It is with mixed emotions that DMC announces the departure of Superintendent Nick White. Nick has been a loyal and valued member of the DMC family for almost ten years. It is with mixed emotions only because we are deeply saddened by his decision and yet, at the same time, very excited for Nick and the opportunity that has presented itself. Nick had the opportunity to work closely with Damon Felice of Felice Consulting Services on the construction of the Hartnell College CALL building.  During that project and since Damon obviously recognized the knowledge, professionalism and integrity that Nick demonstrates in everything he does.  Nick’s accomplishments with and for DMC over the past decade are legendary. His work ethic, smiling mug, big heart, and stupid jokes will be sincerely missed.

One of the projects DMC is currently working on is the Hartnell Community College Student Center.

The purpose of this project will include the relocation of the bookstore, mechanical upgrades, electrical upgrades, replacement of existing finishes, signage, AV equipment, the addition of an atrium and the creation of a new student gathering space.

DMC is proud to announce we have completed 500 days without a lost time accident at  the Presidio in Monterey. Construction started on  November 26, 2007 and will continue for another 200 working days.  Hitting 500 days without a lost time accident is a huge accomplishment for any project.  These 500 days are not only for our DMC employees but they are for our subcontractors as well. As we all know this is not an easy goal to achieve. It has been a lot of hard work with extreme attention to detail regarding safety.

DMC Restoration and Remodel had a busy month. With damaging winds and rain hitting the Peninsula and nearby regions, the R/R team activated several Emergency teams to handle any and all calls. Deploying crews throughout the area, DMC R/R successfully removed fallen trees from houses, repaired water damaged and flooded homes and mitigated all further water or wind damage. Working around the clock, during the storms and for days after, DMC R/R crews effectively assisted Carmel Valley, Salinas, Santa Cruz and Monterey Peninsula businesses and residents allowing for a prompt return to normalcy without disruption to their livelihoods. The October storms came as a warning. Please make sure you are prepared for a wet and windy winter.
