Discuss a renovationRenovation leadership
Transform the space without losing control of it.
Renovation involves conditions that cannot always be seen on drawings. DCMG investigates the existing property, coordinates the design and sequences the work around occupants, building systems and ongoing operations.
We create a controlled path from assessment through turnover, with clear scope, cost, schedule, phasing and communication.
Core services
Built around existing conditions.
Every renovation begins with understanding what exists, what must change and how the property needs to function during the work.
Renovation planning
Define scope, budget, phasing, temporary relocations, shutdowns, owner decisions and the route to occupancy.
Design and permits
Coordinate architects, designers, engineers and authorities while reviewing constructability and budget alignment.
Interior renovations
Manage demolition, layouts, finishes, millwork, washrooms, kitchens and mechanical, electrical and life-safety modifications.
Commercial fit-outs
Coordinate landlords, tenants, base-building systems, specialty equipment, signage and complete occupancy preparation.
Occupied-building work
Control access, dust, noise, vibration, public separation, after-hours work and service interruptions.
Capital upgrades
