DLZ remains fully operational and adjusts to remote work arrangements and social distancing practices on job sites.

On behalf of DLZ, we hope this update finds you and your family safe and healthy in light of the impacts of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

In this time of national crisis, our country is being tested. DLZ has reacted for the health and safety of our clients, communities we live in, and our employees as most of our office staff is now working remotely from home while we maintain minimal personnel at our offices. Our field staff are reporting to construction job sites and industrial facilities as deemed essential and practicing social distancing as well as following health and safety guidance procedures as prescribed by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Our continued investment in technology and our IT systems over the years has prepared us to act quickly, adapt and remain fully operational as we transitioned to working remotely. As we go through these unprecedented circumstances, we expect there will be no disruption in providing high quality plans and services to you. As is our standard practice, your emails and phone calls will be answered in a timely fashion. We are able to set up virtual meetings with shared screens so we can continue to communicate the details of your projects. DLZ is committed to advancing all your projects as well as providing you any additional help as we navigate through COVID-19 together.

We appreciate your continued trust and confidence in our firm. You can always reach our staff by email or cell. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to call us at (800) 336.5352 or email info@dlz.com.

Thank you, and remember we will get through this together.
