The Dunn Difference

In Pursuit of Building Perfection®

By definition, perfection is unattainable but by its very nature worth pursuing. Since our founding in 1924, JE Dunn has pursued perfection in our buildings, our relationships and our conduct across the countless communities in which we live and work. It's something we aspire to on a daily basis through our use of technology, project-specific initiatives and attention to the world around us. How we strive to reach this lofty goal is what sets us apart, it's what makes JE Dunn Construction different.

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

 

A Model for ChangeBIM 2

One of the most important advances in building design and construction, Building Information Modeling (BIM) is changing the way project teams work together and projects are delivered exceeding client's expectations.

JE Dunn employs 17 Building Information Modeling (BIM) specialists across the country, with 80% holding degrees in either architecture or structural engineering.

Using the most current technology, we are able to generate multi-dimensional models to assist design, determine constructability and ease operation of a building project by linking model-based technology with a database of project information.  Building Information Modeling (BIM) is capable of producing a single model from which any drawing or detail can be extracted and through which data can be linked.

What are the benefits?

  • Budget control and constructability input during pre-construction phases

  • Clash detection and mechanical/electrical/plumbing coordination

  • Efficient communication of design intent

  • Determining the most cost effective methods of construction

  • Owner/Operator ease of maintenance allows database access to equipment information after commissioning

  • Enhanced project team member collaboration and unification

One of our principal beliefs at JE Dunn is to only market to our customers the services we can deliver, and only those services that will add value. For that reason, we have focused our Building Information Modeling (BIM) scope in the following areas:

  • Preconstruction

  • Self-Perform Documents

  • 4D Planning

  • MEP Coordination

  • Layout Integration

  • Building Envelope Analysis
