GET TO KNOW A LITTLE ABOUT US

If you drive on it, park on it or land on it, Dunn Construction builds it. With our own equipment, our own asphalt, and—most importantly—our own people. That’s what makes Dunn the market leader in Alabama: People who love what they do. And what we do, every day, is deliver on our promises. No matter what.

We built our company on a commitment to quality. Which means more than just doing the job right. It means managing the job right. Making your job that much easier—whether you’re a client, architect or engineer, subcontractor or inspector. It’s a commitment to the kind of professionalism that adds real value to everything we do.
