DAS’ General Contracting team provides complete construction services for all aspects of a building project. Our experienced team works collaboratively with the project owner and architect to transform the design into reality

At every stage of your project, one of the principals of DAS will be directly involved. This degree of participation and steadfast commitment to a client has always been a defining characteristic of DAS.

DAS’ Construction Management team provides complete administrative management and coordination of a project throughout its life-cycle. During design and pre-construction, our team provides value-added services such as budgeting, value engineering, constructability reviews, scheduling and phasing.

DAS will coordinate the work of trade contractors, and will carry out the project management functions required to successfully complete the project on behalf of the owner.

As an advocate for the owner, DAS provides planning, programming and administration to suit a client’s immediate and long term needs. Our team becomes an extension of the client’s staff, providing administrative support and construction expertise in alignment with the client’s budget and strategic objectives.

All of our Clerks are also Superintendents, with years of experience in constructing and managing projects. They know how to track a project's schedule, how to recognize potential issues, and how to maintain working relationships in the field, which is a critical and unique detail that separates DAS from other OPM's.

In my 30+ years at CBA, and leading back to our firm’s founding in 1955, we have worked with DAS in numerous capacities for construction projects, including DAS taking the role of General Contractors (private projects and MGL ch149); CM at Risk (MGL ch149a); as well as DAS acting as Owners Project Managers (OPM).  We have found them to be fair & honorable in every situation.

​

Construction is an inherently complex process, especially in the public sector.  DAS’s understanding of the technical aspects of construction, and the need for all parties to work together to make construction projects successful, is further strengthened by their personal attention and collaborative attitudes.

​

No “smoke & mirrors” or “salesmen” who you’ll never see again with this firm. They are real people and we look forward to working with DAS at every opportunity.

The Arts Trust is a volunteer, non-profit organization, and while we have knowledgeable folks on our board, none of us had any experience with a project of this scale. DAS was outstanding in leading us through this early phase of the project, and continues to be so as we continue the renovations... None of us can imagine having gotten as far as we have without their counsel, work and steady hand.

​

I really can't say enough good things about DAS -- members of the Arts Trust relied heavily on DAS during this contract and continue to do so as we build out more of Hawley Street. I am sure we are not an easy outfit to work with, but DAS has proven flexible, supportive, and patient throughout.
