Preconstruction Services

At JMR, we are often engaged early in the process to collaborate with our clients’ design and engineering teams, providing critical insights before construction begins. Our expertise includes drawing and specification review, estimating and budget development, code and permitting requirements, material procurement planning, risk assessment, and value engineering solutions.

With deep knowledge of the Puget Sound construction market, extensive estimating experience, and sharp attention to detail, we help identify opportunities and challenges early – delivering added value and strategic guidance before the first shovel ever hits the ground.

General Construction Contracting

At JMR, we take a process-driven approach to construction, emphasizing rigorous documentation, clear and efficient communication, and proactive risk management to benefit both our team and our clients. As a commercial general contractor, we subcontract the majority of our work, leveraging our long-standing relationships with trusted subcontractors and suppliers to ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget.

With decades of experience across a wide range of market segments, our team excels in both tenant improvements and new construction. Beyond our deep industry expertise, we are highly adaptable—quickly learning, integrating new information, and continuously refining our approach to maximize value for our clients.

Service and Repair

At JMR, we are committed to adding value long after a project is completed. Many of our clients return to us for smaller repairs, service work, and post-project modifications once they realize adjustments are needed. Additionally, we frequently handle smaller tenant improvement projects that don’t require formal plans and specifications. With our extensive experience and capabilities, we provide efficient, high-quality solutions for these projects at competitive rates, ensuring our clients’ needs are met with the same care and attention to detail as larger projects.

Safety

At JMR, the safety of our team and our project partners is a top priority from day one. With a comprehensive Safety Plan developed over several decades, and with input from third-party safety consultants, we emphasize a collaborative approach to jobsite safety. While we are responsible for defining, detailing, and enforcing safety protocols, we recognize that safety is a shared responsibility. Every individual—whether JMR employees, subcontractors, suppliers, engineers, or consultants—must actively identify and address hazards when encountered.

Accident Prevention Planning begins with every project, alongside a detailed analysis of potential risks. By leveraging web-based construction management platforms, we enhance our ability to thoroughly document all safety-related activities, from weekly safety meetings to daily jobsite inspections. This streamlined process allows us to quickly identify, document, and communicate hazards to all team members. Our commitment to safety has been a key factor in JMR’s excellent safety record, reinforcing our message to project partners: safety is always our first priority.
