PREFABRICATION, MODULARIZATION & OFFSITE MANUFACTURING (OSM)
Maintaining the integrity of design and maximizing constructability is always at the forefront of our process when evaluating prefabrication opportunities. JE Dunn’s approach to prefabrication integration works to collaboratively optimize the design, maximize schedule, enhance safety, and effectively utilize resources. This approach works well within a high performing team structure with aligned goals and clear lines of communication.

IN-HOUSE ENGINEERING
JE Dunn has maintained in-house MEP staff since the early 1990s. Our experience, knowledge and understanding of MEP systems has allowed us to better support over $3.5 billion of completed projects annually.
Our MEP group are not the engineers of record, but they are a key second set of eyes on these very important scopes of work. They support the development of the initial mechanical/electrical budgets, and as design progresses, they are involved in developing bid scopes and evaluations of mechanical/electrical trade partner bids. As the project moves into construction, they remain part of the project and provide field inspections on installed systems to confirm compliance with bid documents.
detailed mep process
In addition to the purchasing initiative and in order to make these efforts streamlined for JE Dunn, we’ve created a detailed MEP equipment vendor buyout process. This process is used predominately to eliminate schedule delays and provide competitive pricing for clients on large equipment purchases. In some cases, especially in this saturated market, this equipment may have 22-26 week lead time. Our team will get a minimum of three vendor quotes for each material type, when available.
global buying power
JE Dunn has a national purchasing initiative that includes a team of professional buyers and logisticians from coast to coast. This fully automated ordering platform allows us to obtain goods and services at the best price - saving millions of dollars for our clients annually. We have the in-house talent to provide a turn-key mission solution, including purchasing all of the major long lead equipment.
EARLY MEP ENGAGEMENT
The first step that we recommend on most of our projects is to engage our in-house MEP experts. Our process begins with the following key items:
• Identify Prefabrication opportunities.
• Value Management. Best components to fit the program.
• Procurement. Work with trade partners to drive down cost.
• Schedule Enhancements. Identify opportunities.
• Provide input on the best equipment and system type for the budget and the specific needs of the project.
• Constructability. Ensure the most cost-effective routing of services, while accounting for maintenance and performance.
• Assist in the evaluation and selection of the mechanical and electrical trade partners for the project.
• Assist in Right-Sizing MEP equipment and systems to ensure your money is invested appropriately for maximum value
• Review change orders for accuracy.
• Review pay applications to ensure our trade partners do not over-bill.
• Provide site inspections to verify proper installation. Faulty installations can result in premature failure, maintenance issues, and performance issues, all of which will result in increased cost over the life of the project.
WHY JE DUNN?
DELIVERY METHODS
We have executed large, complex advanced industrial and manufacturing projects in multiple delivery methods:
• Engineer-Procure-Construct
• Integrated Project Delivery
• Design Build
• Construction Manager at Risk
JE Dunn is among the largest contractors in the nation and one of the foremost builders in the advanced manufacturing space. We work with expert precision in and around these sensitive environments and are experienced with a variety of delivery methods.
We are committed to understanding our clients’ needs, priorities and sensitive focal points. JE Dunn specializes in seamless project delivery, and our broad range of expertise is driven by the objective to provide certainty of results.
It is our goal to partner throughout the entire project life cycle, from site study and selection support to conceptual programming through construction, installation and post-construction.
HOW WE’RE DIFFERENT
speed to market
At JE Dunn, we know that speed, quality, and flexibility for future growth are critical to project success. Once construction begins, we are strong believers that BIM and prefabrication will help gain budget and schedule efficiencies.
certainty of results
We take a fully integrated approach, focusing on early identification of goals, risks constraints, and challenges. Leveraging enhanced collaboration, lean construction practices and industry-leading technology and innovation allows our team to create an efficient project plan, leading to on time completion and delivery within budget.
Advanced manufacturing facilities contain complex MEP systems. Given that these systems represent a significant portion of the cost of these projects, JE Dunn’s in-house MEP team thoroughly evaluates initial cost, performance criteria and life cycle costs to ensure long-term value.
beginning with the end in mind
Our team offers customized approaches to requirements associated with both greenfield projects and expansions to operating plants. In operating facilities, we work collaboratively to develop a production safety plan, ensuring complete segregation of construction from process areas.
Throughout construction, we test and document, taking corrective action as needed. Proactive management creates a smooth testing and commissioning process.
APTITUDE: A STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
The Aptitude Advantage
The customizable, full-scope building connectivity solution developed to let owners, operators and occupants get more value out of their buildings.
Born from over a century of design-build and construction tech know-how, Aptitude: Intelligent Integration uses a one-of-akind, goal-oriented development process and the most powerful technology available to deliver the “big-picture view” of buildings. That means a completely connected built-environment, one made of a virtuous cycle of efficiencies and smart decisions for our clients and everyone using their spaces.
Complete Coordination
Aptitude coordinates and manages every part of the design and installation process, providing a single source of truth for the entire project. That means less upfront costs and significantly less chance of add- and change-risk, ensuring a better performing builtenvironment from day one.

Integrated Improvements
With Intelligent Integration, building systems and services function to serve one another, and relationships, patterns and dependencies are revealed. That provides actionable information that can be used to increase operational efficiencies, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance the comfort and safety of a building’s occupants.
SAFETY AT JE DUNN
Safety is more than a process, procedure, and protocol for JE Dunn. It is part of the culture that we live, breathe, and keep at the forefront of our minds at all times. Our goal is to send everyone on our jobsites home to their families in the same shape they came to work. Our safety motto is EVERYONE. EVERYWHERE. ALL THE TIME.
JE Dunn has an excellent safety history. The National Council on Compensation Insurance rates general contractors yearly based on their claims cost from on-the-job inquiries. According to the N.C.C.I, the intrinsic industry average is 1.0 and the lower the modifier the better the safety record of the contractor.
Our safety plan will be in addition to and in excess of the applicable provisions of federal, state and municipal safety and health laws and building codes. Should any of these requirements conflict, the more stringent regulations will apply.
The safety culture of our company starts at the top and is supported and communicated throughout our company.
The Safety Director, the Project Manager, and the Project Superintendent are jointly responsible and accountable for your project safety
This accountability system continues through the senior management level
Safety results are measured for each division and Division Managers are responsible for the results
This team approach incorporates safety into the entire construction process.
We have developed a written safety program that meets or exceeds all federal, state, and local requirements.
Project safety meetings are held weekly and incorporate safety hand-outs and “toolbox safety training” pertinent to existing conditions.
We also provide continual, offsite safety training to include first aid, C.P.R., trenching safety, safe crane operation and so on.
All subcontractors are required to provide their own site specific, written safety program and are invited to attend all of our weekly safety meetings.
