Recognizing technology as an amplifier of human power and as an extender of human reach, at Donato Design & Development we allocate substantial resources for the purchase, maintenance and constant upgrading of our design, management and communications infrastructure.

Through today’s empowering network technology, for instance, we can conform to a horizontal organization model, where all parts of the whole—clients, company members, suppliers—are interconnected and working synergistically towards a project’s success.

And since information is the unifying element of the intelligent organization, the latest technology allows us to more effectively manage and stay abreast of all the multiple factors and details that comprise any project.

From connecting our job sites to headquarters and from our headquarters to the world through the Internet, and from our state-of-the-art software for designing and maintaining 3-dimensional virtual buildings to the latest cost-control and estimating software, we are embracing technology to drive our firm towards the future.

For example, through our private, high-speed wireless network we can receive progress reports, photos and videos instantly from any project, thus allowing us to respond swiftly and effectively to any situation which may arise on the field, enabling us to share this vital information with owners and suppliers, on-line.

Through our state-of-the-art design, estimating and facility management software we can create virtual models linked to data bases that track all the elements with which a building is put together and maintained. This makes it possible to design and manage a building throughout its entire lifecycle, cutting down dramatically on the duplication of efforts. It also offers a high level of interoperability with different systems, allowing us to connect and collaborate with associates anywhere around the world.

Through our accounting software, we can have an up-to-date tracking of costs, allowing greater control and savings in this age of shortened delivery times, tighter budgets and increased competition.

And we use the wide access capabilities and wealth of resources of the Internet, and the connectivity of private intranets, to foster project collaboration with owners and suppliers, communicate for bids and results, conduct important research, procure necessary goods and services, and for multiple other uses.
