Every building project is an opportunity. A powerful chance to do something amazing. And to ensure the work is worth it, projects need to be well-managed. The planning must be practical. Leadership must be level-headed. Communication must be clear.

At DBI, we partner with clients and project teams across each step and challenge, guiding projects through every detail, enhancing a sense of possibility, and empowering bold decisions in difficult moments.

Our goal is to be a steady hand through the process. Because when every decision is made by committed people working collaboratively, the end result becomes even more satisfying.

DBI's ability to blend seamlessly with internal staff, learn company-specific processes to accelerate acceptance, and to communicate clearly with everyone involved, makes them a unique player in the marketplace. I can't imagine undertaking a real estate project without them.

M. Li
President at Ascend Public Charter Schools
At a time when real estate, construction, and facilities projects have become increasingly costly, stressful, and uncertain, DBI stands out as the single-greatest investment I've made for my peace of mind.
L.B. Joseph
CEO at Coney Island Prep
The DBI team removes obstacles and keeps projects moving smoothly, without complicating the process or ignoring mitigating factors that turn into change order disputes at the end.
