Pre-Construction
In order for a project to successfully start with groundbreaking it needs to be properly directed as early as possible. Pre-construction services will help forecast what the project idea will consist of such as generating design, cost, schedule as well as other planning to solidify any uncertainties.

Design/Build
Design/Build is a fast track and money saving approach to a construction venture. In this construction method, DER’s project management team works extremely close with the owners and design professionals from day one to achieve the desired end results. In most cases, the project is still being designed and modified even after the project has commenced, which allows for easier incorporation of changes throughout.

General Contracting
DER’s experience with general contracting is very extensive. The company has a familiarity to a wide range of projects in this field. With general contracting, the total base price for a project is known before the commencement has taken place. If an owner happens to have an architectural and engineering design already procured, then normally a general contractor is chosen to bring this idea to life.
