Preconstruction
The life of a project starts in Preconstruction, where there is the most significant opportunity to impact and control costs. During this phase, we gather a full understanding of the project vision and work with both the client and architect to create a plan for development.
Construction
When construction begins, we're with you every step of the way. As your project starts to come into focus, our team of professionals is working hard while remaining available for close collaboration with you. Our process is designed to deliver successful results, efficiently.
project closeout and turnover
We're dedicated to the successful completion of your project. It won't be long before the finish line is in view, so we have a process designed to address any issues that came up in construction and prepare owners for operation and maintenance of installed systems. Even after the ribbon is cut, we've got your back.

client testimonials
Where are you located? and Do you travel?
We want to make sure you have experience in the type of product we want to build. Do you have experience in XYZ?
Do you self-perform any of the construction work on your projects?
Do you offer value-engineering options?
What stage in development should I inquire about working with The Douglas Company?
What does "a sole-sourced, negotiated approach" mean?
We are headquartered in Holland, Ohio -- a suburb of Toledo -- with a second office in Orlando, Florida. Primarily, we serve the Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, and Florida markets. However, we do travel and our processes are designed so that we can enter other markets and have repeatable success.
WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED? AND DO YOU TRAVEL?
We are market-specialists when it comes to Multifamily and Senior Living Communities. These markets encompass a variety of different products – each with their own complex inner workings – including but not limited to: market-rate multifamily housing, affordable multifamily housing, hospitality, health-related facilities, and the full range of senior living such as Active Adult, Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, Short-Term Rehab, and Skilled Nursing.
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE IN THE TYPE OF PRODUCT WE WANT TO BUILD. DO YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE IN XYZ?
No, we don’t employ in-house trades at The Douglas Company. We have a network of reliable trade partners, vendors, and subcontractors with whom we work closely. This allows our project team to bring the best value to the project, through competitive bidding and ensures the most qualified subcontractors are selected. A copy of our detailed subcontractor prequalification process is available upon request.
Do you self-perform any of the construction work on your projects?
We recommend reaching out as early as possible. Our Integri-D process works the best – and saves you the most money – when implemented in the earliest stages of development. If you have an idea in mind for your next project, it’s a good time to get in touch and make The Douglas Company part of your building team. And if you’re not in the beginning stages of planning but still on the hunt for a general contractor, it’s not too late. When clients come to us at various stages in their projects, they have different needs and we work to connect the dots. We use our whole network to help the whole project.
What stage in development should I inquire about working with The Douglas Company?
Yes, absolutely. We’re passionate about bringing our clients’ visions to life, on-time and on-budget. As Market-Specialists, we know our specialty well enough to be able to offer value engineering that actual makes sense for your project. These options will allow you to retain your vision while keeping within your budget and timeframe.
Do you offer value engineering options?
This refers to our approach to bidding projects. This set-up, where we are the sole-sourced general contractor for the project, gives us the freedom to come up with the Best Price Solution and take the time to prequalify all subcontractors. Unlike competitive bid projects, we work as part of the team with owner, architect, and subcontractors to create the best outcome possible. It's both in our best interest and the clients to operate like this.
