Project Management

Design Build We are not a jack of all trades. At DCL we pride ourselves on having the discipline to say “no” when it’s not within our core competence. It’s our commitment and focus on our strengths that makes us better as we set the bar higher for ourselves. Greatest compliment paid to DCL from a client “honestly DCL is too sophisticated for us and we the client have to up our game to keep up”. Construction delivery is a tough business. Statistically rates of failure or dissatisfaction is higher than satisfaction. Why… Because expectations by stakeholders was not clearly defined
