Prairie Apartments of South Bend, Indiana

Prairie Avenue Apartments is financed in part through the Section 42 Tax Credit Program of Indiana.

DC Construction Management LLC was retained by the developer/owner to construct 128 apartment units, a high end clubhouse and 9 garages. The slated completion date for the project is December 2008.

The work includes site clearing and balancing, site utility infrastructure, concrete, roads, landscaping, building construction and finishes.

The cost of the project is 12 million dollars.

Hindered by all of the obstacles associated with a late fall start, our aggressive schedule and careful sub contractor selections will bring this project home, completed, sometime in August of 2008.

DC Construction Management LLC has hired all of the sub trades and vendors at a cost substantially below the initial budget and with it’s own on-site construction managers and office staff, maintains its dedication to complete this project months before the mandatory completion date and well below budget.

This owner is currently enjoying a budget surplus after all sub trades and vendors were contracted. This money will cover costs that the developer failed to realize initially and will be used to upgrade materials and amenities at this site.

Beating budgets, and accelerating schedules is what sets DC Construction Management LLC apart. We understand what the developer needs and we can deliver at a substantially less cost because we have the resources and experience and huge national subcontractor and sub-vendor base to get the job done right.

DC Construction Management LLC initiated its business with the developer/owner in mind. Providing a vast resource of construction management and construction administrative skills we have construction solutions for that independent developer who lacks the wherewithal to construct a project on its own.

The owner of this project never expected to have time to seek out another site but has found that with DC Construction Management LLC he has nothing but time to do what he does best, and that is putting housing deals together.

This owner is currently looking to start his second project around July of this year.

Candlewood Suites of Kansas City, Kansas

Focus Hotels approached us to “take over” and finish a failed and poorly managed project in Kansas City, Kansas. The time constraints for completion were next to impossible and the NASCAR race in Kansas City filled the entire hotel with ESPN Sport Center Staff for a two week period only 8 weeks after we showed up.

As it turned out the project was turned around, and pushed hard to completion with a day to spare. Passing all inspections for occupancy, not to mention the “Candlewood Standards Inspection”.

The hotel went from frame to repairs and corrections to completion in way less than two months under our direction.

"Dave completed the projects on time and especially saved the day in Kansas City where the Staff of ESPN Central were due to arrive and we were in between a rock and hard place." - Art Smith, Vice President of Construction, Focus Hotels, Merriville Indiana
