## History[edit]

Design Works Engineering was founded in 2014 in Grande Prairie by engineering veterans Haydar Al Dahhan and John Lehners. Right after the launch, the company started seeing growth and they opened their second office Edmonton in January 2015. Seven months later, Design Works Engineering expanded beyond Canada and opened offices in Davao, Makati, and Cebu in the Philippines.[9][10][11]

In January 2017, Design Works Engineering opened an office in Calgary for further expansion. The founders also expanded their existing offices in Edmonton and Grande Prairie to add more people in their team. In 2019, the company’s growth continued and they opened Toronto to explore the Eastern market in Canada. Four months later, the company opened another office in Vancouver to expand their business in the West coast.[12][13][14]

Design Works Engineering announced that their expansion will continue and they will open their offices outside of North America and will open offices globally to expand their reach and business.[15][16][17][18][19]
