DMA’s Approach to Design

DMA’s design philosophy is to bring our knowledge to a project and help a customer understand all the options they have in the design process to achieve their desired outcomes of their building.
We strive to work in a collaborative environment with the design and construction team. We have developed a process that helps a customer navigate the maze of design and end at a place that they feel comfortable with their decisions. We find that when a customer has all the information, they typically choose a building that is highly sustainable and effective in meeting their requirements. Our process is outlined below:
Potential Customer Intake Form
Determine what is important to the customer as it relates to HVAC System
Interview with potential customer
We are a fit for both parties, agree to move forward
Owner’s Project Requirements (OPR)
A “living” document that is a summary of what we received from the customer intake form and our interview, this document is comprehensive of what the building needs to do to meet all requirements
