Multi-Family 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
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.

What Are The Splits?

Site Construction

  • E&S Controls
  • Site Demo
  • Earthwork
  • Subgrade & Final Grade
  • Stone Outside Building Footprint
  • Stormwater Management
  • Utilities Outside 5’ of Building Pad
  • Asphalt & Concrete Work
  • Landscaping

Vertical Site

  • Concrete
  • Sidewalk Leads
  • Site Steps and ADA Ramps within 20’
  • Finished Topsoil within 20’
  • Excavate, Place, Install, Cover, Compact Leaders and Secondary Services
  • Plantings and Seeding within 20’
  • Fine Grading

Vertical Construction & Excavation

  • Excavate Foundations & Install Insulation
  • Excavate Under Slab Utilities

  • Dry Utility Trenching
  • Structural Pad Stone

The Process

Expedited Comprehensive Preconstruction Services
  • Full access to our 5 Garden-Style Models = Time & $$$ Savings
  • Reduces architectural lead time and construction build time.
  • Customizable to fit your needs through WisdomTree Group, our in-house architectural team.
  • Accuracy and accountability delivered through complete takeoffs
  • Database with over 1 million SKU’s of materials and finishes for automated cost analysis and procurement efficiency.

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.
