General Construction.

We take pride in our collaborative approach with our clients, as our staff is always easy to reach and ready to answer your questions.

J. Raymond Construction is a full-service general contractor. That means our team is responsible for managing your entire project—scheduling inspections, getting building permits from local and state officials, hiring subcontractors, ordering supplies, and completing the labor. As general contractors, we will be your main point of contact throughout the project.

We have decades of experience managing crews and quickly solving complex problems. Our job is to save you time, effort, and money while streamlining the construction process. When you partner with us, we’ll guide your project from concept to completion.

Construction Management.

When you partner with J. Raymond Construction, our team will provide oversight, coordination, and recommendations throughout the project tailored to your specific needs.

We work hard to help our clients avoid construction delays and work disputes that can be both expensive and time-consuming. Managing the financial, building, and management details can get complex quickly. That means managing third parties, reviewing development specifications, handling cost estimation and bid analysis, managing contract awards and compliance, and overviewing the job site. It also means handling project accounting, safety inspections, and managing documents related to the project.

Our expertise in the construction, design, and management arenas allows us to best represent your interests throughout the project. That means ensuring that the project funds are properly managed and that the project’s schedule and scope are controlled.

Preconstruction.

At J. Raymond Construction, preconstruction services are entirely about eliminating potential roadblocks and setting out Client's project up for success. We believe firmly in the benefits of early Contractor involvement in every project.

We begin by working with the project owner and designers to develop a budget and project schedule. With a target budget and a solid schedule established that reflects the owner's obligations, the course is set for a successful project. Through regularly scheduled team meetings we evaluate design progress to ensure that progress aligns with the budget, we highlight major cost and schedule drivers and then present solutions to mitigate deviations.

While most of J. Raymond Construction's work is negotiated with repeat clients, we are equally comfortable hard bidding projects. Our estimators and administrators are uniquely qualified in document management, subcontractor solicitation and management, plus estimate preparation culminating in a proposal.

Value Engineering.

Our value engineering services significantly decrease our client's expected construction costs while maintaining project quality. Ultimately, our goal is to provide clients with the best quality and value without compromising safety or security.

We conduct extensive evaluations of all aspects of a project to reduce costs at the construction stage, as well as reducing future life-cycle costs. This includes collecting information on the scope of the project, analyzing project functions, determining which concepts are feasible, evaluating potential alternatives, and presenting owners recommendations.

Value engineering is a comprehensive process that examines each component of construction. In many cases, there are material, equipment, engineering, operations, and maintenance alternatives that are more cost efficient, and that deliver the same level of project quality. J. Raymond Construction conducts value engineering throughout a project, from the planning and design stages, through the construction stage.

Building Information Modeling.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) allows J. Raymond Construction to provide clients with three-dimensional representations of building structures.

BIM technology allows us to streamline the design process while improving the detection of potential structural problems. Digitizing the construction sites helps to improve building performance and collaboration between teams. It increases the level of predictability in a project, which makes teams more productive and cost efficient.

BIM models are designed to show more than just a three-dimensional visualization of the project. They also include logistics planning, construction analysis, and clash detection. One of the biggest things that separate three dimensional BIM models from their two-dimensional counterparts is the ability to offer a simulated walkthrough that can realistically portray the look and feel of the building interior before construction even begins. Our clients use our BIM services to reduce project errors and increase cost savings, improve collaboration between construction teams, and quicken the speed of the project.

Technology and Information.

Our team can ensure that your systems and proprietary data will be protected even as your business expands and more devices connect to your network.

At J. Raymond Construction, we offer a wide range of IT solutions for everything from project management to protecting and securing your networks that contain proprietary information. We handle web portals, cloud applications, and network security so that your team can improve its efficiency without having to devote additional time and resources to managing IT applications. Cloud computing allows construction workers access to the data they require to make decisions while on-site. It also allows workers to make reports from the field that is easily accessible by all team members in real time.

Having strong network security is critical to the success of your projects and the sustainability of your infrastructure. We simplify the IT process for our client's so that you can spend more time focusing on your business.

Interior Build-Outs.

At J. Raymond Construction, our clients benefit from our unique experience with modifying interior spaces. Interior construction comes with a host of challenges that our staff has the expertise to meet head-on.

An interior build-out may require teams working in spaces that are currently occupied. Interior build outs involve a number of components, including things like steel frames, drywall, doors, windows, metal, wood, asphalt, concrete, and foundations. Those are the basics—more complex systems like heating and air conditioning, electrical systems, plumbing, and sewage systems must also be considered in the build out process.

Clients rely on an organization like J. Raymond Construction, with years of technical knowledge and experience with safety precautions that will ensure the long-term durability compliance and durability, of their project.

Pre-Cast and Tilt-Wall Buildings.

Our team specializes in both pre-cast and tilt-wall construction for our client's projects.

Tilt-wall construction can improve delivery times for construction projects, lower costs and is a relatively popular construction method for low to mid-rise structures. Large concrete slabs are formed horizontally on-site and then tilted upward into their lasting vertical position.

Pre-cast construction slabs of concrete are formed in an indoor facility then transported to the construction site. Pre-cast construction can be done in any environment and there is a high standard of quality for concrete slabs formed at manufacturing facilities, plus handling the manufacturing of concrete off site reduces the chances of on-site construction accidents.
