Experience You Can Trust

Award-Winning

Don’t just take our word for it. We’ve been awarded numerous times for both our architectural designs and community involvement.

sustainability

Now more than ever it’s important to consider the environment when designing a building. We have many LEED Accredited professionals who have the experience to apply green building principles on every project.

Experienced

Dasher Hurst takes pride in the diversity of our portfolio. We find that this experience in projects of all sizes and types enhances our ability to think outside the box and develop the most optimal solution for each client and project.

During all phases of the planning, design and construction of this building, Dasher Hurst proved to be very responsive and accommodating to our needs.

They worked very well with me and my staff, with the University of Florida Office of Facilities Planning, the entity that had oversight on the project, and with representatives of Perry McCall, the construction management company. During the construction phase of the project, the cost of construction materials escalated enormously, requiring we make significant adjustments to several components of the project. Dasher Hurst worked with us to identify adjustments that could be made that did not compromise the quality of the final project. We are delighted with the building he designed for us. Based on that experience, if we are in a position to construct any additional building on our campus, I would have no hesitation hiring Mr. Dasher a second time.
