Traditional
real estate companies only offer a standard range of services but the DSM Team
intends to re-invent this model by providing holistic complete in-house property
and real estate services through applied experienced based a thorough understanding
of the project life-cycle from concept to handover and operation. An extract
from a report commissioned by the Australian Property Council illustrates the
significant influence of the property industry on the economy, “The property sector has a larger footprint on the
Australian economy than any other industry:

The
Australian property industry is not just about real estate and buying or
selling a home. It is an industry that interconnects and relies both directly
and indirectly to all the major income generating primary and secondary sectors
of the national economy. Property Ownership includes pubic assists or
infrastructure such as roadways, dams, bridges, marine ports, utilities supply,
schools and hospitals. Property Ownership can also be privately owned such as a
small family business, a vacant block of land, a home unit, a house, a
commercial workshop or an industrial warehouse. Some privately owned property
can also be owned collectively.
The DSM Team has collective applied experience and qualifications in the following industries of Property, Building Design, Building Construction, Occupational Health & Safety and Marine Engineering. DSM is also a member of the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia (REIWA). The DSM Management Team has applied experience and academic qualifications in the following vocations:
Building Design and Construction Project Management Services
As an experienced Building Designer and Construction Project Manager the DSM Team can assist you with your building design and construction project. This process is known as the ‘Project life-cycle Concept’. This means transforming your conceptual ‘mud map’ sketches and ideas in to a fully detailed Development Application through to detailed technical architectural construction drawings and contract (instrument of agreement) documents. Other documents produced by working collaboratively with the client include the formation of additional preliminary feasibility studies and budget estimates. A formal detailed bill of quantities and construction drawings assist the client to see their development reach the construction site. The more complex the project, the more resources are required such as special service consultants who provided specialist design advice to implement and execute the project from concept, construction, handover and operation of the development. Short, medium and long-term reactive and preventative maintenance also forms an integral procedure of the on-going project life cycle. We understand some clients work and live well away from a regional centre and may not have access to these kind of specialised services. The DSM Team may be able to assist you as a remote location client.
All our work is ‘bespoke’ or customised
one-off design. We do not engage in mass production or get involved in the
'project home’ construction mentality as there are already too many examples of
poor building design and environmentally unsympathetic building developments
within the community as each development looks the ‘same’ as the next one. You
need to give your property an identity to showcase the difference between your
development in the market place if you want to sell it or rent it. Any party
with a financial interest in your property will demand value for money. Simply developing
your property solely based on extracting the maximum profit from the asset
built on square meter rates is a quick way of turning a profit but results in an
underdeveloped property not able to exploit its sustainable systems, poor environmental
impact and highest degree of profitability. We do not use or recycle old plans
but create original new inspiring concepts from scratch. A building structure
could stand for 50+ or more years and change ownership a number of times.
Ultimately, if an asset like a building is well designed and constructed from
day one, you possess something that will appreciate and hold its value
indefinitely. This is value adding to the present property and something inherently
tangible for the next generation of Property Owner.
Our services building design and
construction project management consultancy services broadly covers the custom
residential market. We produce custom designed homes, grouped/multiple
dwellings (home units, villas, townhouses, house behind/duplex,) additions and
renovations. We can also cater for building design in commercial, industrial
and shop design/fit-out commissions. Through our network of contacts to other
construction consultants we should be able to cater for your most of your
project needs. Interpreting local planning R-Codes, compliance with various
statutory Local or State Environmental Policies and dealing with local
authorities can be demanding if you do not have the experience or applied
technical background to manage and work with sometimes very difficult
bureaucratic processes. The DSM Team could make that merit based Development
Application a reality if expectations are realistic and reasonable.
The Future
It is common knowledge that the majority of the Australian population live along the coastline in major cities and regional centres. This means that as the population density increases we have to become more aware and sensitive of the environmental impact on the next generation. Hence, collective ownership and strata titling of various form of property is inevitable. Dealing with Strata Community Associations, Building Managers and Building Committees will become more common place into the future. The current generation of planners and designers have an obligation to try to preserve a high standard of living for the population but the law, morals, ethics and justice are subject to the constant change of society’s values. Hopefully, the DSM Team can contribute constructively towards building a better and more sustainable built environment. Presently, the DSM Team is working diligently on a number of new businesses development interests to broaden its service base.
