Acquisition Footprint BEC Engineers and Consultants, LLC recently became part of Dunaway in 2023, with all active operations transitioning to Dunaway by July 2023. This indicates a consolidating myriod of capabilities under Dunaway, suggesting cross-sell opportunities to clients familiar with BEC's civil engineering services now served by a larger firm with broader geographic and service reach.
Integrated Service Line Dunaway’s expansion includes civil, structural, planning, landscape architecture, environmental, and surveying services. This breadth creates a potential for bundled project proposals to existing BEC clients and new prospects, offering end-to-end solutions and potentially higher award value through integrated delivery.
Leadership Growth Recent leadership appointments and principal-level hires at Dunaway (CAO promotions and new principals) signal a focus on organizational maturity and client relationship management, which can translate into more formalized client development efforts and higher win rates on multi-discipline projects.
Strategic Partnerships Active partnerships with Cook Children’s, JPS, Pfluger Architects, and Parkhill demonstrate Dunaway’s involvement in large-scale community and campus projects. This presents opportunities to target similar public sector, healthcare, and education clients with comprehensive civil, structural, and landscape solutions.
Market Positioning As a smaller firm in the Dunaway ecosystem with a revenue range of one to ten million, there is room to position Dunaway as a cost-effective, multi-disciplinary alternative to the largest players, appealing to mid-market projects where agility and integrated delivery are valued.
