Who We Are
DRW, LLC is a Portland, Oregon owned authority in Construction Management and Support Services for public sector clients. We are a State Certified Woman-owned small business. We have 14 years of direct experience providing our clients with talented professionals who excel in Program and Project Management, Construction Management, Quality Assurance / Quality Control Inspections, Project Controls, and Architectural and Engineering Support Services.
Our approach to every project is to understand our client’s expectations. We begin each contract with a thorough needs analysis, prioritization of resources, understanding budgets and long term and immediate program and operational requirements. This allows us to carefully select the most qualified professionals for each of our client’s projects.
As a small, growing firm we make our business personal. The DRW Team, including our sub-consultants, are all local professionals. We are your neighbors and active members in the community and each engagement builds our network of colleagues and friends.
When working in a Prime Contract Holder role, we value working with other local businesses and actively seek out partnerships with other D/M/W/ESB firms. A competitive economy is especially challenging for historically disadvantages businesses. By working together we not only improve our individual companies, we strengthen our small business community.

Mitty, as his friends call him, was left behind at an abandoned homeless camp along the I-205 freeway. Luckily, Animal Rescue and Care Fund brought Mitty to safety. After 3 years on contract staff at DRW, in December 2017 Mitty was offered the full-time job of CFO (Chief Feline Officer) and DRW Brand Ambassador.
Mitty lives full-time at the DRW office because of his unwavering work ethic and dedication to the company. Mitty loves people and once you look into his big blue eyes you will see why he is a favorite among the DRW staff and all who come to visit him.
