VALUE FOR CLIENTS IS OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY
VALUE FOR CLIENTS IS OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY
We serve at the intersections of construction, finance, and technology. Value for Clients is our highest priority.
At DBL, we deliver data tailored to meet the specific objectives of our client stakeholders:

As a Chief Estimator, Mejai Kai Dyson has assembled cost analyses for a variety of construction types, including heavy construction, rail, air, and nautical projects, as well as built environments such as hotels, museums, and theatres. 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 project team, from the subcontractors and vendors to the project GC and stakeholders. Critical Path Method scheduling is what we use for fast-track projects on a lump-sum basis. For design-build projects, we use Lean construction scheduling methods to facilitate coordination with the trades. We can fully integrate as many tasks, systems, or program schedules as needed to manage a light or robust livery program. We know the magic is in the process.

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 refine our cost analysis data consistently. This year, we've invested especially heavily in AI (artificial intelligence). We leverage tech to issue RFPs and ITBs to a wide or focused market and gather 3 bids per trade in as little as 2 weeks.

With 30+ years of design coordination experience, collaboration is our strong suit. 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 can also bring value through design-build efficiencies passed up from means and methods at the trade level.

We guard the Stakeholder budget and schedule in our developer clients' interests. As consultants, we maintain a monitoring presence to ensure the program is progressing in line with the Owner's/Stakeholder's goals. We have best practices to hold GCs accountable and to lead planning and design from start to finish.
We are experts in performing quantity take-offs, verifying estimates, conducting cost analyses, and offering value engineering. We have all the latest software: Building Connected, On Screen Take Off, Pro-core, Timberline, and can upload and interface with any trade shop's estimating software for collaborative cost verification
