DAI takes to heart the responsibility we undertake to create a thoughtful design that supports your mission. The key words of our mission statement, "creating appropriate facilities," express the promise we make to provide you with maximum value for the resources you have to spend, never losing sight of the importance of creating the optimal healing environment. From the greeting at the front door, to the hub of activity within the heart of your healthcare facility, to the back stage service areas, each puzzle piece will be analyzed and assembled to create a vision of healthcare greatness.
Since its founding in 1984, DAI has assembled a team of specialists that have evolved with the ever-changing healthcare delivery system to provide our clients with a state-of-the-art design environment and technology. Our roots in the Northeast (Boston and Maine) have expanded to the Mid-Atlantic region through our office in Potomac Falls, Virginia. With the addition of our affiliate construction management firm, Monitor Builders Inc. (1988), our Engineering Division (2001), and Interior Design leadership, healthcare providers like you can take advantage of a full range of in-house resources, creating a single-source dynamic throughout the project. Many of our clients have experienced the dual benefits of choosing our firm's Design/Build methodology-ultimately reaping the rewards of a cost effective and seamless process.
Whether acute or sub-acute, ambulatory or inpatient, rural or urban, national or international, your selection of an architectural, engineering, and construction management team carries substantial influence on your overall strategic planning and implementation. You are looking for a group of seasoned professionals whose perspective and approach are firmly rooted in the same core principles. Once selected, our mission is to fully identify and understand the challenges you are facing and find inventive solutions-elements that are vital to a successful outcome.
The DAI process is one that promotes a collaborative team effort with your healthcare team and, through open discussions, begins building the framework for implementation of the strategic intent of the project. Having a well-rounded representation of key users and support departments involved in the process is invaluable to achieving your project's established goals. As the team progresses through each phase of the project, a clear picture materializes, setting the foundation for the creation of an integrated component in your healthcare delivery system that wraps its arms around the entire experience of care.
