D&B Construction Group
Thursday, October 26, 2023 – D&B Construction, a construction industry leader in Berks County, is thrilled to announce that our renovation and expansion project for Stratix Systems new headquarters in Wyomissing was awarded building with the Building Berks Award under the “Commercial Offices” category. This recognition comes from the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance (GRCA) and acknowledges our commitment to excellence in construction and our dedication to preserving the heritage of this historic building.
Stratix Systems, situated in the heart of Wyomissing, marked an ambitious endeavor that involved the complete renovation and expansion of a 79,382 square foot building, giving it new life and purpose. The project was the transformation of the former Wyomissing Knitting Mills Building #5, a structure with a rich history that spans decades. Both Stratix Systems and D&B Construction recognized the significance of preserving the building’s heritage and set out to maintain its integrity and historical value while infusing it with modern amenities and state-of-the-art infrastructure.
As part of the renovation, the project team meticulously removed the entire interior to create a blank canvas for a modern and functional layout. The exterior facade was carefully restored to its framing, achieving a seamless architectural blend between the existing structure and new additions. The renovations also included the addition of a new north lobby entrance, featuring a stunning five-story glass-enclosed staircase, two elevators, and a dedicated service elevator for maneuvering their expansive business systems products.
A key focus of the project was upgrading the building’s infrastructure to meet modern standards, including plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and sprinkler services. This included robust networking capabilities to support the technological requirements of the IT company. The interior design created several open-concept spaces that encourage creativity and productivity, integrating comfortable breakout areas, spacious meeting rooms, and flexible workspaces.
One of the major highlights of this renovation was the transformation of the former low roof area into a magnificent 9,000 square foot office space with soaring 26-foot high ceilings. This not only maximized usable space but also flooded the area with natural light and provided breathtaking views of the surroundings.
This recognition from the GRCA serves as a testament to D&B Construction’s unwavering commitment to delivering excellence in the field of construction. The transformation of the Stratix building has played an integral role in the broader revitalization efforts of the Greater Reading area, breathing new life into a formerly vacant building, and adding to the allure of the region as it reclaims its historical significance.
We are extremely proud of this recognition. We took an existing building and transformed it from a compartmentalized floor plan into open office areas and functional workspaces while preserving the original design of this historic building. It ties in perfect with the recent redevelopment and revitalization of the former Knitting Mills and Vanity Fair properties.

At D&B Construction we are committed to safety and excellence. Recently we hosted our annual safety meeting at the “Reserve at Iroquois” multi-family community construction project located in Sinking Spring, PA. The event, which took place on August 31st, 2023, gathered the company’s leadership team and employees to reinforce the importance of workplace safety.
The meeting began with a warm welcome from D&B Construction’s Director of Operations Jessica Nelis, who emphasized the significance of safety as a core value of the company. The meeting featured presentations from various members of our safety committee, including discussions on industry best practices, the importance of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), and incident reporting procedures.
“Safety is not just a priority for us; it’s a fundamental part of our company culture. Our goal is to ensure that every employee goes home safely each and every day.”
– Jessica Nelis
One of the highlights of the afternoon was the guided tours of the construction site. Employees were divided into groups, and each group was led by superintendents and project managers responsible for overseeing the “Reserve at Iroquois” project. These tours allowed employees to see firsthand the safety measures in place and the ongoing construction progress of this project.
In a creative effort to promote safety, D&B Construction unveiled new “Speed Monitored by GPS” vinyl decals on our fleet of trucks. These eye-catching decals prominently displayed the company’s commitment to safety and the “We Care.” tagline. The aim is not only to inspire employees but also to send a clear message to the community about our commitment to safety in all aspects of our work.
Another crucial aspect of the safety meeting was the certification of all company fire extinguishers. Ensuring that these life-saving devices are in optimal working condition is vital to the safety of both employees and the construction site itself.
The Reserve at Iroquois project, situated in the heart of Sinking Spring, is a testament to D&B Construction’s commitment to quality and safety. D&B Construction continues to build not only structures but also a safer and brighter future for our employees and the communities we serve.
