dBF Associates, Architects is a design firm established to provide creative professional solutions to clients with unique planning, architectural, research and developmental needs.
Founded in 1982, we remain committed to the conviction that the well designed environment has the enormous potential to enrich people's lives. Our search is for sensitive and intelligent solutions to design problems, through careful consideration of each client's unique needs. The commitment to the quality of our environment is underscored by our conscious decision to control the size and location of the firm in settings that allow us to practice our profession in a relaxed and communicative environment. We currently maintain offices in Charlottesville, Virginia and Annapolis, Maryland.
Our clients have included schools, universities, developers, private homeowners, business owners, public agencies, non-profit groups, churches and local and state government. We have provided services to clients throughout the eastern United States as well as Great Britain and the Peoples Republic of China.
Our response to these often complex and interrelated needs includes the formulation of a project team, including the owner and designated representatives, planners, architects, interior designers, engineers, and members of local, state and federal regulatory boards. Our approach to issues of budget, cost and schedule involves the use of computer-aided cost estimating systems utilizing the input of all members of the design team, coupled with independent cost estimating and value engineering.
We take great pride in a successful history of completing work within budget and on schedule. This commitment to budget and schedule performance has resulted in significant repeat business and satisfied clients.
