J.B. Donaldson designs and constructs top notch buildings and properties. They don't just stop there--they continue to maintain and preserve the space as stellar landlords ensuring cleanliness and safety at every turn. I would HIGHLY recommend the LBD team. Plus, they are such a pleasure to work with :)
JB Donaldson has been a true leader with its effective and realistic approaches to delivering quality projects. They are experienced in many different sectors, including industrial, manufacturing, commercial and multi-family to name a few. We have been involved in many design-build opportunities with JB Donaldson, and what is impressive about their approach is the abilities of their professional staff to develop a concept and transform it into reality in a timely manner. Their projects are well-planned and organized, which allow for maximized productivity from the pre-construction phase through completion.

CIE USA contracted to build a 250,000 square foot manfacturing building for an automotive assembly program we were awarded in 2020. We had a relativly short deadline we presented them with for a custom building. They pulled thru and were able to meet the deadline dispite many setbacks because of covid and issues in developent of the property.

We had a deadline to be operational and making parts with about a one year time frame from the time we determinded our needs.4

They made it happen even working thru the Christmas and New Years holidays to get us occupancy to make production the first week of January.

Bennet, Clay, Scott, and Scott from JB Donaldson were very supportive and informative during the build. They continue to support us thru any issues we have had with the building to this day.

I would highly recommend there services for your construction needs.

Rock Companies has partnered with the JBD Team on 3 consecutive multi-family housing communities over the past few years. JBD's hard work and commitment to excellence has helped us create 3 wonderful communities: Chelsea Park West, Legends Morgan Farms, and Legends Grove.

From pre-development through post-completion - Bennett, Chris, Clay, Jen, and several valuable on-site team members have been closely involved throughout the projects' timelines. We trust and appreciate their open dialogue, problem-solving abilities, and the spirit of professional collaboration.

We are thrilled that hundreds of people have a beautiful new place to call home and look forward to continuing to partner with the JBD team. We highly recommend you consider J.B. Donaldson Company for your next development/construction project!
