D&H
Steel Construction began when Barry Dixon and Bob Haddon formed Dixon & Haddon
Ltd in 1972. In 1975 Jim Denham, the present Works Manager and a current Director,
joined the business and Dixon & Haddon grew to become one of the largest and
most well known structural steel fabricators in the Auckland region. Dixon
and Haddon provided structural steel for a wide variety of projects including
high rise steel structures and major industrial plants such as the Glenbrook
Steel Mill. In the late 1980's Barry Dixon retired and Mike Sullivan, previously
a site engineer with civil construction company Wilkins & Davies, bought into
the business. In 2004, Bob Haddon retired and the company was renamed D&H Steel
Construction Ltd to reflect its ability to do composite structural steel and
concrete structures with associate company Clearwater Construction
Ltd. Over the past ten years D&H Steel Construction has grown to tackle larger and
more complex projects. It has strengthened all of its operations equally, so
that in addition to using CAD drafting and CNC production technology, it has
well structured project management and production processes. Shop detailing and
steel erection are closely coordinated with designers and constructors, with
a 'can-do' attitude and the willingness to be flexible according to project requirements. The ultimate test is completing challenging projects on time despite 'time
line' challenges and increases in complexity and scope. D&H Steel Construction regularly
achieves this while carrying on Bob Haddon's unqualified commitment to customer
service. Company History
