Municipal Support

Supporting Responsible Growth & Development

DMSE is pleased to offer expanded municipal planning and Development Officer services to support local governments, rural communities, and regional partners throughout New Brunswick.

As communities experience continued growth, redevelopment, and increasingly complex regulatory requirements, access to professional, responsive planning services is more important than ever.

DMSE provides municipalities and local governments with a practical, responsive, and multidisciplinary approach to land use planning, development review, and municipal development administration.

One Team. Multiple Disciplines.

As a homegrown New Brunswick company with offices in Saint John and Sussex, DMSE has more than 50 years of experience serving communities across the province.

Our multidisciplinary team brings together surveying, engineering, GIS, planning, and environmental expertise under one roof. This integrated approach allows us to consider the broader technical and planning implications of development projects and provide municipalities with coordinated, practical advice.

Whether supporting a municipality through individual development applications or providing ongoing contracted Development Officer services, DMSE works collaboratively with local governments to help streamline processes, manage growth, and achieve community planning objectives.
