DGC is a family-run general contractor based in Ottawa. We handle concrete, interlock, foundation work, excavation, and landscaping with the level of detail and accountability you usually only get from a contractor your neighbour recommends. Every project is supervised on site, every step is communicated clearly, and every finish is built to hold up through Ottawa winters.

Where Most Projects Go Wrong

Construction fails when the process gets sloppy.

Most project problems are not random. They come from weak planning, scattered communication, and crews who only react after the delay is already costing you. We solve that with tighter site control, clearer reporting, and execution that stays accountable from day one to handoff.

01
The Problem

Projects slow down because nobody has a clean view of what's happening on site.

Material updates, trade schedules, and owner decisions get scattered across calls, texts, and stray notes, so the team finds out about a delay after it has already cost a day.

How We Fix It

We tighten communication before delays can compound.

We set the scope clearly, sequence the trades early, and keep reporting structured so decisions get made before they hold up the build.

02
The Problem

Budget drift starts when small misses turn into expensive rework.

Vague scopes, rushed handoffs between trades, and weak site supervision create mistakes that are cheap to prevent and painful to fix later.

How We Fix It

We build control into the work, not just the finish.

Our process catches details early, aligns trades properly, and trims waste, so the budget keeps moving toward progress instead of patching mistakes.

03
The Problem

Clients lose trust the moment updates only show up after something goes wrong.

A lot of contractors communicate well before kickoff, then go quiet until there is a delay, an invoice issue, or a quality problem to explain.

How We Fix It

We keep visibility high from the first call to the final handoff.

You get clearer updates, cleaner accountability, and a project rhythm where the next step is always obvious, never a guess.

Meet The Builders

Meet The Dirani's

Aly and Prince Dirani came to Canada from Lebanon and left a lot behind, but they brought decades of hands-on construction experience with them. Back home, they spent years on real job sites, learning the trade the way it should be learned, working alongside masons, framers, and finishers who took the work personally.

When they settled in Ottawa, they kept building, kept learning, and started DGC to bring that same standard of craft, accountability, and old-world pride to Canadian homes and businesses. Every project they take on is one they would be comfortable putting their own name on, because they do.

    Start Your Project

    How We Work

    A clear process from first call to final handoff

    Five tight stages, defined checkpoints, and clean communication at every step, so you always know where the project is and where it is going next.

    01 Start

    Consultation & site review

    We start with a real conversation, what you want, what the site allows, and what the practical constraints look like before any timeline gets quoted.

    This stage removes guesswork and sets the tone for the rest of the project.
    02 Planning

    Scope, quote & schedule

    We define the work in writing, sequence the trades, and lock down a schedule that aligns materials, labour, and your expectations before anything breaks ground.

    Clear planning is what kills the surprises later.
    03 Prep

    Site prep & coordination

    Before the visible work begins, we prepare the site properly, confirm material delivery, and line up the trades so the build phase runs with less friction.

    A clean setup phase makes the actual construction faster and cleaner.
    04 Build

    Execution & progress control

    We carry out the work with tight supervision, daily site checks, and consistent quality control throughout the active build, not just at the end.

    This is where structure matters most. Strong process protects the finished result.
    05 Finish

    Walkthrough & handoff

    We walk the site with you, address final details, and hand the project over with clarity, so nothing feels rushed and nothing gets left undone.

    The goal is a project that feels finished, not just done.

    Client Feedback

    What Ottawa clients say after the job is done

    Clear communication, clean execution, and work that holds up through the seasons. These are the things our clients remember most.

    Professional from start to finish.

    The team stayed organized, communicated clearly, and delivered exactly what was quoted. The whole project felt structured and reliable from the first walkthrough to the last detail.

    No surprises, just solid execution.

    We always knew what stage the project was at and what was happening next. Their planning and follow-through made the whole experience much smoother than we expected.

    Quality work with real accountability.

    They kept the schedule, kept the site under control, and handled the small details properly. That kind of consistency is genuinely hard to find around here.

    Frequently Asked

    Answers before you even have to ask

    The questions clients usually bring to the first call. If yours is not here, reach out and we will give you a real answer.

    How long does a typical project take?
    It depends on the scope, but every project starts with a written schedule before anything breaks ground. Small jobs like driveway repairs can wrap in a few days. Larger interlock, foundation, or full landscaping projects usually run one to three weeks. You will always know the realistic timeline before we start.
    Do you provide free quotes?
    Yes. We come out, walk the site, ask the right questions, and give you a clear written quote with no pressure to commit. The site visit and the quote are always free.
    Are you licensed and insured?
    Fully licensed and insured for residential and commercial work in Ontario. We are happy to share documentation before any contract is signed so you have full peace of mind.
    Do you handle permits?
    Yes. When a project requires a permit, we manage the paperwork, the city coordination, and the inspections so you do not have to chase any of it down.
    Do you offer a warranty on your work?
    Every project comes with a workmanship warranty appropriate to the scope of work. We stand behind what we build, and if something needs attention later, we are easy to reach.
    What payment methods do you accept?
    We accept e-transfer, certified cheque, and credit card for residential projects. Larger commercial projects can be invoiced on a milestone schedule that we agree on in advance.
