BEGINWITH THE END IN MIND Right from the start we focus the team on the educational program and the goals of the stakeholders. Continuous reporting to the School and it’s community is a DEI Hallmark

LEED EXPERIENCE DEI has completed 13 LEED Gold Cert building, obtained $26M in State gr and manages Energy Star Programs K-12 Districts. We continuously pu energy savings design.

MULTI-DISCIPLINE TEAM As construction managers we do more than shuffle paper. We bring a wide array of highly skilled and licensed architects and engineers to every project to provide technical solutions to issues and implement best practices.

SYSTEM FOCUS & VALUE ENGINEERING

Our staff is adept at facilitating meaningful collaboration between Owner, Architect, and CM early in the design to select the best systems, identifying strategies to reduce the project cost, shorten the schedule, and improve long-term maintenance and energy consumption.

SCHEDULE-DRIVEN APPROACH Our schedule-driven approach means planning the work, then working the plan. During design, DEI documents well-defined milestones for each team member, which establishes clear account- ability for the project schedule during design and construction.

PROCUREMENT From design agreement to the selection of support professionals and ultimately the procurement of brick and mortar, we strategically protect K-12 owners from risk.

CONSTRUCTIBILITY REVIEWS Identifying issues in the design phase is the most effective way to avoid costly change orders during construction. DEI assembles skilled technical teams who utilize a proven methodology for comprehensive reviews tailored to each phase of the design process.

BUDGETING EXPERTISE Our estimating team, led by our Certified Professional Estimator, prepares comprehensive budgets early in the project, updates this budget throughout the design phase, and uses the budget to “reign in” the architect when needed to keep within the available funds.
