We are a Washington-based real estate development, general contracting, and consulting firm focused on single and multifamily residential projects in DC, Virginia, and Maryland.  Our expertise covers both renovation and new construction, and our experience ranges from premium custom homebuilding to large multi-unit renovation projects.  We strive to create architectural places which manifest enduring positive change on the built environment, for the well-being of the greater community in which we live.

General Contracting

Apart from its own real estate development projects, DAKS serves as the general contractor on the projects of other developers and private owners as well. DAKS thus brings a developer’s perspective to its work as general contractor, allowing it to effectively merge the priorities of the two roles.  Schedule, budget, and the completed work all receive equal and superlative commitment to accuracy and quality.

Custom Homes

DAKS is well equipped to provide full-spectrum construction services to its clients. Even if a prospective client has nothing more than the kernel of an idea for their project, DAKS can carry them through the entire process. From preconstruction activities—like selecting a site and engaging an architect, to final completion—be that moving in or putting the property on the market, we are able and eager to bring our client’s vision to fruition.
