Jones Commercial Interiors

In 1996, after 10 years with a leading Dallas design firm, Andy Jones launched Andy Jones Commercial Interiors, Inc. ? JCI for short ? in a small, subleased office suite in Richardson, Texas. From a handful of real estate clients, Jones learned that to succeed in the office design business, you have to be fast, creative, and economy-minded. With those three priorities always at the forefront, Jones observed that every well-done project turned into two more. 24 years later, with three partners, a staff of 30 team members and 28 million square feet of commercial space under contract, JCI handles up to 80 projects a week for over 150 active clients. At JCI, new designers are taught the basics: They must learn to be fast, creative, and economy-minded. The firm?s success continues to depend upon its people?s commitment to these three qualities. As designers of creative environments for people at work, JCI?s designers enjoy an ever-changing variety of large and small projects where they continually hone their skills and make good things happen. ?Clients spend most of their waking hours at work?, says Jones, ?and we have the daily privilege of creating fun, beautiful office environments that people look forward to spending time in. We make people?s lives better. And that is really cool.? The future is looking good for JCI. The firm continues to grow and prosper. Only the brightest and best commercial designers are invited to be permanent team members. The Partners have set a goal to be recognized among real estate professionals as the best design firm in North Texas. Every year brings new clients, new opportunities, and a few steps closer to The Goal. Mission:?Our approach to business is defined by 2 general principles. 1) Project ownership and 2) Upward delegation. Project Ownership: JCI utilizes a team concept. Each team consists of a Project Manager and 2 or moreOur approach to business is defined by 2 general principles. 1) Project ownership and 2) Upward delegation. Project Ownership: JCI utilizes a team concept. Each team consists of a Project Manager and 2 or more Designers. The team is dedicated to a specific project from inception to completion. This gives the team ownership and empowers them to make decisions based on the needs of the client. Upward Delegation: The upward delegation concept is JCI?s very own unique credo. In the event a project manager is not available to meet with a client due to schedule, illness, vacation, etc., a senior executive will attend the meeting in her absence. This policy sets JCI apart from any other design firm.
