By Jay AdamsCEG CORRESPONDENT
Only in America can a former ironworker figure out a bet-ter way to estimate steel costs for his company and then endup at Harvard to build a new part of the university.
Dan Koury has operated his own company — D. KouryConstruction — in Warwick, R.I., since Feb. 22, 1993. Hebegan in his uncle’s company — Koury Steel Erection Inc.where he was employed from 1982 to 1992 — tried to recti-fy old world thinking in the modern age and ended up work-ing on many large-scale projects around New England, from
Harvard University in Cambridge to Battery Wharf inBoston to Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut.
Better Estimates, New World“He [my uncle] was one of the largest steel erectors in
Rhode Island, but times were changing and it was tough forhim to adjust. I worked as an ironworker for a couple ofyears, was accepted to Local No. 37’s apprenticeship pro-gram in 1983,” said Koury. “From 1984 until 1985 I workedin Boston with our lawyers and legal consultants helping pre-pare a multi-million dollar lawsuit for a large project thatKSE had completed in 1983.

“After the lawsuit was settled, I was brought into theoffice to learn how to estimate. I quickly realized that the bid-ding was being done in a primitive manner and that changeshad to be made,” he added. “I spent the first two or threeyears in the office establishing cost basis for estimating andcompletely changed how jobs were priced. It was very diffi-cult to change the ‘old ways’ of the company.”
After taking over estimating, Koury began years of dis-cussions to bring new electronic marvels like fax machinesand computers into the office to help bookkeeping, esti-mates, communication and so much more.
“I had never used a computer, so I read the manuals andtaught myself how to use a UNIX based computer. I then hadto learn about accounting, so I had my uncle’s CPA give mesome books to read, which eventually allowed me to auto-mate the entire accounting, billing and job cost system [bythe late 1980s].”
On His Own, Kourying FavorAfter some more months of being at odds with old school
thinking that came with an old school company, Kourydecided to strike out on his own in 1992, with “No idea ofhow I would pay my mortgage,” said Koury.
He incorporated his own business in February 1993 withabout $13,000 in cash and a handful of tools.
“I began bidding work from my basement and landed sev-eral jobs for the late summer of 1993. I immediately startednegotiating with various vendors and equipment suppliers toprovide me with some of the necessary supplies that I wouldneed until I was able to pay them,” said the budding entre-preneur.
When his fledgling company started its first job in August1993, he had only the bare minimum in tools and equipment.
“I utilized every credit card that I, and two of my brothers,had as well as borrowed money from a University of RhodeIsland grad student that was renting a room from me,” herecalled. “I would borrow my cousin’s landscaping truck atnight so that we could pick up and deliver the necessary toolsto get through the next day.
“My brother David helped me when we first got started,
but soon moved on to overseeing projects all around theworld. My brother Jeremy began working for me in 1984and has been our shop manager since 1988. He is responsi-ble for providing our job sites with all the tools, equipmentand material that they need to complete our jobs. He has twodrivers under his management,” said Koury.
When it came time to hire field personnel to run his newjobs, Koury called himself lucky because he had developedmany relationships with excellent ironworkers during histime at Koury Steel Erectors.
“I also had developed many trusting relationships with thevarious union representatives throughout New England,” headded.
For the first three years of being in business, Koury had tobalance the lack of tools, trucks and cash.
“There were times when we were within hours of missingpayroll and it looked like we would fail. By the end of 1994,my uncle was closing KSE and was auctioning off his massamount of old equipment. We rented a small building acrossthe street, bought as much equipment as we could afford, anddragged it across the street,” said Koury.
“Amazingly, we kept getting by and were building up areasonable amount of tools and equipment. We were erect-ing a lot of smaller jobs [more than 30 Stop & ShopSupermarket buildings] as well as some medium jobs [officebuildings throughout Massachusetts].”

From 2008 to 2010, D. Koury worked on the Harvardnorthwest corner building and garage, Cambridge,Mass. Koury erected and operated an electric Potain605B tower crane that it leased from L.J. Crane.
A large truss was assembled in the air due to its heavyweight at the Harvard northwest corner building andgarage project.
Hangars were erected at the Army Aviation SupportFacility in North Kingstown, R.I. Koury subcontractedthe crane service to Imperatore Crane; general con-tractor was Bacon Construction Co.

NHDOT Engineers Shut DownMemorial Bridge for Repairs
The New Hampshire Department ofTransportation (NHDOT) and the MaineDepartment of Transportation (MaineDOT)announced the closure to motor vehicle traf-fic of the Memorial Bridge carrying U.S.Route 1 over the Piscataqua River betweenPortsmouth, N.H., andKittery, Maine
The bridge closure tookplace at noon on Dec. 9.Based upon a detail reviewof the most recent detailedinspection of the MemorialBridge, engineers at theNHDOT, the lead agency onthis lift bridge, have deter-mined the closure is neces-sary due to the deteriorationof two gusset plates. Onegusset plate is located on theMaine fixed span, and one is located on theNew Hampshire fixed span. Both locationsare on the upstream side of the bridge.Gusset plates connect bridge beams or trussmembers to load-bearing columns.
The Memorial Bridge will remain open to
bicycle and pedestrian traffic on the down-stream sidewalk. Bridge lift operations willcontinue for marine traffic.
Signed detours will be in place on bothsides of the Piscataqua River during thebridge closure directing motorists to either
the Sarah Long Bridge (U.S. 1 Bypass) orthe Interstate 95 high level bridge.
The NHDOT is looking at potential repairoptions, and will decide in consultation withthe Maine DOT what can be done to reopenthe bridge to a 3-ton (2.7 t) weight limit.
Engineers at NHDOT havedetermined the closure is necessary due to the deterioration of two gussetplates.

