Design and Project Management

DCAS provides comprehensive design and project management expertise to help city government make sure they have the office space they need to serve the public. This work includes ensuring an optimal layout that meets the needs of city agencies and the efficient use of space.

When a city government agency needs office space, DCAS looks assesses available space in City-owned and City-leased property to find the right fit. When that space is unavailable, DCAS helps agencies identify new office space that can be rented. When private office space is rented, DCAS advises on construction activities to make the space usable for City agency needs and negotiates the lease.

Experts in the design and project management space provide strategic planning services, architectural services, engineering services, estimating services, and leasing services.
