🚧 The Power of Design-Build: A Collaborative Approach to Project Delivery 🏗️ At JP Architects, Ltd., we know that every project is unique—so the way it’s delivered should be, too. Design-Build offers an alternative to the traditional design-bid-build method, bringing the architect, contractor, and owner under a single contract to streamline collaboration. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒆𝒂𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒄𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒔? ✅ Faster Timelines – Design and construction happen in tandem, keeping projects moving efficiently. ✅ Cost Certainty – Early collaboration helps manage budgets and reduce unexpected changes. ✅ Seamless Communication – A unified team fosters transparency, innovation, and problem-solving. ✅ Enhanced Accountability – One contract, one team, one shared goal—delivering quality results. Many agencies and institutions already utilize Design-Build: 🏢 The Public Building Commission of Chicago has long used this model. 🏫 Chicago Public Schools is establishing a Design-Build Pool. 🏗️ Illinois Capital Development Board & Chicago Transit Authority have successfully completed projects with this method. 📐 JP Architects, Ltd. has applied Design-Build in several commercial projects. And now, a new law in Illinois that took effect in 2024 allows K-12 school districts and municipalities to utilize Design-Build—opening the door for more projects to benefit from this streamlined approach. While Design-Build isn’t the right fit for every project, it’s an established and effective method with clear advantages. Our goal here is to inform, not persuade—so let’s have a conversation. What are your thoughts on this approach? 🔹 JP Architects, Ltd. delivers high-quality, functional spaces using both Design-Build and Design-Bid-Build—tailoring every project to best serve our clients and communities. Let's start a productive discussion on Design-Build! 👷♂️📐🏗️ #DesignBuild #Architecture #Construction #Collaboration #ProjectDelivery #JPArchitects #K12Design #MunicipalProjects

📢 JP Architects: Supporting Scholarships & Investing in the Future of AEC 🏗️🎓 At JP Architects, we know that meaningful change in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry starts with supporting the next generation of professionals. That’s why our team was honored to attend the Hispanic American Construction Industry Association (HACIA) Scholarship and Education Foundation’s awards ceremony, where 10 exceptional students pursuing careers in AEC received well-deserved scholarships. Our connection to the HACIA Scholarship Foundation runs deep. In 2003, our President, Jose Pareja, was awarded this very scholarship—an opportunity that helped propel his career forward. Since then, JP Architects has remained committed to paying it forward. We’ve hired four past recipients, welcomed countless interns, and continue to support the next wave of talent through mentorship and opportunity. Jose is also proud to serve on the HACIA Scholarship and Education Foundation Scholarship Committee, helping to select and uplift the brightest young minds in our field. This year, we were especially proud to celebrate alongside three of our distinguished former scholarship recipients—Ricardo, Elisa, and Scarlette—and to cheer on former summer intern Miranda Santamaria, who earned her second HACIA scholarship! Once again, this year’s awardees showcased incredible talent, dedication, and promise, reinforcing why investing in the future of AEC is so important. We believe in fostering growth, creating opportunities, and building a more inclusive and diverse future for the AEC industry. Congratulations to this year’s recipients—we can’t wait to see the impact you’ll make! #ScholarshipSupport #AECIndustry #Mentorship #FutureOfConstruction #HACIAScholarship #PayingItForward #JPArchitects

🚧👷♀️ Breaking Barriers & Building Futures – Celebrating the Women of JP Architects Today and Every Day 👷♀️🚧 At JP Architects, we recognize that architecture and construction thrive when diverse voices and perspectives come together. Women in our industry bring innovation, creativity, and leadership, and we are proud to celebrate our team members who are shaping the built environment, forging their own paths, and inspiring future generations. Our support for women in architecture and construction doesn’t stop this week—it’s an everyday commitment. From fostering an inclusive workplace culture to actively championing career growth, leadership opportunities, and mentorship, we strive to create an environment where women’s voices are heard, valued, and elevated. We believe that breaking barriers means not only recognizing talent but also providing the space, resources, and encouragement for women to lead and succeed. Yet, there is still work to be done. While progress has been made, women remain underrepresented in architecture and construction. We need more firms, leaders, and industry professionals to consistently embrace this belief—not just during Women in Construction Week. It’s time to move beyond recognition and into action, ensuring that the next generation of women entering the field have the support, opportunities, and representation they deserve. Today, we’re sharing the voices of the incredible women on our team—stories of ambition, resilience, and unwavering passion for their craft. Their contributions are shaping the future of architecture and construction, breaking barriers, and inspiring change. Check out their perspectives in the images and join us in celebrating their impact! 💪🏽✨ #WomenInConstructionWeek #WomenInArchitecture #BreakingBarriers #DiversityInDesign #EmpoweringWomen #WomeninConstruction #JPArchitects

🎉 Join us in congratulating JP Architects’ very own, Ricardo Chaidez, on becoming a licensed architect! 🎉 Ricardo Chaidez joined JP Architects, Ltd. in 2020 during the pandemic. Initially meeting the team virtually, it wasn’t until we returned to the office that we fully experienced his dedication, expertise, and impact. He began his journey with us working on residential projects and has since grown into an invaluable team member—managing public work, mentoring new employees, and helping shape the future of our firm. 😂 Funny story... Ricardo kept his pursuit of licensure under wraps, and it wasn’t until a random Friday night JP Team text alert with Ricardo announcing he had officially become a licensed architect that we found out. Safe to say..the group chat popped off. 🌟 From a Hispanic American Construction Industry Association (HACIA) Scholarship Recipient to now a Licensed Architect at JP Architects, Ltd., Ricardo has continually impressed us with his hard work and commitment. We are incredibly proud of Ricardo and excited to see what he accomplishes next. 👏 #LicensedArchitect #JPArchitects #HACIA #Architecture #TeamSuccess #CareerMilestone 🚀 #PersonalGrowth #Hardwork
