A lighting supplier built for the people who build multifamily.
Based in Dallas, TX, DRS supplies lighting, appliances, and hardware for multifamily new builds and renovations — with the estimating, value engineering, and warehouse logistics that keep a package on budget and on schedule.
Four ways we keep your lighting on track.
Every service below is tuned to how multifamily actually gets built — unit counts, build phases, and the change-order math that erodes margin when procurement slips.
We supply the whole building.
Lighting, appliances, and hardware for garden, wrap, and podium builds — new construction and renovation alike. Product is organized the way your plans are: Units, Amenity, Building, and Site Lighting.
Because we work across the full package rather than a single category, one team carries the scope from takeoff through final delivery.
VE that happens before the PO.
Value engineering usually arrives late — after a bid comes back over budget or a lead time blows past the schedule — which leaves no time to do it properly.
We work from your specs, or recommend styles, finishes, and VE options that keep the project on track. We also stock a curated list of go-to fixtures, so ask us about in-stock, discounted alternatives for quick and simple swaps.
The point is to bring options to the table while there is still time to weigh them against design intent, not to substitute something cheaper once the schedule has already broken.
One package. One PO. One schedule.
We simplify procurement by bundling product, freight, and jobsite support. Volume pricing and organized packaging keep field teams moving and change orders to a minimum.
Then we hold your fixtures in our warehouse and release shipments per your build schedule — labeled by unit, floor, or building — so you avoid jobsite clutter and delays.
Send plans. Get a takeoff.
Send us your plans and unit counts. We provide accurate lighting takeoffs, spec-matched products, and value engineered options that meet your design and budget goals — before the first PO is even written.
Getting the takeoff done early is what makes everything downstream possible: real budget numbers, real lead times, and VE options chosen deliberately rather than under pressure.
Dallas base. Continental reach.
Our warehouse is in Carrollton, just north of Dallas. Our documented projects run from Austin and Fort Worth to Nashville, Colorado Springs, Madison, and Arlington, Virginia.
