Founded in 2020, Daren’s vision built up over a thirty-five year career of a firm for engineers, by engineers, and guiding the next generation of engineers has rapidly come into fruition. Since then, Shumate Engineering’s ever-growing roster of engineers have collaborated on many projects — from the namesakes of northern Virginia’s “Data Center Alley” and the rapidly growing DMV housing market to new prospects in Richmond and beyond — all while coming into our own as a tightly-knit team. And as a Virginia-designated small business (SWaM), we are eager to partner with like-minded firms to pursue the highest standards of AE design.
At the core of our engineering philosophy are these four principles:
A client inconvenienced is a client potentially lost. We understand that choosing a reliable MEP firm is one of the most important decisions an architect or contractor can make. Therefore, tight adherence to deadlines and project schedules is an ironclad Shumate guarantee, as is our commitment to maintaining open lines of communication.
Our engineers possess a deep resevoir of knowledge regarding mechanical and electrical systems, equipping them with the knowhow to tackle the thorniest aspects of any project, no matter the size or scale. Moreover, with an office spanning the generations, our younger designers are as eager to learn new skills as their older colleagues are eager to impart them.
We pride ourselves on our grasp of the unique problems of the 21st century and envisioning the engineering solutions that can resolve them — from new technology to increase data center efficiency to pioneering the next generation of EV charging stations. After all, a firm that cannot see beyond the next horizon is one that will never move forward.
