Powered by Intelligent Integration. Built on Trust.

Aptitude was built to solve a problem the construction industry has long overlooked: building systems that don’t talk to each other. As a JE Dunn Construction company, we bring construction-grade rigor to every low-voltage and smart building solution, combining deep technical expertise with a relationship-first approach. We not only integrate systems, but also the people and processes behind them.

Georgia-Pacific Dixie Manufacturing Plant

JE Dunn is leading a design-build team that will design, engineer and construct a new, 893,600 SF greenfield plant for Georgia-Pacific’s Dixie brand. It is the first new, ground-up Dixie facility constructed since 1991. The new facility will increase production capacity, meeting increased consumer demand. This is a prototype facility for Georgia-Pacific and the front-end planning process on this project will be key to defining scope for future new facilities.

The new facility will include manufacturing, warehousing and rail dock areas, as well as maintenance shops for equipment. A separate, but connected, 16,000 SF office area is also included. As a greenfield project, the team will also design and engineer a wastewater pre-treatment system, IT infrastructure, and electrical infrastructure. The Aptitude team will coordinate low-voltage technology for the project.

Smart Building and Technology Insights.

The building technology landscape moves fast. Our Insights hub breaks down what matters, from BAS trends and cybersecurity to MSI best practices, so owners, architects, and facility leaders can make informed decisions before the first system is ever installed.

Don't Just Take Our Word For It.

Hear directly from the owners, developers, and facility teams who’ve partnered with Aptitude to bring their buildings’ systems into alignment.

CJ von Buchwald-Wright
Director of Technology
Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library Foundation
A project like this [Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library] has a lot of different teams involved, so we wanted to make sure we had one place to go to coordinate across all those teams, and Aptitude provided that for us very well.
Scott Jarrette
Senior Director of Design & Construction
Acadia Healthcare
The biggest value is having a capable entity overseeing the technology project to ensure there are no technology scope gaps. That’s what the biggest home run for us is. They ensure maximum efficiency and integration along with guarding against unnecessary redundancy. Another huge value is the specialty knowledge they provide and the process to integrate it.
Paul Johnson
Client Representative
NTH, Inc.
We valued [the Aptitude project manager] jumping in and really providing great communication and personal service to resolve issues. He stayed on top of the details and kept us informed. This helped the entire project come to life more smoothly.
Dave Pray
Owner & Primary Project Contact
Pray Works
Aptitude offers something unique as a technology business that understands this type of building design work—they really get the big picture. They understand subcontractors and know who the right people are, and they thought of things that I wouldn’t have. They really added genuine, tangible value. Sign me up for more.
Sheard T Goodwin III
Director of Enterprise Networking and Hosting
University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus
I wanted to reach out and commend your work on the City Heights and the Anschutz Health Sciences Building. Having low-voltage expertise on staff made it easier to communicate our needs and get issues resolved quickly. One of the things we were able to pinpoint was [Aptitude understanding] the need to communicate with IT early in the installation of fire, HVAC, and electrical systems.
Linda Dyson
Aviation Technology Programs Manager
Port of Portland
Aptitude has been a collaborator and an important partner and the bridge between the physical construction work and to the subcontractors providing the infrastructure. Their in-depth understanding of systems and infrastructure meant we did not need to educate the construction team about lead times, elapsed times, and dependencies for our work. Their role has been essential in contributing to the project delivery and our collective success.
