Creating
Spaces for
a Lifetime

Haydon has been working on projects together with DFDG since the early 90s. Aside from their great work and stellar reputation, perhaps most importantly, we just really like their people!

The creativity and professionalism of their staff, genuine approach to working with their construction partners, and commitment to making the owner’s vision a reality is why DFDG is a trusted design partner to McCarthy for over 17 years.

DFDG is a preferred design partner for us because they share our commitment to building relationships and maintaining those relationships by finding win-win solutions to challenges.  They truly listen to their clients and construction partners and strive to realize the vision of their clients while ensuring they provide solutions that will fit within the project budget.

DFDG has been a great partner and has played a key role in the success of our project thus far. They did a nice job of understanding our culture which enabled them to develop concepts and designs which were a fit for our company. They have been able to stay on schedule which has been very important to us.

I would also be remiss not to mention how well you performed as part of the overall project team. The cohesiveness exhibited with each of the firms involved in the project was seamless. You truly made us, your client, feel as if you were all one unit and not several different firms with competing interests. I cannot say enough as to how much that teamwork made the entire project come together.

The project was large and complex and was designed and built on a very fast schedule. It was great to work with a firm that truly understands the CMAR delivery method. As the Architect of Record, DFDG was responsible for the successful outcome of this facility, and the satisfaction of ASU regarding team performance. During the construction phase, we could always count on DFDG for their quick response to challenges and their intensive on-site presence. DFDG provided rapid responses to RFI’s and submittal turnaround.

When Chad said he’d break a leg to make our dream a reality, I thought it was just a metaphor for how far they’d go to make our dream a reality. I didn’t think he’d actually do it! This team rocks.
