About dcb Construction Company dcb Construction Company, Inc. is a full-service building contractor. We design and/or construct build-to-suit commercial, religious, industrial, office, retail, warehouse and distribution facilities. Over the past 57 years, we have completed nearly 2,000 projects in the Rocky Mountain region and across the country for owners, users and developers. The story of dcb Construction Company, Inc., a locally owned and operated Colorado builder, is one of Colorado history, the struggle for survival, and loyalty to an ethical and professional business philosophy.     Denver Commercial Builders, Inc. (dcb) is chartered in the State of Colorado by a group of local businessmen.     Perry C. Peine purchases the company from the original owners. He dissolves the corporation and changes the company name to Peine Corporation.     Peine changes the company’s name back to Denver Commercial Builders, Inc. He also develops an internal design department that ultimately forms the foundation of what is now known as the "design-build" philosophy. This forward-looking and unique philosophy guides dcb Construction for most of its existence.     dcb Construction completes a large project for Broadway Moving & Storage, one of company’s original clients. The project gives dcb Construction hope and enthusiasm that it can survive the challenging economic environment of the mid 1980s by diversifying its client base. While dcb does in fact successfully weather the recession, half of all Colorado construction companies disappear by 1990, taking with them more than 55,000 construction jobs. Over the next three and a half decades, dcb Construction refines and perfects its design-build approach that differentiates it from many of its competitors. The approach resonates with clients, helping the company to complete nearly 2,000 projects in the Rocky Mountain region and across the country for owners, users and developers.     CFO Dan McComb and Board Member Scott King acquire dcb Construction from John Barna as part of an agreement to ensure future success for the company’s clients and employees. dcb Construction Company, Inc. specializes in design-build construction projects and is organized to provide the very best services associated with the design and build method of project delivery. Its fully staffed in-house Design Department works directly with other construction, estimating and management personnel to provide a single source of performance and responsibility. The design-build method of construction has many advantages, but its essence is the idea that the interest of the Owner is best served when the designer and contractor work together under a single, accountable source of responsibility. Teamwork among the Owner, Designer and Contractor can streamline the design construction process and can provide important data early on so that the Owner can make informed decisions about the project before a substantial financial commitment is made. In nearly every phase of modern industrial activity, a company not only designs its product but builds it as well. Automobiles, clothing, furniture, machinery, computers, space rockets, satellites -- all are examples of design-build products provided by a single accountable source of responsibility. Traditionally, it has been the belief that the cost of a construction project is determined via a bidding process. This is true only to a small degree because materials and labor have a definite cost basis. In actuality, the cost of a project is established during the planning and design stage, but it is often not known or confirmed until the traditional bidding process is complete. The design-build method of project delivery provides a means by which a project can be developed to specific building requirements and budget. Armed with knowledge concerning initial cost, quality, operational expense, site development and maintenance requirements, project characteristics can be developed through the input of design-build team members that best reflect the Owner's stated facility requirements and financial plans. The formal design phase of the project is by far the most important, as well as the most far-reaching and difficult phase to manage correctly. Our philosophy that every design consideration has a cost, quality and schedule implication associated with it mandates that all project team members work closely together, not only throughout the project, but during the design phase as well. Our experience has proven that when the design is approximately 20% complete, 80% of the project costs have been established, further verifying the importance of communication, teamwork and accountability. It is important to note that all projects must go through a design phase. The design-build method of project delivery provides an environment where all team members communicate openly and are accountable for their performance by virtue of the single source nature of the process. This leadership, experience and understanding of the design phase is the real value that dcb Construction Company, Inc. offers its clients. Since our staff is trained and experienced in the design-build method of project delivery and since each project is assigned a carefully selected team, the important questions, problems and solutions that must occur during the design phase are addressed. The project is enhanced by the advice of all disciplines involved, allowing the project team to meet very specific budget, quality and operational criteria. Upon completion of the design phase of the project, dcb Construction Company, Inc. conducts competitive bidding for all materials, equipment and subcontract services required for completion of the project. Upon completion of the construction of a new building and during the start-up of the new facility, dcb will closely monitor the building and all associated equipment in order to assure proper operation. During the close-out of the construction process, dcb will provide copies of as-built drawings and complete operation and maintenance manuals which document all materials and equipment, their source and detail of the installation. All certificates, warranties, guarantees and operating instructions for the facility and equipment will be provided. Following the Owner's acceptance of the completed facility, dcb will maintain continuing communication in order to assure the successful operation of the facility during the warranty period, which normally extends from the date of the Certificate of Occupancy.
