With offices in Birmingham, Jackson and Laurel, MS, Dunn and its subsidiaries are among the largest and most diversified construction firms in the Southeast. Its services include road-building, general construction, asphalt, ready-mix concrete and other related products.

On Sept. 1, 1996, Dunn purchased the assets of Bush Construction Co., and formed what is now Dunn Roadbuilders, L.L.C., which is headquartered in Laurel. Dunn Roadbuilders is a wholly owned subsidiary of Dunn Investment Co. Inc. and serves the east central and southeast Mississippi market. With asphalt plants in Laurel and Petal, Dunn owns and maintains a substantial inventory of mobile roadbuilding equipment. The asphalt plants support three paving crews, as well as the asphalt needs of other independent contractors and municipalities.
