In today’s fast-paced design and construction environment, efficiency, collaboration, and accountability are no longer optional; they’re expected. At The JDI Group, we’ve built our multidiscipline model around those principles. With all core disciplines in-house: architecture, civil, structural, mechanical (facilities and process), electrical, IT, and project management, we create fully integrated project teams that deliver exceptional value from start to finish.
One Team, One Vision
Integrated project teams at The JDI Group aren’t just about convenience; they’re about cohesion. Our architects and engineers work side by side from day one, ensuring the original design intent carries through each phase of the project. Because our team operates under one roof, communication is streamlined, ideas flow freely, and collaboration is immediate. The result? Fewer delays, fewer surprises, and a more refined, aligned outcome.
Speed Meets Precision
When disciplines are outsourced, time is often lost coordinating schedules, resolving miscommunications, or waiting for external input. With our in-house model, changes and decisions happen in real time. Mechanical systems can be evaluated with structural constraints in mind. Civil designs can be adjusted with electrical requirements already understood. Every element is considered holistically, not in isolation.
Cost Control Through Continuity
Clients rely on us to stay within budget and on schedule. Our integrated teams provide that assurance. Early collaboration across disciplines enables more accurate estimating and timely value engineering. Potential issues are identified early, reducing costly revisions during construction. With a clear line of communication from planning to ribbon cutting, we mitigate risk and maximize value.
Accountability You Can Rely On
At The JDI Group, we take ownership of the entire process. There’s no finger-pointing between firms because we are the firm. Clients have one point of contact and one partner to trust, us. That level of accountability builds confidence and fosters long-term relationships based on trust and performance.
Innovation Through Integration
Unique challenges call for creative solutions, and our integrated teams thrive on solving them. Whether we’re designing piping for new equipment, retrofitting a building, or coordinating infrastructure upgrades, our cross-discipline collaboration leads to smarter, more efficient outcomes. Innovation doesn’t happen in a vacuum; it happens when experts work together.
Why It Matters
Clients aren’t just hiring a firm to design a building or a process expansion. They’re hiring a team to bring their vision to life, solve complex problems, and deliver results. With The JDI Group’s in-house, integrated approach, they get a cohesive team committed to their success, every step of the way.
Efficiency Backed by Evidence
- Improved Project Coordination
- Industry sources suggest up to a ~30% reduction in design coordination issues when disciplines collaborate under one roof
- A reduction in RFIs (Requests for Information) during construction
- Accelerated Schedules
- Reduced project delivery times of nearly 20% due to integrated teams and early collaboration is a recognized benefit associated with Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), a project delivery method emphasizing collaboration and shared goals among all project stakeholders from the outset
- Reduced Cost Overruns
- Projects are less likely to exceed budget when a unified team handles all design disciplines
- Early engagement with all disciplines leads to better constructability reviews and value engineering
- Improved Quality and Fewer Change Orders
- Multidiscipline coordination results in upwards of 30% fewer change orders based on industry statistics
- Higher design accuracy and reduced conflicts between architectural and MEP systems when done in-house
- Increased Client Satisfaction
- Numerous industry studies confirm higher client satisfaction when working with full-service firms, most likely due to smoother communication, fewer surprises, and a single point of accountability
