Founded in 1997 by licensed engineer Aleksandra Chancy, PE, DACK Consulting has grown from a one-desk estimating firm in White Plains, NY into a nationally recognised construction management and consulting practice. Over more than 25 years, we've delivered services on every project type — from transit megaprojects like the MTA 2nd Ave Subway and LaGuardia Airport Terminal B expansion to commercial developments, institutional facilities, and international ventures in France, Russia, Vietnam, and the Caribbean. Proudly certified as both a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Woman Business Enterprise (WBE), we collaborate with agencies, municipalities, developers, architects, and contractors to bring projects to life on time and within budget.

We are construction professionals whose name says it all: Dedication, Accountability, Competence, Knowledge. Our diverse team of project managers, schedulers, estimators, compliance specialists, and emergency management experts brings deep, real-world construction knowledge to every engagement. Led by Aleksandra Chancy — adjunct professor at Columbia University and member of ASCE, AACE, and AIA — we are committed to professional excellence and meaningful community contribution. We work for owners, agencies, developers, design firms, contractors, and construction managers across the full spectrum of project types and scales.

DACK provides a comprehensive suite of construction consulting services spanning every phase of the project lifecycle. Our eight practice areas — Project Management, Owner's Representation, Estimating, Scheduling, Emergency Management, Property Management, MWBE Outreach & Compliance, and Training — give clients a single trusted partner for any project challenge. Whether overseeing multi-billion-dollar infrastructure programmes or guiding MWBEs through their first public-sector bids, we deliver precise, efficient consulting for stellar outcomes.

Our purpose is to provide clients — from local agencies to global developers — with the very best professional construction consulting services on the market. We are dedicated to delivering projects that reflect the highest standards of quality, integrity, and professionalism, while advancing opportunity and equity in the construction industry through our MWBE work and training programmes.

Dedication — every project receives our close, personal attention. Accountability — we say what we'll do, and we do what we say. Competence — we have the ability to perform, understanding the full complexity of logistics and construction. Knowledge — our team of construction professionals brings years of experience and a varied technical background to every challenge.

With over 25 years of continuous operation and a portfolio spanning billions of dollars in construction cost, DACK brings proven expertise that few firms can match. As an MBE/WBE-certified firm, we bring unique perspective and commitment to diversity. Our estimators, schedulers, and project managers have real-world contractor and agency experience, making our analysis highly accurate and actionable. We've been recognised as a Best Place to Work in Engineering and awarded the Business Council of Westchester Hall of Fame 'Minority Business Success' award — proof that our commitment to people drives results.

Community engagement is part of DACK's DNA. Founder Aleksandra Chancy volunteers time and expertise to charitable organisations across the New York area. The DACK team participates in initiatives such as volunteering with Feeding Westchester and supporting mentorship programmes including the New York MTA Mentorship Program. Through our Training Division, we help MWBEs, small businesses, and contractors build the skills they need to compete and thrive in the construction market.

As a Minority-Owned and Woman-Owned Business Enterprise, DACK is a living example of what inclusive leadership delivers. Our MWBE Outreach & Compliance practice helps clients meet and exceed diversity requirements on major projects, while our Training Division equips underrepresented businesses with the tools to succeed. We celebrate Women in Construction Week and actively foster a workforce that reflects the communities in which we build.
