OUR CAPABILITIES

Our diverse areas of expertise are designed to fit the changing needs of your construction project

01.

PLANNING

Our team is knowledgeable about the relevant rules, laws, regulations, and policies that control the design and construction process and has vast experience managing construction projects. We are also aware of a wide range of elements that affect the completion of construction projects, such as site characteristics and labor and material availability. We have developed connections with owners, developers, design studios, general contractors, trade subcontractors, and suppliers of materials and equipment, enabling us to assist our customers in finding creative solutions to the problems that frequently occur during building projects.

Assessing risk and design risk mitigation techniques that will help you save time and money entails developing a project execution strategy. Before your project starts, we can ensure its success with careful preparation. DHA may assist in creating a plan tailored to your project's needs, from determining scope and viability through a budget, timeline, and team requirements to process implementation, execution, and continuous assessment. We will work with you to create a strategy you can expand on, from concept to closeout.

02.

VALUE ENGINEERING

Accurate construction bid estimates are frequently the deciding factor in a project's success since they serve as the financial pillars of contract price agreements. DHA's special team has the knowledge to guide you toward the best choice, whether you're looking for value-added construction estimates for your current project, need help choosing between several bid packages, or want confirmation of a selected bid before signing a contract.

 

A thorough grasp of project costs and variables that affect project prices is necessary, as is a comprehension of the estimating process, to provide reliable construction bid estimates.

03.

CONSTRUCTION COST ESTIMATING

Construction cost estimation is an area of expertise for DHA Construction Management. Our clients receive detailed quantity takeoffs and pricing from the planning stage of a construction project through closeout thanks to DHA's experience in construction estimating, whether as a stand-alone service or as part of total construction management.

 

For projects large or small, DHA is prepared to generate cost estimates to help verify estimated construction costs at various phases of the development process. DHA accurately evaluates how the construction process is developing throughout the project's lifespan by identifying and assessing the project's scope, schedule, cost, quality, and performance.

​

04.

CONSTRUCTION COST ANALYSIS

Long-term project inflation in material and labor costs frequently leads to disagreements between owners and contractors. DHA's consultants can perform material escalation analysis to support your efforts, whether you are a community manager, property manager, or owner trying to protect against the overinflation of material prices.

Examining material escalation might be extremely important when creating contract papers in advance.

05.

CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE OVERSIGHT

A credible schedule is essential to the outcome of your project. To help you make well-informed decisions, take action before a delay occurs, and guarantee that your project is completed on schedule, DHA leverages our knowledge to identify possible difficulty spots for major projected work and offer timely revisions to the plan. Once in place, we keep the customer informed and in the loop as the project develops by offering detailed progress evaluations and status updates.

06.

CONSTRUCTION BUDGET MANAGEMENT

Before spending the time and money needed to turn an idea into a realized project, this is the first and most crucial question to ask. Failure to adequately respond to this issue during the concept stage will undoubtedly result in cost overruns and time delays later on. DHA Construction Management is well-positioned to offer you conceptual project budgets that address the economic viability of your project from the outset.   

 

DHA's specialists have the construction budget management knowledge to give you the conceptual project budgets you need to get your project off the ground, even if your construction project idea is still just that—an idea—without drawings or designs.

 

The cost services provided by DHA to help with the creation of your conceptual project budget include:

Risk assessment

Pre-construction planning and coordination

Construction cost estimating

 

Whether you are the owner, community manager, HOA/COA board member, or property manager, the construction cost consultants at DHA are prepared to contribute to your team's knowledge with a fresh perspective.

The construction budget management services offered by DHA can help with conceptual budgets, preliminary estimates, quantity take-offs, bid estimates, contract pricing, and more, regardless of the stage of your project.

CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT

Effective construction management abilities are necessary to finish construction projects on schedule, within budget, and to the desired level of quality since they demand a lot of time and money. Staying cost-effective and competitive in the building and construction sector requires businesses to have key capabilities in managing risk, coordinating project sites, and controlling costs.

The group of construction managers at DHA is well-suited to offer the oversight necessary to complete your projects on schedule and at your desired quality, scope, and functionality level. Our professionals know the difficulties owners, community managers, property managers, and HOA/COA board members face during the construction process. The following construction services are offered by DHA’s Consultants to meet your unique project demands and requirements:

  • Construction Oversight

  • Constructability Review

  • Contract Administration

  • Construction Scheduling

  • Cost Estimating

  • Change Order Management

09.

CONSTRUCTION CHANGE ORDER MANAGEMENT

Change order management is one of the most crucial jobs throughout a construction project. Both parties are accountable for managing change orders and promptly resolving them. Failing to address these challenges through a change management process would probably result in more project interruption and deterioration of the owner-contractor relationship.

Owners and contractors may get assistance from DHA experts to create change order requests, determine the scope, and analyze other effects on price and schedule.

 

Effective change order management has several critical issues, and DHA is well-equipped to analyze and answer each one.

  • Is the request changing the original scope of work?

  • How will it impact the schedule

  • How will it affect the budget

  • Who is responsible for its cost

  • Are there better alternatives

  • What is the impact of not proceeding with the change?

  • Is the change request legitimate

  • Is it reasonably priced

10.

EARNED VALUE MANAGEMENT

DHA evaluates and assesses a contractor's progress using earned value management methods. DHA can help any owner, HOA/COA board member, community manager, or property manager monitor cost and schedule performance to determine if a project is behind or ahead of schedule, as well as whether it is under budget or over budget.

 

Planning a project is crucial, but it may often seem hard to tell how things are genuinely progressing without routinely monitoring its progress. It is simpler to foresee any possible problems by continuously monitoring both the earned value of the project and the actual cost to complete the job.

11.

PROJECT QUALITY CONTROL MANAGEMENT

Every project has a quality plan that provides contractors with the expectations of the key stakeholders.  DHA Construction Management is very familiar with project specifications and expectations and can help guide the process and provide oversight during construction. 

The key services we can provide are:

  • Determine the quality of materials needed to complete the project

  • What type of materials are required?

  • Project impact on the surrounding environment and community
