Project Management & Delivery
As a Chief Estimator, Dyson has assembled cost analysis for a variety of clients and building types from heavy industrial to built environments. DBL estimates are assembled using best practices of the ASPE (American Society of Professional Estimators). We pay special attention to bid forms, clarifications, alternates, and exclusions to ensure no values or opportunities are overlooked.

We offer inter-office collaboration and systems integration with the entire team, down to the subcontractors and vendors. Critical Path Method scheduling is what we use for fast-track projects on a lump sum. For design-build projects, we use Lean construction scheduling methods, which facilitate coordination with the trades in a design-build environment. We can fully integrate as many tasks, systems, or program schedules as needed to manage a light or robust delivery program. We know the magic is in the process.

Market Cost Insights
Within as little as 4 weeks we can offer a comprehensive report assessing the current real market value of design and construction. We leverage continuing education and technology to consistently refine our cost analysis data. This year we've invested especially heavy in estimating and cost analysis tools. We've employed a host of mobile applications to collaborate across the country in real time (E-Gordian/RS Means, Pro-core, E Builder and Building Connected). These are the software tools used to ensure we're getting up to date market cost. The software gives us the ability to issue RFP's and ITB's to a wide or focused market and gather 3 bids per trade in as little as 2 weeks.
Design & Engineering
Having 30 plus years of design coordination experience; collaboration is our strong suite. Here is where our experience as problem solvers pays off. We have the creativity and expertise to reverse engineer new construction projects and guarantee delivery within budgetary constraints. We also have the ability to bring value through design build efficiencies passed up from means and methods at the trade level.
Construction Oversight
CM (Construction Management) is a specialized discipline that protects Owner/Stakeholders, not to be confused with General Contracting. Our interest align with the Stakeholders.
As consulting Owners Representatives, we guard the Stakeholder budget and schedule in the interest of our client developers. As consultants we maintain a monitoring presence to insure the program is progressing using Owner goals as guidance. We employ specialized, project management techniques to hold GC's accountable and manage planning and design from its beginning to its end.
