Our licensed architects provide distinguished expertise on a wide variety of project types. Project types include public safety and healthcare facilities for regional municipalities, governments, and private business owners, as well as single family residential, military, educational, and an array of additional building types.

Routinely working with builders, contractors, and construction managers, DBF makes it a priority to understand constructability, prepare field-ready drawings and respond quickly on-site with construction support when needed. Relationships developed with local building partners allows us to provide a unified approach to each unique design-build project. Throughout the design and construction process, our team delivers on meeting client deadlines, budgets, and challenges.

With a strong belief in environmental stewardship, DBF incorporates sustainable design features where possible to reduce adverse impacts on our environment. Our green commitment begins by advocating for ecologically viable communities and incorporating sustainable elements into the design. Some key aspects of our green designs include maximizing natural light, utilizing energy efficient materials, landscaping with native vegetation, and integrating renewable energy sources, among other techniques. Neighborhood planning and adaptive reuse are also integrated in our sustainable design portfolio and includes numerous United States Green Building Code (USGBC) LEED-certified buildings, as well as facilities designed to IgCC compliance.

Working with facility managers in the government, military, and educational sectors, DBF assists with an array of facility support services. Both building and site adjustments are often necessary to adapt to internal or external changes and provide flexibility for current and future use. Solutions are provided to address immediate facility needs while successfully planning for future maintenance, enhancements, and anticipated growth. Services include building evaluations, needs analyses, maintenance/restoration, feasibility studies, tenant fit-outs, and minor capital improvements.
