About Us
DG Frondorf and Associates, LLC was founded by Daniel G. Frondorf in 1999. Recognizing a need for accurate estimating and related technical services among small and mid-sized sitework contractors, Daniel provided services to support these already overworked contractor staffs, allowing them to do the hands-on work required.
Because of the demand for these services, DGFA has grown to meet the needs of its clients, and has become a unique family enterprise that is used over and over by companies both small and large. DGFA has helped companies with estimates on every significant construction project in the Greater Cincinnati area for more than 15 years.
Our clients have changed through the years, too, and now include not only contractors, but architects, engineers, construction management firms, developers, property owners and other consultants. Whatever your estimating, budgeting and project-specific data needs, DGFA provides you with accurate, complete, timely, and friendly service.
