Design
At Dasher Lawless we offer comprehensive architectural design/build services from new projects to renovations. We meticulously support our clients from concept to entitlement.
Our endeavors are meticulously orchestrated from the first conceptual design of a particular project to the carefully chosen tenant mix which will ultimately serve the community it inhabits.
Our experience as real estate investors, developers, builders and most importantly consumers has allowed us to truly assess the needs of the community, whether it is in the mixed-use arena, office space, retail, multi-family, residential, hotel, or entertainment.

Architectural Design & Build Services
Dasher Lawless provides comprehensive architectural design and build services — from initial concept and entitlement through construction documentation, permitting, and construction administration. Our design team includes licensed architects with AIA and LEED AP credentials, bringing deep expertise in mixed-use development, automated parking structures, high-density residential, and commercial projects across the United States.
We approach each project as both designer and builder, drawing on our experience as real estate investors, developers, and contractors to deliver designs that are architecturally compelling, construction-ready, and financially grounded. Every project begins with a thorough assessment of community needs, zoning context, and development economics — ensuring the design works as hard as the business case.
