Anthony DeCesaris - President (Veteran US Army)
Mr. DeCesaris entered the family business of home building and land development after his service in the United states Army. By 1993, Mr. DeCesaris focused on site work, demolition, and general contracting services to some of the most prestigious developers in the Washington D.C. Metropolitan Area.
Anthony's timely completion of projects with fiscal responsibility and sensitivity for the client's budget, earned him numerous opportunities, contract awards, and repeat business from large scale homebuilders, commercial and mixed-use developers. DPI has consistently delivered on his company's motto of, "Do It Right the First Time"
The economic downturn in the construction industry provided a need for completion contractors to finish the construction on projects where the principal had failed to fulfill their obligation. Anthony was instrumental in the negotiation of this process with the surety companies and continues to cultivate their partnering for future projects.
Today, Mr. DeCesaris is expanding DPI's core business model to include securing opportunities in all branches and divisions of the federal government while looking to utilize the latest techniques in green design and development along with sustainable growth practices. Recently, with the federally mandated initiative to clean the waterways of the U.S., DPI has been a major contributor to remediate and install best management practices of stormwater management facilities. Reconstruction of ponds, sand filters, bio ponds, infiltration trenches, forebays and inflows and outfalls of these facilities have been a large part of Dirt Plus's focus.
