Overland Park-based Constructive Engineering Design, Inc., has merged with consulting firm DeSimone Consulting Engineering.

Founded in 1992 by Michael Farrahi, Constructive Engineering Design (CED) provides engineering services to the industrial, commercial and civic markets. The merger deal also includes CED’s Steel Frame Alliance division.

“We built CED with a commitment to scientific integrity, technical excellence, and unmatched client service,” Farrahi said in a release. “Joining DeSimone allows us to amplify that mission on a global scale. Together, we will deliver deeper expertise, broader resources, and innovative solutions for the complex technical challenges our clients face.”

Moving forward, Farrahi will be the managing principal of DeSimone’s Overland Park office and team.

CED’s portfolio consists of structural engineering, detailing, and steel procurement for projects including: 50 Hudson Yards, a 58-story commercial office tower in Manhattan, New York; Optima Camelview Village, a 2.1 million square foot condominium complex, with eleven 7-story buildings and an underground parking garage in Scottsdale, Arizona; and the expansion of the Hallmark distribution center in Liberty, Missouri.

The merger bolsters DeSimone’s portfolio across key project types, including data centers, advanced manufacturing projects and transportation facilities such as rail stations, aviation hangars and terminals.

Founded in New York City in 1969, DeSimone provides structural engineering, façade, and vertical transportation consulting, with offices in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, South America, and the Middle East.
