Our History: Dunbar Construction specializes in commercial, equestrian, metal building and custom residential construction and has grown steadily since its inception in January 2001. Founder Chad M. Dunbar, born and raised in Central Florida, completed his collegiate career by earning a Master's Degree in Business Administration from Stetson University. Chad's professional career began in the early 1990's as Director of Operations and Construction for a major petroleum company and later as Project Manager for a respected mid-size general contracting firm. After several years of hands-on-experience in all phases of construction, Chad established Dunbar Construction.

We have been fortunate enough to have completed numerous projects for a client base ranging from international corporations to small businesses and governmental agencies to individuals. Last year Dunbar Construction had its best year yet, achieving annual revenues of nearly $4,000,000. Our company has chosen to operate on the principle of low overhead, not high volume. This allows Dunbar Construction to give your project the personal service you should expect from a professional general contractor.

Our Philosophy: The basic foundation of any good business must be built upon trust and understanding. Dunbar Construction builds relationships and buildings that last because of the mutual trust and respect that is nurtured between client and contractor. Communication is a vital component of the construction process. That's why Dunbar Construction keeps you informed and involved every step of the way. It is our goal to complete your project as a result of close collaboration between you, the client, who knows what is desired and Dunbar Construction, the contractor, who knows how to get it done correctly, on time and within budget.

Our solid reputation reflects a strong set of core values which drive our daily efforts. Fair and ethical business practices, commitment to client satisfaction, attention to detail, and teamwork are a way of life at Dunbar Construction. Our increasing portfolio of repeat and referral clients is the ultimate compliment, and indicator of our performance.

Our Mission: Dunbar Construction will strive to provide our clients with the highest quality construction services available in the Central Florida Market and to become their Builder of Choice. Our success will be measured by the degree to which we exceed our clients' expectations and the achievement of their goals and objectives. We pledge to continue to improve our skills and develop new capabilities to meet our clients' challenges and changing needs.

Safety: Safety is our #1 priority. Dunbar Construction is committed to the safety, health and well being of its' Employees, Subcontractors, Suppliers, Clients, Visitors and the General Public and we consider no phase of operations or administration of greater importance than safety. Anyone entering a Dunbar Construction jobsite is required to comply with Dunbar Construction's Safety Program, the project owner's safety and security requirements, and all federal, state, and local safety standards and requirements, including OSHA. Safety is stressed with every member of our construction team through published safety guidelines and periodic jobsite construction safety meetings. Our Project Site Safety & Health Policy and First Aid Guide are posted in the Media Center section of this website under Forms & Documents.

Technology: At Dunbar Construction, technology plays a key role in the management of our projects and our business. We are rapidly adapting to new ways of thinking that will enable us to better serve our customers. After Chad witnessed a former employer, who had been in business for several years, struggle with the transition from basic accounting software to a high powered accounting and construction management software, he made the decision to make an investment in Sage's Master Builder software soon after starting Dunbar Construction. Our early implementation of Master Builder, an industry specific accounting and construction management software package has proven vital to our success. It has allowed us to effectively and efficiently manage three critical areas of our business - production, accounting and analysis, by using one comprehensive, easy-to-use business tool.

Our Integrated Construction Sites - Until recently, the information available at our jobsites was predominantly paper-based. One of the main issues with a paper based field environment is that you are rarely dealing with real time information. We have made a concerted effort to implement networking and wireless technologies at each of our jobsites. At its most basic level, this technology allows us direct and real-time access to e-mail, the internet, and the home office server; bridging the gap from office-based design and management systems to the field environment. We are also able to accurately and promptly communicate jobsite information to the home office and to our clients & subcontractors. Accessing current weather conditions and conducting periodic safety meetings via video on our field computers are two more ways that these technologies benefit our field operations on a daily basis.
