The DSI Difference
Our architectural background provides our construction teams the understanding of the design process. Our construction teams provide our architects the insights of costs and scheduling while designing to keep our clients’ goals and objectives in the forefront.
This two-fold approach allows our clients to benefit from two distinct professions, resulting in team-oriented construction services and real-world implementations of design.
Our company vision mandates that we remain stewards of our industry’s history and our environment. We strive to respect those who came before us by eagerly taking on historic preservation and restoration projects. We also believe that it is our responsibility to take actions that ensure our natural resources are protected for centuries to come.
Why Choose DSI?
Excellence
For over twelve years, our team has believed that utilizing the most state of the art techniques, combined with the highest of core values produces a winning combination. Excellence is not something that happens overnight; it is a process. Our team is committed to maintaining excellent service and product delivery. Everything we do has to meet our own standards first. We will settle for nothing less.
Sustainability
Sustainability is an important part of the DSI culture. What we do today will have an immediate and lasting impact on our own environment and the entire planet. We understand and we embrace the process of green building and sustainable design. We welcome the opportunity to help our clients realize the cost savings achieved over the course of a project’s life cycle.
Safety
Our safety procedures are planned out well in advance and are included for all projects we undertake before the first shovel hits the ground. Our approach is always Safety First.
Our focus is on our clients, our team, and safety. We strive to promote local economic development by partnering with community businesses and institutions. DSI is a firm dedicated to improving our community one project at a time.
“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”
