At JE Dunn, we separate ourselves from traditional EPCs in several ways that have helped our company earn the reputation of being a trusted partner that transforms a client’s vision into reality. JE Dunn brings an open-book philosophy and an unrelenting commitment to being a collaborative partner, unmatched communication, and a smooth working style to ensure an efficient, hassle-free project.
With more than a century of experience, JE Dunn leverages a combination of core expertise to ensure every project is executed with precision, efficiency, and lasting value. These key focus areas form the foundation of our success, from project kickoff to final delivery.
Flexible, Client-Centric Engineering Approach
Traditional EPCs typically tap in-house engineering services for new client work. At first glance, this may seem convenient. However, we believe this approach limits projects to a singular team that may not understand a client’s vision. JE Dunn can match our proven engineering expertise to the unique needs of any project, combining these resources with our in-house architectural team.
By outsourcing engineering services, JE Dunn ensures engineering teams that work on projects truly understand a client’s processes and priorities. Thanks to our extensive industry experience, we can assemble experts for each heavy industrial sub-market. This approach guarantees that the most qualified teams are brought to the table and allows our clients to select a partner of their choice, which is critical in establishing a solid foundation for every new project.
Mitigating Risk with Proactive Procurement and Trusted Partnerships
JE Dunn’s strong relationships with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and deep understanding of industrial facilities enable us to manage equipment procurement from start to finish. JE Dunn’s extensive connections enable us to start this process long before designs are complete, offering clients and engineering partners added assurance that the proper loads required for the project are covered. JE Dunn can provide this service for its clients due to early engagement with trusted partners.
As the construction landscape continues to shift and evolve, JE Dunn continually vets and diligently selects well-qualified trade partners to ensure reliable labor for all clients, regardless of where projects are located. Our 26-office footprint, combined with deep relationships with large, national trade partners ensures we can scale appropriately. This commitment helps reduce risk, improve schedule certainty, and deliver greater peace of mind for our clients.
Self-Perform and Trade Partners Drive Project Success
Extensive self-perform capabilities and a network of strong trade partners are two of JE Dunn’s greatest strengths and are vital to the success of any heavy industrial project. When combined, these two elements can positively impact projects in a variety of ways:
- Certainty of Outcome: Self-perform services and strategic trade partners bring certainty to any project, including procurement of resources and project materials needed, so projects can stay on schedule.
- Cost Control: By tapping these resources during the planning phase, JE Dunn provides cost certainty and upfront transparency.
- Greater Control Over Quality & Safety: While self-performing work allows JE Dunn to maintain ultimate control over quality and safety, collaborating with trade partners who adhere to our rigorous programs also ensures high standards. This dual approach enhances project outcomes and reinforces our commitment to excellence.
Diverse Experience Fuels Innovation
JE Dunn has completed projects across the country for a wide spectrum of industries. When tasked with a new project, we don’t prohibit ourselves from exploring outside sectors where different expertise can add value to a heavy industrial project. We believe that our collective knowledge as a company empowers us not only to deliver successful projects for our clients but also to innovate and develop smarter solutions to complex work. This mindset helps us bring fresh perspectives, find tailored solutions for each client’s unique needs, and ultimately deliver better outcomes—no matter the industry.
