UGA Journalism Building

The design team and contractor successfully completed the renovation of the 4thfloor of the Journalism Building on our University’s Athens Campus in September 2010, on time and within budget. The design team worked with our office to provide an innovative and compatible contemporary design for this unique building. Incorporation of daylight into the otherwise windowless 4th and 5th floors was a project requirement. Their approach brought shared light into more than 50% of the spaces. The project was the most successful of the projects I have managed.

Half Moon Outfitters

DSI has been superb to work with. From Mark, the foreman, to John the President, and to everyone supporting these guys: the work was on time, on budget and very well done. We would highly recommend DSI to anyone who is shopping construction in Athens, Georgia, and the surrounding areas.


Paired with Lori Bork Newcomer of Bork design, we had an incredible and rewarding renovation experience. This is often hard to say for a construction project of any size, but especially given the scope of this sensitive project and the fact that we live and work in Charleston SC and were relying on this team’s excellent judgment for many of the day to day detailed decisions. I am very thankful to have found these guys.

UGA Memorial Hall Large Meeting Space

We’ve worked with DSI construction under many different delivery scenarios including CM at risk, Hard Bid, Task Work Order, and Design/ build. We can attest to common themes among them all – consistently high-quality construction, attention to detail, veteran leadership, accurate pre-construction pricing, and cost control.

Georgia Center Select Wing HVAC Modification

The Superintendent, Foreman, and construction crews were a pleasure to work with. They were especially considerate of our staff and guests while completing a fairly invasive renovation, of our occupied facility. DSI demonstrated excellent communication skills, innovative design solutions, and followed through to the last detail.

UGA Memorial Hall

Memorial Hall was as technically complex of a renovation imaginable: an occupied building on a landlocked site, significant historic fabric, drastic change in use, fluctuating owner expectations, and complicated unforeseen conditions. The project was completed on time and within budget.
