How we work

What you will know,and when.

Every DAG project starts on paper. We read the drawings for what is missing, set the schedule, pull the permits, and price the job line by line so you can see where the money goes. Only then does a wall come down.

In short

What happens between the first phone call and the final inspection?

Every DAG project starts on paper. We read the drawings for what is missing, set the schedule, pull the permits, and price the job line by line so you can see where the money goes. Only then does a wall come down. From there, one superintendent runs your site, you hear from us in writing, and when you call, someone picks up. Progress and schedule come to you in writing. Anything we find behind a wall gets photographed and priced before anyone keeps going. The final inspections, a walkthrough with you, and the warranty terms from your contract in your hand. After that, you still have our number, and we still pick up.

We read the drawings for what is missing, not only for what is drawn. Then we price the job line by line, and we pull the permits ourselves.

The commitments

What DAG commits to

Quality, transparency and integrity are not a slogan here. They are how the job gets done.

  • Estimate and permits before demolition.
  • A superintendent you know by first name.
  • Progress and cost changes, in writing.
  • Final inspections, walkthrough, warranty.
Questions

Questions about how a job runs

Can the project get done faster?

Often, and the way to do it is planning, not cutting corners. Speed is not shortcuts. We move fast because we plan hard: selections ordered before demolition, permits in hand before the crew shows up, and long-lead items like windows and millwork on order from day one. A job that waits on a decision runs long, so we ask for the decisions early.

Should I pull a permit, or can the work be done without one?

Pull the permit. Most construction in Miami-Dade County requires one, and unpermitted work has a way of surfacing later, when you sell the house or file an insurance claim. We handle the permit from the application through the final inspection as part of the job, so you are never the one standing in line at the building department.

How much does a renovation or a new home cost per square foot in Coral Gables?

There is no honest single number. It depends on the scope, whether any structure moves, the finishes you pick and what the permit requires. Two houses the same size can come out very differently. What we do is give you an itemized estimate, line by line, so you can see where the money goes and decide what to keep before you sign anything.
