History

Dania Mining And Construction Company Ghana was founded and named after James Scout and incorporated in Accra Ghana on December 11, 2001. We are a privately held corporation headquartered in Accra, with

offices in Kumasi, Takoradi and and Takwa. We are rated in ENR (Engineering-News Record) as one of the 'Top 400 contractors,' with projects completed in educational, federal government, healthcare, industrial,

mission critical /data center and water/waste water treatment facilities for both public and private clients.

Throughout our long history, we have been praised by business owners for our attention to detail and our ability to provide knowledge driven and cost saving solutions for the most complex construction projects. Today, we are recognized as a regional leader for our strength in traditional construction methods and for our creative, fresh approach to cutting edge technologies and delivery systems. We apply our expertise to a broad spectrum of construction related services and delivery systems, including: preconstruction, construction management, general contracting, design-build and alliance partnerships. As a General Contractor, our services begin with pricing. We bid out the job in predetermined packages, and verify the validity of the bids using our extensive cost histories. During actual construction, we manage the day to day activity on the job, including safety, quality control and adherence to the schedule. We also provide bonding for the project and hold all subcontractor contracts, unless instructed to do otherwise by the owner.

We have the ability to self-perform many aspects of our work, giving us greater control over the schedule and allowing us to truly drive the project.

Dania Mining And Construction Company culture is one of collaboration and cooperation. This culture provides us with the ability to listen to our clients, subcontractors and vendors in an effort to discover the best

means possible to provide the team with an outstanding construction experience. This ability to listen enables us to maintain successful working relationships with clients, subcontractors and vendors while implementing

cutting-edge technology on our projects.

One such innovation is the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM). Our team has extensive project experience and clearly understands the value that BIM can add to the outcome of a project. Our team’s expertise

will benefit the project’s planning and construction management process - from the pre-bid phase through the commissioning phase. This is accomplished by executing a properly guided team approach and by harvesting

and transforming the data embedded in BIM models into valuable information. BIM can be utilized through the full life cycle of a project: Planning: Automated Quantity take-offs in which whatever limited information is

available is fed into the model, assumptions are then made to fill out the model and then quantities (and therefore pricing) can be spit out.

Design:
Visualization for the owner to picture their future project
Laser Scan Surveying (renovations, poor or no as-builts)
Design Estimating – efficient quantity take-offs that can then be applied to cost histories
Clash Detection of different system

Construction:
Field Layout – planning, site logistics, visualize building footprint relative to lay-down area
Field Visualization – think pre-fab, an image of a virtual rack and then the rack as built in the field
Trade Coordination – in field clash detection, conflict resolution
Scheduling – sequencing, trade coordination, visualization of the progress of the job
Shop Drawing – no potential for information lost in translation because models of designer and contractors “talk to each other.” (design to construction translation)
O + M Manuals – again no opportunity for information lost in translation because model of contractor and facility’s maintenance “talk to each other.” (construction to maintenance translation)

Facilities Management: Tying the BIM Model into a CAFM (computer aided facilities management system) for the ongoing operations and maintenance of the facility.
