TEAM-Build

 At J&S Construction Company, Inc., we want full accountability. Through the knowledgeable pursuit of design quality, and by effectively managing costs and schedule, we make certain the journey from concept to completion is effectively controlled for the client.

What is TEAM-Build?

TEAM-Build is a method of project delivery in which one company, the design-builder, forms a single contract with the client to provide for architectural and engineering design services, as well as construction services. As a result, the client has no third or fourth-party dealings. Our design-build concept is based on a TEAM approach (Together, Engineers, Architects, Managers).
