What Daniels & Daniels Construction Company does

Daniels & Daniels Construction Company is a family-owned general contractor founded in 1962 in Goldsboro, North Carolina by brothers James and Benjamin Daniels, now in its third generation of family ownership under CEO Jeff Daniels and President Jeremiah Daniels. The company delivers construction services across the Carolinas through five delivery methods: Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) with Guaranteed Maximum Price, traditional Design-Bid-Build, single-source Design-Build turn-key, Pre-Engineered Construction via its long-standing Star Building Systems franchise (since 1986), and Project Development services spanning site selection, land procurement, and creative lease options. Core technology is the Sage Timberline Office suite for estimating, scheduling, project management, and accounting integration; no API, proprietary platform, or AI/ML tooling is offered.

The company serves public and private clients across seven verticals: K-12 public school districts, higher education (community colleges and universities), federal/military installations (Seymour Johnson AFB, Camp Lejeune/NAVFAC, USACE projects), municipal governments (counties, cities, housing authorities), healthcare providers, commercial/private clients, and aviation facilities. Revenue is earned on a project basis through competitive public procurement, CMAR proposals, and design-build RFPs, with multi-year contracts and no publicly disclosed pricing. Notable safety performance includes the #1 national AGC Construction Safety Excellence Award (2024), NCDOL Building Star Contractor status (only the 24th in NC), OSHA SHARP certified projects, LEED Gold certifications, and 245,000 man-hours with zero lost-time incidents on the Fremont Elementary School project.

Overlaps with Daniels & Daniels in delivery methods, customer types, and southeastern US institutional work, though at materially larger scale.
• Clancy & Theys Construction Company: Long-established North Carolina general contractor (Raleigh) operating across commercial, education, healthcare, and senior living sectors. Comparable regional size, delivery model, and customer segments to Daniels & Daniels.
• T.A. Loving Company: North Carolina-based general contractor founded in 1925, operating across eastern NC with comparable delivery methods (CMAR, design-build) and similar public-sector focus in K-12, higher education, healthcare, and municipal work.
