What is Self-Perform?

Self-perform refers to the practice where a general contractor uses their own labor forces to complete specific scopes within a construction project. JE Dunn emphasizes bringing together the right people and the right tools to achieve a shared vision of success. Self-perform fits seamlessly into that culture.

Building authentic partnerships with our clients relies in part on staffing projects with people who have the right knowledge and experience. Whether they be preconstruction professionals, project managers, field supervisors or skilled workers, JE Dunn employees are equipped to understand a client’s goals and get the job done right the first time, every time.

JE Dunn Self-Perform has teams across the U.S. that can work with clients locally or travel to remote sites. Our experts can complete scopes including, but not limited to:

  • Structural excavation
  • Demolition
  • Retaining walls
  • Cast-in-place concrete
  • Precast concrete
  • Tilt-up concrete
  • Masonry
  • Structural and miscellaneous steel
  • Metal studs and drywall
  • Acoustical and specialty ceilings
  • Rough carpentry
  • Finish carpentry
  • Joint sealants and air-barriers
  • Doors, frames, and hardware
  • Toilet accessories, compartments, and specialties
  • Hoisting, rigging, and setting of equipment
  • Cartage and storage
  • Commissioning

We self-perform work at varying stages throughout the construction journey. Whether you hire JE Dunn to lead your whole project or one defined scope, our people are ready to help.
