Development Facilitators

Development Facilitators, Inc. (DFI) was created in 1978 by Raymond E. Streib, a professional engineer (P.E.), after he received requests from a group of private developers in Anne Arundel, Maryland, looking for a civil engineering firm to help facilitate the permit process for their projects. From there the company grew to include top quality project management and inspection services, as well as survey services, to facilitate their development projects. With their office located in Anne Arundel, DFI quickly expanded to serving numerous counties and state agencies within Maryland.

Development Facilitators, Inc.'s (DFI) Survey Department performs an array of survey and mapping services for residential and commercial entities, as well as the private sector, within Maryland. DFI's surveyors can perform a multitude of surveys to help a property owner, whether for a residential or commercial client, to find their boundary lines to mapping services, including drawings, to locating underground utilities, such as sewer lines. The survey crew works in Maryland in compliance with state, local and American Land Title Association/National Society of Professional Surveyors (ALTA/NSPS) standards.

DFI has had the opportunity to partner with Morgan State University in the Undergraduate Program in Construction Management. Walter Edward Dukes, Ph. D., Program Director, has been instrumental in fostering collaboration between industry professionals and students. DFI has provided credit instruction in both classroom settings and on active construction sites toward the goal of current construction management and inspection industry exposure. Both students and DFI benefit by the sharing of information on new technologies and techniques.
