Our philosophy is underpinned by a strong belief in elegant, practical and cost-effective design solutions. We invest time in developing strong relationships with our clients, fellow consultants and contractors to ensure that each project is a success and enjoyable for all involved.

we WORK Together

At DGA we offer everyone flexibility to encourage a positive work life balance and try to offset all the hard work and dedication our team puts into each project by going for regular office lunches or informal art and architecture visits. We ensure we spend a day out of the office at least twice a year to engage with team bonding, social activities with a bit of architecture sometimes thrown in! We look to give everyone at DGA the opportunity to enhance their professional careers by providing support, guidance and training tailored to each team members individual goals.
