D&B Construction Group
D&B Construction's Proprietary Production-Style, Multi-Family Construction Delivery Model
Current Challenges for Apartment Developers
How can we build in today’s economic climate with:
- Higher interest rates
- Inflated construction costs
- Increasing competition
- Increasing demand for amenities and finishes
D&B Solution
Production Building Efficiencies Deployed in Multi-Family Construction
Despite headwinds in the multi-family sector, D&B has been able to maintain and steadily grow our pipeline of projects, with roughly 1,500 units currently in the pre-construction and course of construction phases. The Single-Family construction market is dominated by Production Builders (Toll, NVR, DR Horton) D&B has leveraged the same concepts for the multi-family market. Our process integrates BIM architectural modeling, designs fine-tuned over 30+ years of apartment development and management, our material procurement team, and D&B’s trade partner network. This is not your standard “turnkey” construction process.
Centered on Collaboration
Whether full turn-key or a la carte D&B focuses on solutions that generate positive outcomes. Identifying a clear delineation of responsibilities up front, opening clear communication channels and comprehensive input from all parties are essential to a successful project. With our experience we know clearly assigning and understanding the roles of every key player will start a project on the right path. From site design and shovels in the ground to our construction managers working with your lease-up teams your project won’t skip a beat.

The BIM Advantage
Building Information Modeling (BIM) is the digital process for designing and constructing buildings. It allows architects, engineers, and construction workers to collaborate and share information more efficiently, leading to better accuracy, cost savings, and reduced waste. The 3D modeling capabilities of BIM allow you to walk your building in VR eliminating and correcting mistakes before final plans are approved. To save you time and money we will offer you the right to use our own designs at no charge.
- Accuracy - With BIM modeling, all design changes update the material type and quantities real-time enabling the most informed cost decisions and trade deliverables.
- Efficiency - BIM modeling saves time and minimizes waste through automated and precise takeoffs to be used in bidding and purchasing.
Real-Time BOM Pricing
With our monthly updates to our estimating and take-off software we can provide real-time updates to bill of materials when swapping materials, finishes and quantities.
Production Building Saves
Born out of necessity, Production Building Model works for Single Family, and now we know it works for Multi-Family.
