57 Design and Build 2020 BUILD Nov19312 BUILD Q1 2020 18 Nov19312 ince the firm’s founding in 2010, Decon has provided a myriad of structural and civil engineering services across the United States. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, the company also has offices in Atlanta, Georgia, and Arlington, Virginia. Over the last ten years, the firm has provided detailed, conceptual and schematic project development; bridge and structural analysis design; plans, specifications, and estimates; bridge and structural inspection; and bridge condition assessments amongst many other services. Alongside the firm’s wealth of consultancy services, it also specializes in construction management for clients in both the public and private sectors. Ten years on from the initial formation of the firm, it has continued to dedicate many of its technologies and services to structural and civil engineering in the transportation sector. One of the most significant services that the firm provides includes bridge design, as well as structural work on highways and roadways. Transport is a vital part of the US economy, as well as being a primary method of transport for citizens visiting family and friends across the country. At the end of the day, roadways and highways form a crucial part of America’s infrastructure, and Decon’s commitment to designing them right is invaluable. Operating under the wise leadership of company president and owner, Mr Fulvio Jaramillo, Decon strives to use only the best and most innovative engineering technologies currently available within the industry. Mr Jaramillo brings more than thirty-five years of experience within the structural and civil engineering industry to his leadership role, having participated on some of the most significant projects across Texas, Georgia, and Virginia. During the years prior to Decon, Mr Jaramillo worked as Engineering Manager, Project Manager, and Engineer of Record for some of the biggest consulting firms in America. At its core, Decon strives to be a client-focused company above all else. Upon working with any new client, much the same as in construction, there is a firm foundation and relationship of mutual trust established from the beginning. Having laid down the foundation of trust, the walls of respect and constant communication go up as a project comes together. Together, the client and Decon begin to more fully realize a project and achieve goals on both sides. More pieces are added to the construction, in the form of Decon’s technological tools, quality-assurance, and inspiring confidence. Building The Highways Of The Future When working on any building project, having a solid and firm foundation is absolutely essential. After all, those very foundations decide whether or not a project ultimately stands the test of time. Ensuring that all of its structural, civil, and construction projects are strong is Decon LLC, named in BUILD Magazine as this year’s Best Structural & Civil Engineering Consultancy for the state of Texas. Eager to find out more, we profiled the firm to find out how it has secured enduring success in the sector. S All the tools necessary for a strong partnership, and therefore expert structural or civil engineering consultancy service, are there. In Mr Jaramillo’s own words, he explains how the importance of focusing on founding principles of trust, communication, and quality assurance continues to set Decon apart in the industry. “I believe what sets our company apart from others is the fact that our goal is to provide excellent service that we always accomplish. As stated above, trust, communication, and quality assurance are very important components to us as a successful engineering services provider. Having constant communication ensures clients feel valued, which in return gives us loyal repeat customers. Having the technical expertise for our projects promotes trust from our clients and allows us to provide impeccable results.” Being such a client-centric firm, the assurance that quality requirements will always be fulfilled is key to what Decon offers its clients. Making sure those quality requirements are fulfilled are the team of dedicated staff, including Mr Jaramillo himself. However, crucial to the atmosphere of teamwork that Mr Jaramillo has worked so hard to achieve is the hiring process. Speaking to us, Mr Jaramillo highlighted exactly why his team works so well together. “I prefer to employ non-experienced personnel and build them into successful components of my company, thereby, enhancing their personal and professional growth. I have an open-door policy and encourage my team to ask questions and to not hesitate to ask for guidance when required. I have two main key principles to which I adhere - organization and respect. These are two fundamental principles within the structure of my company.” Ultimately, it is a combination of Mr Jaramillo’s expertise, and the firm’s unwillingness to compromise on delivering excellence that has seen Decon become one of the best firms in the states of Texas, Georgia, and Virginia for structural and civil engineering. Bridges and highways connect people, and by connecting with clients, more people are being brought together than ever before courtesy of Decon.
