THE DLZ DIFFERENCE

We exist to serve our clients and to meet their needs. Our

employees regularly reinforce a constant focus on client

service.

• We view every engagement, no matter how small, as a long-term relationship; with 80% of our work being repeat business.

• 24 Hour Response – Our entire staff is encouraged to provide a response to clients within 24 hours.

• Project Managers with Resources – Our project managers have the decision-making authority needed to make both them and their projects successful.

• Less bureaucracy = more success – Our organization chart is only one page, allowing us to respond to our clients’ needs in a quick and decisive manner.

• More Human Interaction = Less Auto-Attendant Interaction – When you call our office during regular business hours, you will reach a staff member, not a voice prompt.
