Contract Type


Design-Bid-Build

We have been working together with Jay Dee for nearly 10 years. Much of our work to industry is subcontracted tasks. Jay Dee approaches this very differently than the common prime/sub transactional relationships. They create an environment of partnership which becomes a team first culture. This culture begins before bid time and does not end at project completion. When called, we are ready to work with Jay Dee, anytime and anywhere.
