The American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology’s (ABOG) headquarters office tower project included the relocation of employees, demolition of the existing building, and construction of the new tower. A below-grade garage accommodates 85 parking stalls and required a 30-foot excavation into sand with a complex soil retention system to ensure the integrity of adjacent buildings, streets, and underground parking structures.
This project is a prime example of JE Dunn’s ability to build in a dense urban environment. Located in uptown Dallas, the project site posed unique challenges with high-rise apartment buildings on three sides and an office tower on the fourth. The project team was in constant communication with neighboring tenants/management groups to coordinate potentially disruptive activities and ensure everyone impacted by the project knew what to expect at any given time.

Wanting to attract the “best and the brightest,” the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) recognized it needed a new home, leading to JE Dunn’s construction of the 175,000-square-foot, 5-story headquarters which hosts 700 employees. The building, including a 515-car parking garage, consolidated the existing headquarters and the Region 1 office for Denver that were located in separate buildings and were both outdated and inefficient. The existing work environment made it difficult to attract the best engineers to what is the largest engineering firm in Colorado.
JE Dunn worked closely with CDOT from selecting a site for the building to working with their employees to best understand their workplace needs. By creating a program of collaborative tools to determine the “must haves” for the new space, JE Dunn used its estimating cost history program and target value approach to provide CDOT options that brought best value while staying within the budget.

The Herschler Building houses Wyoming state agencies and offices for elected officials.
Adjacent to the Capitol, the 1980-era aesthetic of the modernist Herschler Building was dated, providing the opportunity to implement a new design and establish an integrated Capitol Square Complex. The exterior façade was removed to expand floor area and update the building envelope with an exterior aesthetic more sensitive to the character and quality of the adjacent buildings. The massive 360,800-square-foot Herschler Building was carefully demolished down to its concrete structure, re-built, and expanded to provide better departmental adjacencies and improve public access to the proceedings of government.

JE Dunn’s estimating platform, Lens, revolutionizes preconstruction by leveraging over 40 years of expertise and a vast data bank of credible cost information into a singular tool. Through early engagement in the design process and inputting minimal design information, our platform utilizes a comprehensive “construction calculator” to produce highly detailed and precise estimates. The platform instantly reflects any design alterations, ensuring continuous alignment of scope, schedule, and budget and thereby promoting seamless project execution and cost control.
JE Dunn utilizes a TVD approach for controlling costs and maximizing scopes, while creating synergy between the design and preconstruction processes. Working with the owner and architect, JE Dunn establishes cost targets for the scopes to guide the design process. The targets are established based upon JE Dunn’s knowledge and expertise with similar project construction costs and local market conditions. Scopes of work are separated into “buckets”allowing target estimates to be compared to a range of similar projects costs. As design decisions are made that may increase cost in one “bucket,” the team will look for opportunities to reduce cost in another “bucket.” This approach allows clients the flexibility to incorporate design enhancements or desires in aspects of the project without impacting the overall project budget.
Our VDC group are experts in leading multi-discipline teams utilizing industry leading technology including laser scanning, building information modeling (BIM), quality control, and virtual reality. Our focus is to ensure client expectations are exceeded by ensuring design intent and the performance of all systems is at the forefront. This includes coordination of all disciplines and a holistic approach to ensure spatial relationships, architectural aesthetics, and constructibility with consideration for current and future operations.
With in-house MEP staff, JE Dunn has a greater ability to cost-effectively evaluate design options, coordinate MEP bid documents, assist with value-based MEP trade selection, and ensure bids received are thoroughly complete. Once construction starts, we follow through with on-site field inspections, pre-commissioning, and equipment start-up support.
JE Dunn Capital Partners delivers equity investment and project finance solutions, leveraged with our construction expertise. We provide a comprehensive Design-Build-Finance (DBF) platform for the completion of each project through equity investment, debt financing, and concessions.
