OVERVIEW
District Contracting was founded in 2009 to primarily provide full service general construction and design-build construction services. Our aim is to provide best practices, value and performance for every project we undertake. We strive to perform on-time and under-budget 100% of the time. Located in the Nation’s Capital, District Contracting is well positioned to perform work both regionally and throughout the Mid Atlantic region. After 3 successful years and after more than 100 projects, District Contracting was awarded certification in the U.S. Small Business Administration 8(a) Business Development program in November 2012. District Contracting has grown from several employees to more than a dozen employees. Our recent move to new offices in December 2014 is indicative of our intent to grow beyond our current level.
EXPERIENCE & APPROACH
District Contracting Group’s commitment to providing the most cost efficient services, while maintaining the highest standards of quality stems from the pride of personal ownership each of our employees commits to on each and every project. District Contracting Group employs highly skilled and motivated personnel who love what they do. We view our subcontractors, vendors, and suppliers as partners and instill in them our same commitment to service and excellence. From early on in the pre-construction process through project closeout and delivery, District Contracting Group’s project team is solely focused on and committed to the success of the project’s goals and the clients’ expectations and satisfaction.
LEADERSHIP
At District Contracting Group, our motto is “lead by example�. And for us, leadership starts with integrity. Each project team member from our ownership and project managers, to our administrative staff, each team member subscribes to being a professional in the performance of his or her duties. Careful consideration is given to each project as we understand that clear and open dialogue is key to mitigating miscommunication regarding design, performance, and cost.
DESIGN BUILD
District Contracting Group has a network of architects ready to partner for any potential design/build project. The design/build delivery system minimizes the overall project schedule by offering congruent design and construction services. This also allows the client to contract with one cohesive design/build team, which frees the client from technical involvement throughout the project. This is often the most cost effective route, as value engineering can be
seamlessly integrated into construction with minimal schedule impact. It also reduces the need for client-side construction managers. District Contracting Group is adept at matching our prospective client to one of our architect partners by assessing the intricacies of the project and the client-specific needs so as to provide the best match and value.
CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
District Contracting Group understands that meeting client’s deadlines is one of the most significant aspects of overall project success. We incorporate not only construction activities into the master project schedule, but also always account for preconstruction activities. Preconstruction factors often drive the overall schedule, therefore we show accurate durations for permit procurement, submittal review and approvals, and material lead times. We also incorporate client driven timelines, such as furniture procurement, IT coordination, or any other owner vendors. We strive to provide a comprehensive schedule that accounts for all facets of the project so as to minimize any unanticipated delays.
GENERAL CONTRACTING
District Contracting Group has a highly skilled project management team. We partner with pre-vetted subcontractors to deliver each project on-time and on budget. District Contracting Group emphasizes quality craftsmanship to ensure that
every project meets our high standard of quality. Our experienced team of estimators, project superintendents, project administrators, and project managers is dedicated to making each and every client a repeat customer. District Contracting Group provides superior general contracting service for clients planning to build, expand, and renovate any commercial, government, or institutional facility.
