Start with the property
The house and the homesite have to work as one project.
Many Chelsea and Sterrett projects begin with acreage, wooded ground, slope, a long driveway, or utilities that are not where an owner first assumes. Those conditions are not separate from the house budget. They influence placement, foundation strategy, drainage, access, outdoor space, and how construction can physically happen.
DMC studies the proposed home against the actual ground so an attractive property does not become an expensive surprise after plans are finished or land is purchased.
Paid preconstruction
Replace early assumptions with buildable information.
A floor plan is not a construction budget. DMC connects site conditions, architectural and engineering documents, defined scope, major selections, consultant input, procurement, schedule, and responsibilities before detailed pricing is treated as reliable.
This is paid work because it produces project-specific analysis and coordination—not a free estimate built from incomplete information.
- Homesite and constructability review
- Budget and scope alignment
- Architect and consultant coordination
- Permit and approval planning
- Selections, procurement, and schedule strategy
Professional depth
Full-lifecycle leadership changes what the builder sees.
Doug Moss has led more than $346 million in documented construction across 2,532 residential units and 3.1 million square feet. His work spans custom and speculative homes, multifamily and student housing, major civil and site packages, and distressed-project recovery.
That breadth matters on a custom home because the land, structure, building systems, envelope, schedule, budget, and finish work are not separate problems. DMC applies developer-level preconstruction knowledge, superintendent-level field command, and owner-level financial accountability from the first site decision through handover.
