Our Services

Focused on Solutions

D. R. Howard, Inc. provides commercial plumbing solutions for projects of all sizes, from tenant improvements and occupied renovations to large-scale new construction and complex infrastructure projects. Our experience spans hospitality, life science and laboratory facilities, higher education, commercial office space, retail developments, and specialty construction environments.


We believe successful projects require more than quality installation—they require leadership, coordination, and proactive problem solving. That's why our leadership team remains actively involved throughout construction. Sean and Doug regularly visit active projects to provide direction, support field operations, coordinate with project teams, and identify opportunities to maintain momentum and accelerate schedules.


Our approach is built around helping General Contractors succeed. We understand how construction projects are assembled, sequenced, and coordinated across multiple trades. By identifying potential challenges early, maintaining clear communication, and focusing on critical path activities, we help keep projects moving efficiently while minimizing delays and disruptions.


Our services extend well beyond installation. We provide pre-construction consulting, budgeting assistance, constructability reviews, value engineering, BIM coordination, and schedule planning. We help clients identify scope gaps, evaluate design intent, and develop practical solutions that balance cost, performance, and long-term reliability.


Every project benefits from the oversight of experienced Master Plumbers and construction professionals who understand both the technical requirements of plumbing systems and the realities of commercial construction. From concept through closeout, our goal is simple: deliver exceptional workmanship, provide meaningful project support, and make the construction process easier for everyone involved.
