Private companies have revolutionized space exploration by integrating design, engineering, and manufacturing. In recent years they’ve slashed costs, accelerated innovation, and democratized space.

At DVN Development, we’re applying this same groundbreaking approach to architecture and real estate. 

The traditional real estate development model is riddled with inefficiencies, miscommunications, and missed opportunities. The teams are fragmented, information is siloed, and navigating this complex web is expensive.

It’s like trying to construct a rocket with different teams building the engines, fuel tanks, and navigation systems in isolation.

Problems with today’s typical development process:

  1. Multiple Disconnected Parties: Projects involve a complex web of stakeholders – developers, architects, engineers, contractors, subcontractors, and consultants. Each operates in their own silo, often with conflicting priorities and communication styles.

  2. Information Silos: Critical project information is scattered across various platforms and teams, leading to delays, errors, and duplicated efforts.

  3. Misaligned Incentives: Each party’s financial interests may not align with the overall project goals, potentially leading to decisions that benefit individual stakeholders at the expense of the project as a whole.

  4. Sequential Decision-Making: The linear nature of the traditional process means that crucial decisions are often made without input from all relevant experts, leading to costly changes and revisions later in the project.

  5. Inefficient Resource Allocation: The fragmented approach often results in redundant work, underutilized expertise, and missed opportunities for innovation and cost-saving.

  6. Risk Aversion: With so many parties involved, there’s a tendency to stick to “tried-and-true” methods, stifling innovation and limiting the potential for groundbreaking designs or construction techniques.

  7. Slow Adaptation to New Technologies: The disconnected nature of the industry makes it challenging to implement new technologies consistently across all aspects of a project.

This fragmented approach is akin to how NASA and traditional aerospace companies operated before SpaceX revolutionized the industry. By bringing design, manufacturing, and operations under one roof, SpaceX dramatically reduced costs, increased efficiency, and accelerated innovation.

SILOS

At DVN, we’ve merged architecture and development into a seamless process. No more disconnect between visionary designs and practical realities. No more brilliant ideas lost in translation between architects and developers.

ARCHITECT + DEVELOPER =

REAL-TIME DECISION MAKING

Like SpaceX engineers tweaking rocket designs in real-time, we can adjust our architecture and development plans on the fly to meet market demands or overcome challenges. We’re nimble, responding to internal and external stimuli throughout the process to yield the highest and best outcome with minimal friction.

Say goodbye to endless back-and-forth between separate firms and hours spent creating presentations to convey an idea. Our integrated team moves from concept to completion with speed and precision. During the site selection process we’re conceptualizing the design and analyzing the financial potential of each opportunity. Each decision, throughout design, documentation, and construction, is simultaneously evaluated for its architectural and economic impact.

With full control over both design and development, we’re free to push boundaries and explore new possibilities. We weigh the cost-benefit of each aggressive step forward. We intentionally cultivate innovation, understanding its power to generate compounding returns over time.

By eliminating middlemen, redundancies, and unnecessary steps in the traditional development process, we significantly reduce costs without compromising on quality or creativity. The time we save during the design and development process is directly reinvested into the quality of our assets and the experiences they provide to their users. 

DISRUPTING THE STATUS QUO

At DVN, we’re not just moving fast and breaking things –

we’re rebuilding the entire system from the ground up.
