2014 Specialty Contractor of the Year
James B. Donaghey, Inc. reinforced its reputation as one of the Gulf Coast’s leading mechanical contractors when the Subcontractors Association named it the 2014 Specialty Contractor of the Year for South Alabama.
Our design-build / design-assist team continually meets and exceeds customers’ expectations, using solid engineering methodology to deliver cost-effective, well-planned mechanical services in a safe, professional manner. The ability to prefabricate using BIM and VDC in our own shops assures the owner that we will meet any schedule, on time and under budget.
Also serving commercial buildings, multi-story facilities, hospitality, communications and manufacturing plants across the Gulf Coast.
Our work is grounded in solid engineering methodology, BIM/VDC prefabrication and a self-performing workforce of sheet metal mechanics, pipefitters, plumbers and professional engineers. The result is logical, cost-effective building systems — delivered on schedule, in a safe, professional manner.
A fully automated 20,000 sq ft sheet metal shop with an automated duct coil line, state-of-the-art laser cutters (installed 2026) and multiple corner and TDF machines. Rectangular duct, fittings and assemblies are fabricated to SMACNA standards in galvanized, stainless steel and aluminum, so they arrive coordinated and ready to hang.
A 15,000 sq ft pipe and plumbing prefabrication shop for very quick turnaround, with an automated pipe profiler and an automated welding machine. BIM or CAD files load directly to the shop equipment for accurate spools, racks and assemblies on HVAC, plumbing, process and underground piping in carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum and copper.
Off-site fabrication cuts field labor, jobsite congestion and rework. Work leaves the shop quality-checked and sequenced for just-in-time delivery.
Behind the shops is a full complement of well-trained, highly skilled sheet metal mechanics, pipe fitters and plumbers, with multiple professional engineers on staff supporting fabrication and the field workforce.
