Who We Are

About Dana Gunnell

There are builders and there are contractors. We are a builder. Dana Gunnell brings a developer’s perspective to construction. We’ve been on both sides of the table, so we understand what drives returns and where risk lives. This insight guides our systematized, process-oriented approach to every project.
Through robust preconstruction planning, transparent communication, and disciplined execution, we take the guesswork out of construction. When it makes sense, we invest part or all of our fee, or additional cash, as equity in deals for maximum alignment. Our commitment to relationships with clients, trade partners, and our team ensures your vision is realized efficiently, reliably, and aligned with your pro forma.

Who We Work With

Partners Who Value Competitive Execution and Alignment

Dana Gunnell partners with real estate developers, investors, and owner-operators who demand predictable results on complex projects. From multifamily and mixed-use developments to industrial and commercial builds, we work with groups who value transparent communication, disciplined execution, and true partnership.

Our ideal clients understand that construction is more than bricks and mortar. It’s about a partnership to jointly protect budgets, managing risk, and delivering results. Whether you’re backed by institutional capital or local investors, building wood-frame or concrete podium, we bring the building precision your project demands.

Your Project Deserves More Than Promises.

Experience a construction partnership built on accountability, disciplined execution, and proven results. We don't just meet timelines and budgets; we deliver with the ownership mindset of a true partner.

Our Services

Full-Service Construction

From multifamily and build-to-rent to mixed-use, commercial, and industrial projects, we deliver complete construction management tailored to your vision. We handle every phase: planning, permitting, execution, and handover with precision, safety, and unwavering consistency, no matter the project's complexity.

Preconstruction Planning

Great projects are built before the first shovel hits the ground. We provide no-cost early budgeting, constructability reviews, value engineering, and realistic scheduling in close partnership with you and your design team. This early collaboration eliminates surprises, identifies cost-saving opportunities, and sets the stage for predictable success.

Project Management

Our superintendents and project managers run tight, transparent jobsites. Weekly coordination meetings, real-time cost tracking, rigorous quality control, and proactive problem-solving keep every project on schedule, on budget, and to the highest standard. Consistent oversight and collaboration ensure your goals are met at every step.

Post-Construction & Warranty Support

We don't walk away at turnover. Expect thorough final inspections, organized closeout packages, hands-on property management training, and fast, no-hassle warranty response. Your long-term satisfaction is part of our reputation and our commitment to lasting partnerships.

Value Engineering & Cost Optimization

We proactively identify savings without sacrificing quality or design intent, leveraging our deep market knowledge and long-standing trade relationships to stretch every dollar further. Our constructability feedback and alternative material recommendations keep you competitive from day one.

Development Partnership & Co-Investment

When it makes sense, we put our own money in alongside yours. By investing part or all of our fee, or additional capital, as equity on select projects, we align interests completely and bring an owner's intensity to cost control, schedule, and quality. True skin-in-the-game partnership for maximum results.
