Public Sector Growth DLZ has recently secured a major government-related project with Lorain County for a 540-bed jail podular design, indicating strong potential for expanded involvement in public infrastructure and correctional facility projects.

Leadership Expansion New executive hires including a Vice President & General Counsel and a Chief Financial Officer, along with a President appointment, suggest strategic growth and a stronger emphasis on governance, risk management, and large-scale project execution—opportunities to position DLZ for more complex, multi-district engagements.

In-House Delivery Model DLZ offers integrated in-house planning, design, surveying, construction administration, and materials testing, which can be pitched to clients seeking single-point accountability, faster cycle times, and cost efficiencies on multi-disciplinary infrastructure programs.

Sustainability & Community Focus As a family- and minority-owned firm with a mission to turn vision into reality for communities, DLZ can be aligned with municipal and agency programs prioritizing inclusive growth, resilience, and sustainable infrastructure, presenting cross-sell opportunities across planning, design, and construction phases.

Strategic Partnerships Recent collaboration with BMJ Engineers & Surveyors and local engagement signals openness to regional partnerships, enabling joint pursuits on larger, mixed-discipline projects and expanding the firm’s local delivery footprint to win more RFPs.
