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 Change

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words.  And we couldn't agree more.  Carrying that thought further, we would add that pictures can also save thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours. That’s theBIM 2 beauty of Building Information Modeling (BIM).

Using the most current technology, we are able to generate 4-D models to assist design, determine constructability and ease operation of a building project by linking model-based technology with a database of project information.  The models can tell a story of what might happen in the field long before it does saving time and money. 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's the payoff?

  • Budget control and constructability input during pre-construction phases

  • Elimination of errors before they have a chance to occur, saving time and money

  • 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
