Organization
Jones & Jones' management team is a disciplined group of professionals who are technically competent as engineers and well-founded as practitioners of good management. We are dedicated to the management of the entire capital improvement process, from strategic facility planning to design, construction and occupancy of a facility. We believe in a team approach to manage the capital improvement process.
We have an obligation to verify and confirm the client's overall objectives and goals will be achieved by every detail of the facility's program. This is our opportunity to confirm the facility will maximize performance of the institution.
Members of the facility planning team, including outsourced professionals, should be selected for their knowledge and ability to execute efficiently as part of our team.
We ensure our team helps the owner by:
- Lowering the cost of planning, design and preparation for construction
- Lowering the client's costs of operation during construction
- Lowering the cost of construction
- Lowering the cost of financing
- Lowering the client's costs of post-construction operation
- Increasing the facility's performance
- Increasing the client's performance
- Aligning the client's performance with the client's mission
We treat the client's goals as the primary purpose of our concern. Therefore we are focused in obtaining answers to the client's fundamental questions:
Q: How can our (client's) facility maximize the fulfillment of our (client's) mission?
Q: How can our facility improve the productivity of our organization?
Q: How can we maintain productivity during the planning and construction process?
Q: Should we consider phasing; if so, which is the best model?

Q: Can we reduce costs associated with construction accidents?
Q: Can we avoid the high cost of construction claims?
Q: Can we look forward to a successful opening of our facility?

Jones & Jones is adept at providing answers to the above questions. Our approach is to provide answers largely from our own experience but if questions arise beyond our immediate ability to answer, we will investigate and elicit answers from team members or others who are qualified to offer an opinion.
