The benefits of our experience

DMD's firm and staff experience means clients receive the benefit of lessons learned and insights gained from diverse project challenges.

DMD performs over 200 individual projects each year, and our staff members have combined experience on thousands of design and construction efforts. Our experience includes the assessment and adaptation of new technologies and innovative approaches to typical or unique situations.

Diverse Project Sizes

Our projects fees range in value from $500 to well over $500,000. Because many of our projects have tight budgets, DMD has developed a highly efficient style of project management that delivers projects on time and on budget.

Traditional and Value-Based Delivery

We are experienced in delivering projects as traditional design-bid-build, as members of design-build (DB) teams, or as part of a public-private-partnership (P3) venture.

Quality Control (QC)

Experience has taught us the value and necessity to focus on quality. DMD has established a detailed internal quality control program to ensure that every project receives the attention needed. Our QC program is led by a QC manager who focuses on internal processes and results, and engages in a continual program of Quality Improvement (QI).

Schedule-Driven Responsiveness

DMD recognizes the importance of meeting deadlines and keeping projects on schedule. Our proactive approach identifies schedule-related issues up front, and our project managers focus resources to ensure that deadlines are understood and met.
