DMR's Dalton Shares Big Ideas

Terry Dalton, founder and chief executive of DMR Architecture was featured in the March 19, 2010 issue of the Charlotte Business Journal. Terry shared the following thoughts in the article titled "DMR draws a new plan for expansion."

When asked how business is different today, Terry says, "We've always run our business lean so that we can provide the best value to our clients without having to charge for extraneous costs … The downturn has reminded us of the importance of diversification."

On the topic of uncovering new business opportunities, Terry says, "We have doubled our business development staff in an effort to expand our reach. And while we continue to nurture our relationships with clients who have been with us for many years, we are actively developing new relationships in markets where we have been successful in the past. We also are more actively pursuing projects outside the Piedmont area."

Terry shared that DMR has "seen an uptick in the desire for sustainability, in particular LEED certification in new projects. DMR Architecture is very fortunate to have a staff of LEED-certified professionals."

The article concluded with Terry's thoughts on lessons learned as an entrepreneur. "In good times, it's important to focus on marketing and business development. And in tough times, it's even more important."
