Of course you want to do business with a company that has integrity and is accountable.  JHS believes these are “Price of Entry” values. If you don’t have them, you will not be in business for long.  So we do not fall back on listing the expected when we describe the values we bring to the table.

We never stop our staff education process.  The nature of winning is going to where the ball will be next, not to chasing after where it is now.  By mandating intense continuing education requirements for all staff, we provide our clients with insight that will give them a competitive advantage.

Experience is not always the best resource for new ideas.  We encourage all our employees to share their thoughts.  This respect for individual thinking fosters a sense of committed team work and assures that conventional thinking never limits our clients' choices and opportunities.

We believe that relationships must be dynamic.  This means the honest and open sharing of ideas and opinions.  We do not always agree with the initial thinking of our clients– and that’s good.  Because if we agreed on everything one of us would be redundant.  Our role in a business relationship is to provide insight, shed light on confusion, provide real options and make a recommendation.  However, we never forget that you are the client and once all the options are laid out we will flawlessly execute your choice of action.

Just like anyone, we at JHS enjoy having fun.  We enjoy good food, good wine, good jokes and good golf and we share this passion for fun with our clients.  But we also believe that business can be fun.  Beating out a competitor for a bid, getting your bonding before anyone else, eliminating hurdles to obtaining critical financing and planning so you maximize what you keep in your pocket after taxes, is fun. And while we enjoy the food, wine and golf, it is this latter definition of fun that we are most committed to.

What we do and how we help our clients is very important work, but we believe we should never let the gravity of what we do lead to taking ourselves too seriously.

This is really a by-product of the interaction of the 3P’s (People, Products and Process).  Our unsurpassed knowledge in the construction industry has enabled us to develop a unique process for addressing clients’ needs.  Our Business ManagementControl Platform is the foundation for the development of a family of products and services designed to manage uncertainty and put you back in control.  And since we do not believe that good ideas are bound by DNA lineage, we encourage all employees, at all levels in the organization, to speak up when they have an idea.  This people interaction process coupled with our industry expertise ensures an unassailable level of excellence and a consistent flow of innovative thinking which benefits every client.
