In the Southeast United States, a union-oriented mechanical contractor must stand out amongst the non-union majority. Many owners believe they may save money with non-union contractors solely based upon hourly rates. So how does Dixie’s customer list continue to expand? …and our customer list annually exceeds our expectations.

As a mechanical contractor, Dixie’s experience in piping – high pressure, process, chilled water and refrigerant – boiler & pressure vessel repair and equipment setting of heavy machinery is recognized as being of superior workmanship. To this day, Dixie maintains customer relationships that have spanned over two decades, constantly integrating new customers with “old friends”! So how has Dixie Mechanical Inc. been so successful in this competitive market?

• Major industrial projects live and die by the “schedule”. Dixie Mechanical has provided owners in Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia with reliable, skilled labor. This results in fewer surprises, more accurate scheduling, predictability and the ability to hit milestones.

In addition, our company maintains a deep relationship with the unions, treating the union as a business partner – not simply a labor source.

• Dixie has provided their customers with proven capabilities, even on the most complex systems. Utility plants, process piping, high pressure/high spec systems – as well as intensive commissioning work – require precision installation, code critical work and complex coordination amongst the trades.
• Higher productivity in complex projects is essential for a successful union oriented mechanical contractor. With union training, our company provides superior installation quality – the first time. With higher efficiency in technical demanding project scopes, rework becomes a non-issue. Owners know that on critical-path work, rework is far more expensive than labor rates!
• Larger industrial projects cannot afford trade conflicts or delays due to scope disputes. Multiple trades need to work in sync. As a union-oriented contractor, Dixie establishes jurisdictional boundaries providing smoother coordination on complex issues.
• On a final note, often overlooked in contactor selection, safety isn’t just cultural … it is financial. Dixie provides the owner or EPC with structured safety training, a strong compliance culture and a lower incident rate. For the owner or EPC, this equates to fewer shutdowns, lower insurance/modification rates and reduced legal and reputational risks.

Dixie’s customers recognize predictability, scalability, safety and execution reliability. As we approach our 25^th anniversary, we will continue to provide mechanical excellence to our customers, and we look forward to creating new mutually profitable relationships in future years.
