25 Years of Building Systems Excellence

Building systems are nothing without people—people to design them, people to build them, people to use them. This simple observation lies at the heart of Guth DeConzo. We approach our work with a level of personal attention and dedication that is nearly impossible to find elsewhere. It's why one of our principals is hands-on with every project, why we maintain a continual presence on job sites, why we sit down with you after completion to identify areas for future improvement. It's why we treat everyone with the utmost respect, from the client's CEO to the site cleanup crew.  

BASE Engineering, DPC is built on the engineering legacy of Guth DeConzo Consulting Engineers, whose founders established a culture of technical rigor, personal accountability, and hands-on leadership that continues to define the firm today. That trust—and the responsibility to uphold it—was deliberately passed to the current principals, ensuring continuity of judgment, ethics, and engineering excellence rather than a change in name only.

BASE designs and delivers high-performance Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing, Fire Protection, and Technology systems for environments where failure is not acceptable. Our work focuses on aviation, healthcare, life sciences, higher education, and other complex, infrastructure-intensive facilities requiring disciplined coordination and constructable solutions.

Senior, licensed engineers remain directly responsible for projects from concept through closeout. This leadership model—rooted in the Guth DeConzo tradition—keeps decision-making with those who understand both design intent and field realities, resulting in systems that perform, coordinate, and endure.

With more than 5,000 completed projects, clients including Delta Air Lines, Honeywell, and Pfizer, and operations across 25+ states and the Caribbean, BASE Engineering, DPC carries forward a proven legacy—combining traditional engineering discipline with modern BIM, automation, and data-driven delivery to build resilient systems for the next generation.