Casino and HotelIn the summer of 1995, Koury’s company landed a huge
fish. It started the erection of the smoke-free casino atFoxwoods Casino, which would become the most produc-tive gambling enterprise in the New England states, with rev-enues quickly ascending into the billions.
“This was a fast-track ‘million dollar job’ for a verydemanding client,” said Koury. “We put the job up so fast,and so efficiently, that we were invited to bid the GrandPequot Tower at Foxwoods [the 26-story hotel and casino].We were awarded the Grand Pequot Tower, some interiorwork at the Mashantucket Museum as well as the precastconcrete parking garage. From the summer of 1995, untillate 1998, we employed up to 100 ironworkers and complet-ed more than $20 million of contracts there.”
Since then, Koury Construction has worked on manyprojects in Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
“We have developed an excellent reputation of providingquality and safety without compromising our customer’sdeadlines,” said Koury.
Many Big ProjectsDespite updates, growth and many changes that come
with success, Koury still occupies the same building inWarwick where it started. It also owns and operates a ware-house on Route 2 in East Greenwich, R.I.
Today, Koury may employ from as many as 20 to 100people, depending on the job, project or season. Its equip-ment lot is smaller than most, but filled with the right stuff.
“We own a lot of small specialized equipment and tools.We own diesel and gas welders, a Caterpillar telescopingforklift, two 250 kW portable generators and a 100 kWportable generator,” said Koury. “We regularly rent truckcranes and occasionally rent tower cranes; the most recenttower crane being at Harvard N.W. Corner Building in
Cambridge. In 2006, we utilized two TG tower cranes toerect the Battery Wharf project in the north end of Boston.”
Its projects have included erecting new buildings for twouniversities, including the Harvard N.W. Corner Buildingand Garage ($4 million) and The New College Theater atHarvard, as well as the Brown University Life ScienceBuilding in Providence, R.I.
Koury also has worked at the big Providence Place Mall
as a subcontractor to American Bridge and the FidelityInvestment Office Building in Smithfield, R.I.
Currently, the company is just “finishing up” with RogerWellington Elementary School in Belmont, Mass., the U.S.Army Aviation Hangar, in North Kingstown, R.I., and theL.B.J. Apartments, in Cambridge, Mass. It also is workingon the MITRE Building L project in Bedford, Mass.
Over the last two decades, Koury has worked with someof the largest and most prominent regional and Rhode Islandconstruction and contracting companies, such as GilbaneBuilding Company, Turner Construction Company, Suffolk,C.R. Klewin, Skanska USA, John Moriarty & Associates,Dimeo Construction Company, Agostini/BaconConstruction Company, Lee Kennedy and Shawmut Design& Construction.
Its projects usually range from $100,000 to more than $25million.
Always Meeting DeadlinesTimetables and deadlines
vary on each project, but oneof the key assets in workingwith D. Koury Constructionis its ability to keep to thosedeadlines.
“We are on time and on-budget with our projects.Contractors that work withus know they can put theirproject on our shoulders andrely on us to erect their steelsafely and on time,” saidKoury.
Most of Koury’s fieldsupervisors have been withhim since the beginning.
“They have all not onlywitnessed the growth of thisbusiness, but more impor-tantly, they have been a part
of it. Every business owner hopes to have people workingfor him or her who take pride in delivering a quality productand take personal pride in their work. I am lucky to havethose types of people working with me,” he added.
He gave specific credit to three general foremen: RonBinette, Wayne Iodice and Mike Peloso.
“This consistency in leadership and management has pro-vided a solid foundation on which to build relationships and
trust with those who work with us,” he said.“We have some of the very best iron workers in New
England working with us,” said Koury. “I am a perfectionistand it trickles down to the people that run my work.Delivering quality, safety and schedule is our tagline for thecompany and it is what we live by.”
Koury acknowledged it is difficult to get through difficulteconomic times like these.
“There are many companies that are doing work at such aloss that they cannot survive. We have to try and balancereducing our prices to foolish levels with making sure thatmy long term employees are kept busy enough to earn theirpension years and maintain their health coverage,” saidKoury. “Over the years, I have given back a lot of our prof-its to keeping people busy.
“We have not sat back and waited, though. We have takenthis time to get our certification and spent time in the officeon procedures to increase efficiency and safety. We have alsodeveloped a new logo, are working on a new Web site andwe are developing new relationships and reestablishing rela-tionships with contractors. As many have said, in a downeconomy there is opportunity to prepare yourself even betterto take advantage when better economic times return. That iswhat we have done,” said Koury.
D. Koury Construction has a high rating on safety andKoury continues to ensure his team is certified to the higheststandards. He is an AISC Certified Erector. CEG
