Commercial Contractor Services

DTF Construction is a licensed and insured commercial general contractor who is dedicated to our clients. With an established reputation of integrity, an emphasis on the client's needs, and an exceptional construction team, our company has enjoyed tremendous growth in the Raleigh, NC area to include Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Fuquay Varina, Morrisville, Clayton, Garner, and Willow Spring. Our goal is to provide quality construction services and retain our clients for years to come. We put our customer’s needs first, and follow-through on the plans established during pre-construction to deliver an exceptional product on-time and on-budget. As a commercial general contractor, we like to "get our hands dirty and build buildings." We take a "hands-on" approach to every project, maintaining the highest safety and quality standards in the commercial building business. As the design evolves, we prepare a detailed schedule for the construction activities of the project – constantly evaluating our approach and seeking better alternatives.

Building Evaluation Services

Prior to purchasing an existing building or a parcel of land, our clients’ success is largely due to the fact that we get involved early in the process, which allows us to understand the project as it relates to the owners’ needs and expectations. With our building construction evaluations we work with the owner to evaluate the overall building and site conditions before a deposit is placed. Adaptive reuse of existing buildings is becoming more and more prevalent because land is getting harder to find. Our typical clients range from an owner/tenant relocating to a new site with minor changes needed to the building – to a national developer refurbishing an existing building or purchasing a site. This is where our expertise comes into play. We can evaluate the current state of the structure to make the owner aware of potential deficiencies that could increase development costs. We can prepare a conceptual budget to reposition a building or new site development work, which saves time and money.

We partner with the architectural and structural teams to develop a schematic design plan and work on budgets. Often times we take these projects on a design-build basis for the owners. In other cases, developers pass on opportunities because we have uncovered obstacles that will make the project economically unfeasible.

The pre-purchase building evaluation process is a collaborative effort between all parties to develop conceptual budgets and reduce risk; including the owner, architect, design-build consultants and structural engineers. Our goal is to eliminate surprises during construction and build the project as cost effectively as possible.

Design & Build Services

The design-build process allows for full execution of the "team concept". DTF Construction, Inc. will work closely with the owner to determine the scope of the construction project, construction methods and the target budget. The design-build process works closely with key subcontractors and consultants from conceptual design throughout completion of the construction drawings and specifications. Building Plans and specifications are reviewed in detail with the key trades to determine actual costs and alternate design and material selections are made early in the process. Continuous review of real world costs by the owner and construction design-build team assures a project design remains within budget and is completed on time.

When time is of the essence and controlling cost is paramount to the success of the project, it’s important that we are involved at this stage. We are able to select the best methods and materials, and ensure that we are on top of the varying construction costs.
