With the launch of a new name and a new logo, Needham DBS, formerly Needham & Associates, is sharpening the company's focus on providing time and cost savings while maintaining high-quality work for contractors and owners.
Jeff Needham, CEO of the company said, "Needham has integrated Design Build Steel, formerly a sister division, into the fold of services we provide. Our industry needs more hands-on engineers, someone who can take the project from concept, to design and detail, and to the field, making sure there are no gaps. Our structural steel framing systems and design-build delivery system provide contractors with precious time so they can focus on construction. Needham DBS was an early adopter of BIM and uses Concurrent Design and Detailing to accelerate construction schedule. Time, higher industry quality standards, and low project cost all come together for our clients."
Bob Cook, Senior Field Superintendent with Strickland Construction, worked with Needham DBS recently for the first time. He said, "We had a Needham engineer on-site making sure all materials arrived safely. When steel erection began, Needham had people there. Any field issues that came up, Needham's people were there. No delays. They handled inventory, followed up with suppliers, fixing any issues that arose. This is priceless and saves me time as a constructor. All of the folks I have worked with at Needham did a tremendous job...from design to execution...I can't say enough good things about them."
