BCD News
Occasionally during a firm's operations you are blessed with an employee who
significantly furthers the organization's capabilities. One such employee for Burns
Cooley Dennis (BCD) is Mr. Doug James. Mr. James has been with us since the early
days and is responsible for establishing the construction materials testing side of our
business, and has gained respect from many of you, our clients. Mr. Larry Singleton,
Architect, stated, "I have always found Mr. James to be exceptionally knowledgeable
and experienced in his field." "I have been involved with several projects over the last 10 years with Doug
James, including the Jackson Airport, Nissan site work, and Ergon projects. Doug is very knowledgeable in
what it takes to start and complete a successful project for both the owner and the contractor", said Mr. Tom
Elmore, President of Eutaw Construction. We take this opportunity to recognize Mr. Doug James and thank
him for his exceptional service to BCD over the years.
