About DVB Structural Engineering, PLLC
denis belevitin, pe, se Principal, Lead Structural Engineer
Denis Belevitin founded DVB Structural Engineering in 2023 after more than 15 years of structural engineering experience designing buildings and collaborating with architects, engineers, contractors, and developers throughout the East Coast. His experience spans projects of varying scales and construction types, from custom coastal homes and multifamily developments to mixed-use, commercial, and high-rise buildings. His structural design background includes concrete, masonry, structural steel, cold-formed steel, and timber construction. Over the course of his career, Denis has been fortunate to work alongside exceptionally talented professionals in the architecture and engineering community, including architects shaping new coastal communities in Florida and engineers contributing to the evolving Manhattan skyline. Denis also spent a significant part of his career providing structural engineering, quality control, and independent third-party design review for mission-critical projects for federal clients, primarily at military installations throughout the United States. This work included technically demanding facilities designed for stringent performance requirements and challenging environmental conditions, including a high-bay training facility in the Charleston, South Carolina area designed for both high seismic and high wind demands. These diverse experiences continue to shape DVB's approach to structural engineering: technical rigor, practical problem-solving, attention to detail, and close collaboration with the architect, contractor, and owner. Denis is a licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina and a licensed Structural Engineer (SE) in Georgia and Illinois. He is also a Florida Board Recognized Structural Engineer and an NCEES Model Law Structural Engineer (MLSE).
Reinforced Concrete Design
At DVB Structural Engineering, we thrive on solving complex engineering challenges. And almost every engineering challenge involves the design of reinforced concrete structures. We are experienced in designing concrete shallow and deep foundation systems, soil retaining structures, basement walls, ICF buildings, and CIP concrete frame buildings.
Structural Steel Design
Structural steel is often the most practical and economical solution for many buildings. At DVB Structural Engineering, we have experience in designing structural steel structures for commercial, small industrial, mixed-use, multi-family and single-family housing.
Cold-Formed Steel Design
We provide structural engineering design services for curtain wall systems and load-bearing wall and floor and roof joist systems manufactured from cold-formed steel products.
Concrete Masonry Design
Concrete masonry is often a material of choice for constructing commercial and mixed-use buildings, custom home construction. DVB Structural Engineering will be glad to assist you with the masonry design for your future building.
Timber Design
With over a decade of experience in the design of timber structures for custom homes, small commercial buildings, and multi-family housing, DVB Structural Engineering is a great choice to undertake the design for the structural timber framing system of your building.
Third-Party Structural Review & Professional Opinion
DVB Structural Engineering provides independent third-party structural reviews and professional engineering opinions for designs prepared by others. Our reviews provide clients with an objective, experienced assessment of a structural design, with a focus on safety, code compliance, constructability, efficiency, and overall project value.
Our services include structural design and calculation reviews, value engineering, drawing and detail completeness reviews, constructability assessments, and evaluation of alternative structural solutions. We identify potential design concerns, coordination issues, unnecessary complexity, and opportunities to develop more practical and cost-effective solutions.
We work with owners, architects, contractors, developers, and fellow engineering professionals who need a trusted second opinion or an independent technical review of a structural design.
Our Mission
At DVB Structural Engineering, our mission is to deliver creative and practical structural solutions, regardless of the building type or materials, in a timely manner.
