About Us
At DBI Consultants, we are construction experts who specialize in evaluating damaged structures. Our mission is simple: provide clear, independent, and accurate recommendations backed by hard evidence and deep expertise. In a world of uncertainty, we bring our clients clarity and confidence.

Your Role
As a Construction Consultant Intern, you'll work alongside seasoned professionals to learn how damage assessment projects are scoped, budgeted, and evaluated. You'll gain real-world experience both in the field and in the office - from visiting sites to gathering data to helping prepare cost estimates.

What You'll Do
  • Assist with site visits to collect measurements, photos, and project details.
  • Support the analysis of labor, materials, and timelines for project estimates.
  • Help track costs and flag differences between projected and actual figures.
  • Learn to prepare professional reports and data entries in estimating tools.
  • Gain exposure to industry software like Xactimate, Bluebeam Revu, and project scheduling tools.
What You Bring
  • Currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in civil engineering, construction management, or related field.
  • Strong interest in construction consulting, estimating, and problem-solving.
  • Comfortable working in both office and field environments.
  • Detail-oriented, organized, and eager to learn.
  • Willingness to travel locally and occasionally work at heights.
Why DBI
  • Hands-on learning from experienced construction experts.
  • Opportunities to build professional skills that set a foundation for your career.
  • A collaborative, team-oriented environment.
