What DLD Consulting & Construction does

DLD Consulting & Construction (legally T&D Development Services, previously DLD Contractors Inc.) is a family-owned specialty construction firm founded by Pete Davis in 1989 in Los Angeles, California. The company designs and builds luxury hospitality venues — nightclubs, high-end restaurants, and hotels — alongside custom residential homes, multi-unit developments, and commercial tenant improvements. Its work is concentrated in Greater Southern California (Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Orange Counties) and has expanded into Nevada with Las Vegas Strip projects. Operationally, DLD runs three sub-brands: T&D Modern Construction for multi-unit development, JD Create for custom home building, and DLD Contractors for nightclubs, restaurants and tenant improvements. The firm claims an exclusive flagship relationship with SBE (Sam Nazarian's hospitality and entertainment group) and has delivered signature projects including The Colony (Hollywood, 2010), The Redbury (Hollywood & Vine, 2011), and work at SLS Beverly Hills and on the Las Vegas Strip.

Under the hood, the business is a project-services operation rather than a technology platform. There is no proprietary software, no AI/ML capability, and no disclosed integrations or SDKs; the technology stack is a standard WordPress-based marketing and quote-request website plus direct phone/email contact with three named principals (Tony Sher, David L. Davis, Josh Davis). The revenue model is one-time, project-based construction contracts priced via quote, with the firm explicitly positioning itself in the middle of the market — not the lowest-cost nor the highest-cost provider — sustained by long-standing supplier and subcontractor relationships. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting high-profile hospitality operators, complemented by direct-to-consumer engagement for custom-home clients, with no intermediaries or channel partners.
