Why should I consider using self-perform for my project?

JE Dunn is committed to providing excellent and reliable outcomes for our partnerships. One way we optimize certainty of outcomes is by using our own workforce to complete work. Clients that engage our JE Dunn Self-Perform experts from the start have a greater chance to reap the following benefits of bringing an authentic partner to the table:

Improved safety

Safety is at the forefront of everything we do at JE Dunn. Every craft person we employ completes robust training and is committed to our safety culture of Everyone. Everywhere. All the Time. Through frequent check-ins, continuous training, and proven processes including developing project- and task-specific safety plans, JE Dunn helps ensure every team member goes home in the same condition they showed up in.

Enhanced quality

Much like with safety, quality work requires consistent and ongoing effort, and working with one organized team instead of multiple subcontractors can cultivate higher quality results. JE Dunn Self-Perform teams include QA/QC experts who observe and inspect every critical scope to ensure work is completed with zero defects and everyone on and off the jobsite has the same understanding of a client’s needs and what success looks like.

Financial transparency

JE Dunn Self-Perform teams provide clients better financial visibility. When clients negotiate self-perform scopes into their contracts, our Self-Perform teams provide open book estimating and partner to make the most efficient and cost-effective decisions pertaining to the scopes that are being self-performed.

Tighter scheduling

Using our own people allows JE Dunn to maintain control and oversight of the critical path, productivity rates, and schedules to make adjustments and keep progress on track. Our Self-Perform teams also implement visual schedules to better communicate project activities at-a-glance to all trade partners on a job.

Guaranteed labor

Because JE Dunn has dedicated Self-Perform teams across the country, our clients can depend on having the right talent at the right time for their project goals.
