Insight

Insight comes from “having been there before,” from understanding the competition and new trends, and from knowing what has and hasn’t worked in the past. The Douglas Company’s knowledge of your industry, our extensive planning processes, and our job site experience are valuable assets that assure your project’s success. That’s good to know when you’re investing millions of dollars in a new building.

The Douglas Company has focused on the senior living, affordable housing, multi-family, commercial, and retail markets for more than three decades. Chances are good we’re familiar with the challenges you’re facing, and that we’ve already found solutions for them. Be assured, we bring many decades of expertise and experience to every phase of your project.

"As the Vice President of Development for Capital Senior Living, it was important to select a construction partner who understood the nuances of the retirement industry. That is why I contacted The Douglas Company. Since then, and through their continuing insight behind the changing culture of senior living environments, we've developed a relationship that has allowed us to use The Douglas Company on multiple communities."

-Glen Campbell
Vice President of Development, Capital Senior Development

Ingenuity

It can take the form of a groundbreaking design, a new function for an old space, or a process that saves time or improves the end product. Leaders possess a curiosity and a deep desire to innovate. That’s why we’re always asking “is there a better way?” and looking for the best solution. And because needs, styles, tastes, codes, economics, and wish lists are constantly evolving, we’re always listening to our clients and keeping our finger on the pulse of their industries.

The Douglas Company brings foresight, efficiency, and initiative to every project. We have the ability to see not only the finished product, but predict and prevent costly stumbling blocks by providing alternative solutions. We combine ingenuity with highly refined processes, pinpoint attention to detail, and a serious desire for all-around excellence to create buildings of lasting value for our clients.

"The projects I've worked on with The Douglas Company were complex in nature, sometimes even complicated by nature, itself. They have exhibited ingenuity in helping solve intricate problems, and always with our interest at heart."

-Bo Russ
Principal, Architectural Concepts, Inc.

Relationship

We’re not in business for short-term gain. We want to earn clients for life. But achieving that goal takes more than just “doing a good job.” It calls for nothing less than a total commitment to developing lasting relationships. It demands an investment of time, a true understanding of our clients’ wants and needs, and a long-term, strategic outlook. Most of all, it requires trust.

You can have complete faith in our ability to get the job done right, on time and on budget. Our exclusive processes, high performance standards during construction and the ability to insure post construction satisfaction have allowed us to build long-term relationships with our clients. Rest assured, we understand what’s important to you and we will help you succeed.

“During the past twenty years I have enjoyed working with The Douglas Company on several housing projects in the Michigan and Ohio region. The Douglas Company has demonstrated an understanding of what is important to our projects. Because of them, our properties have been successful from inception, during construction and through occupancy. We truly value our business relationship with The Douglas Company.”

President & CEO, Star Development

Value

You invest too much in a construction project to accept anything less than real value. We know your industry, and we’ve built an impressive knowledge base over the years. That means your time and money aren't wasted “getting the contractor up to speed.” You require the best value from your contractor when running a successful business. So let us lead you through a planning and decision-making process that always keeps your projects’s success clearly in focus.

We will always provide you with the best cost solution. The bottom line: no matter what the price tag, we’re always intent on giving you the most for your money.

"Douglas' ability to make an early determination of construction budgets - along with creative site design solutions - is invaluable to me as an owner. Their early planning expertise and their ability to deliver at the original budget significantly reduces my risk exposure and adds value to the project every step of the way."

-Larry Dillin
President, Dillin Corp.

Integrity

What some call old-fashioned values are the rules by which we run our company.

Honesty. We put it all on the table, from your options to our opinions. There are no hidden costs, no hidden agendas, and no surprises once the job is complete. It is our processes and proactive actions that afford our clients the trusting relationship they deserve.

A strong work ethic. Hundreds of facilities; millions of square feet. It’s the extra mile we go for our clients, nothing less than absolute professional conduct and keeping our commitments. Our commitment to doing the job right always shows up in the finished product – your building.

Respect for our clients. It’s all about the Golden Rule: we treat you as we’d like to be treated. From start to finish, your experience will be lead with honesty and built with a strong work ethic. We deliver what we promise. Understanding, communication, and respect are the cornerstones of any good relationship.

“Overall, I give The Douglas Company my highest rating in design, building, service and quality standards. From inception through completion, and from design to site supervision, the entire construction team was appreciative of our company objectives.”
