Who We Are

In 1955, John Tilden started what would one day be a national, 11 office, several hundred person collaboration of creativity that is known as TLC Engineering for Architecture. 

TLC is on a mission to provide excellent Engineering for Architecture.  Our vision is to be a trusted engineering advisor and leader in creating sustainable environments.  We value building sustainable, long term and trusting relationships based on providing extreme service while also keeping an eye on profitability. Our purpose is to serve as an indispensable and trusted design partner, delivering creative engineering.
