How You Beat The Odds
Most development and construction projects fail due to lack of early planning. There’s a tendency to make modifications too far into the process when changes are expensive and cause delays.
To have a project come in on time and in budget, you need to take time during the early phases to build-in savings by setting goals, defining scope, creating an optimal design, calculating budgets and establishing a realistic schedule.
If you slowdown in the beginning, your project will be delivered faster. DSS can help you create savings during the planning phases and then keep everything on track during construction so those savings are realized.
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PARADIGM
Importance of clear definition during early development phases
During the Project Definition and Preliminary Design stages, it’s inexpensive to make modifications that have a profound impact on a project’s quality, cost and schedule. Modifications during subsequent phases have less impact, are very expensive and cause delays.

“Our retention of DSS significantly contributed to the completion of our complex historical renovation and new construction project on budget and on schedule. Their attention to detail and creative thinking had a profoundly favorable impact on the entire process. I can recommend them without reservation.”
