Construction management · Project management · Owner's representation
Dùn Construction Services acts for public agencies, institutions and civil contractors across British Columbia and Alberta, protecting our clients' interests from early planning through final handover.
Our services
Dùn supports owners across the full project lifecycle, from feasibility and procurement through construction, commissioning and closeout. Each engagement is led by a senior professional and tailored to the client's governance requirements, risk profile and delivery model.
Acting on the owner's behalf through construction, we administer contracts and coordinate all parties to deliver the project safely, on schedule and within budget. Services are available under CCDC 5A.
We provide end-to-end leadership of capital projects and programs, aligning design, procurement and construction with the owner's strategic objectives.
Serving as an extension of the client's team, we provide experienced and independent advice at every key decision point.
Decisions made early in a project have the greatest influence on its outcome. We help owners establish a realistic scope, budget and delivery strategy before construction begins.
Robust cost, schedule and risk controls give owners reliable information and early warning of emerging issues.
We secure the access, approvals and community support that allow construction to proceed without delay.
Our value
Successful projects are shaped by the decisions made before problems arise. Our team brings foresight, discipline and practical construction experience to each stage of delivery.
We look ahead rather than react. Through structured look-ahead planning, early risk identification and regular coordination with contractors and consultants, we resolve issues before they affect cost, schedule or quality.
Safety is planned into every phase of the work. We review contractor safety programs, coordinate site-specific safety plans, conduct regular site inspections and uphold the highest standards of workplace health and safety.
The right procurement strategy protects both budget and schedule. We advise on delivery models, prepare clear and competitive tender packages, and lead fair, transparent evaluation and award processes.
From early cost planning to final account, we maintain rigorous control of project budgets, scrutinize change orders and progress claims, and provide reliable forecasts that support informed decision-making.
We develop realistic schedules, monitor critical activities closely and work with all parties to recover lost time, keeping projects on track toward their key milestones.
We confirm that the work meets contract requirements, applicable codes and regulatory obligations, supported by documented inspections, nonconformance management and thorough closeout.
Our approach
Every engagement moves through four phases, each with defined deliverables and a clear outcome for the owner. Select a phase to see what we provide.

Independent by design. Because Dùn does not self-perform construction, our advice remains objective and fully aligned with our clients' interests.
Safety and quality
Health and safety are central to every project we manage. Our health, safety and environment program is aligned with the Workers Compensation Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation of British Columbia, and our quality management system is founded on ISO 9001 principles.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions owners most often ask before engaging a construction manager.
A construction manager represents the owner through design, procurement and construction. Typical responsibilities include planning, procurement, contract administration, management of requests for information and change orders, review of progress claims, site coordination, cost and schedule control, and project closeout. Dùn can be engaged as construction manager for services under CCDC 5A or as the owner's representative.
We recommend engaging us as early as possible. The greatest value is typically realized during preconstruction, when we can help establish realistic budgets, select an appropriate delivery model and prepare tender documents that reduce the risk of change. We also support projects already underway that would benefit from additional oversight.
We begin by understanding the owner's priorities for cost, schedule, risk and quality, then recommend a delivery model and procurement approach to suit. We prepare clear tender documents, manage the bidding process and lead a fair, well-documented evaluation so that contracts are awarded to capable partners on balanced terms.
Risk is identified at the outset, recorded in a project risk register and reviewed regularly with the project team. Our proactive approach to planning, coordination and site oversight allows emerging issues to be addressed early, before they affect cost, schedule or safety.
No. Dùn provides construction management and advisory services only. Because we do not bid on or perform construction, our advice remains independent and aligned with our clients' interests.
Yes, where this is agreed in writing and appropriately resourced. Under section 118 of the Workers Compensation Act, the prime contractor coordinates health and safety at a multiple-employer workplace. We will discuss the most suitable arrangement for your site at the outset of the engagement.
We are headquartered in Langley and serve clients throughout the Lower Mainland, the Fraser Valley and the rest of British Columbia, as well as in Alberta.
