovative solutions, and reliable delivery is built on decades of success servicing clients in the healthcare, education, and government sectors. These core markets, realized through both new construction and complex renovation projects, are the foundation of our firm.
With expertise in both architecture and engineering, DHAE offers a unique combination of passion and experience. We take pride in offering comprehensive design and engineering services focused on finding the right solution for every challenge.
At Diekema Hamann, we are driven by a shared culture of creativity, accountability, and advocacy for our clients. We embrace complex challenges and work tirelessly to improve our communities through design.
Our process is built on an integrated approach to architecture and engineering. We don't believe in closed doors, nor do we allow ego to dictate design solutions. We believe, simply, that great results can only be achieved through interdisciplinary collaboration that responds honestly to the needs of our clients.
Collaborate with us
Our studio sits comfortably at the intersection of large and small: large enough to deftly manage complex, multi-use projects, small enough to provide every client with personal service through dedicated project teams.
Each member of our team brings their unique personality and expertise to the firm on a daily basis. We are highly adventurous, meticulously detail-oriented, thoroughly talented, and extremely knowledgeable about our craft.
