Dunham Associates

Like most good stories, it all started when two people met-in this case, when George Dunham met his future wife Nancy while studying at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology. Fittingly, one was a mechanical engineering student; the other, electrical. They married (both personally and professionally), founded Dunham in 1960 and remained with the company until Nancy's retirement in 1997, followed by George's in 1999.

Some people see engineering as a commodity-level service. Not Dunham. Since our founding over 60 years ago, we've always pushed ourselves to new levels of excellence. We call it The Dunham Difference. Dunham's hands-on mechanical and electrical engineers bring new meaning to the term "collaboration."

At Dunham, we see "innovation" a little differently than most people. To us, a truly innovative approach means constantly nurturing three distinct areas of excellence and partnership: Technology, Sustainability and The Human Touch. We're an award-winning early adopter of Revit MEP Building Information Modeling (BIM) software.

With power-hungry new technologies emerging every day, buildings need smarter, more flexible electrical systems than ever before. From normal power distribution to emergency and uninterruptible power systems, Dunham's seasoned electrical engineers partner with you to develop the right infrastructure for your electrical needs both today and tomorrow.

Effective Information and Communications Technology (ICT) depends on building an infrastructure for both today and tomorrow. Dunham goes the extra mile to understand your current and future needs, then selects and specs the right ICT components for your industry and requirements. The ability to build a robust data network infrastructure that smooths the way for future technologies.
