What does Design Management provide?

Let DMS be your advocate for design and engineering requirements.

Too often engineers and architects don't seem to be on the same page, let alone the same team. DMS provides you with an expert in the area of design and engineering consultant management and allows you hand off responsibility for tracking and controlling subconsultants and allows you to focus on what is really your responsibility.

No one has time for hand holding, and certainly no time to fight for deadlines and fees. DMS will assume this role and become a member of your team, enhancing your experience by producing timely, quality and well coordinated plans.

Having been on the inside of the engineering industry DMS knows price point and design standards for most engineering consultants. Developers, commercial brokers, architects all are looking for a solid engineering resource. DMS will provide the key to customizable design and engineering resources.

Services Offered

Engineering Procurement Method

Rather than an owner or architect trying to manage and coordinate 3-4 disciplines to ensure everything comes in correctly and, on schedule, DMS would use its engineering procurement methods to get the right team at the right price.

Who has room in their fees currently to cover all the required coordination and management? DMS provides the solution to this problem by handling the management at no extra engineering cost to an architect or owner. Additionally DMS will provide coordination tools to our clients to enable them to keep real time track of the status of the projects through a user portal website.

Our extremely competitive rates are made possible due to the engineering resource procurement method, delivering reliable and competitive priced construction documents. We provide management tools and processes to our consultants that enable them to deliver at the requested price point.

There is no large company with large overhead structure, but rather a cooperative of design and engineering professionals that have partnered with DMS to provide reliable and quality service. Using our cooperative of engineering groups, DMS can provide turnkey design solutions that exceed clients expectations.

Turn Key Design and Construction Resources

Not only are we able to provide the key to engineering resources, but DMS is able to partner with highly reputable and experienced construction firms to provide you with a turn key design build package.
