Our mission is to be recognised as leading our industry in service and innovation through engineering and business excellence

WHO WE ARE JCA is a multi-disciplinary, engineering led organisation providing services to a diverse range of business sectors and end user clients.

The company has many facets, not only delivering a broad spectrum of engineering, maintenance, interior fit out and consultancy services, but also managing and mitigating client specific operational risks, particularly in operational and critical environments.

JCA has become a trusted partner to many healthcare, commercial, science and technology, and government organisations. This is achieved with engaged and motivated staff, working in a healthy environment with a positive culture, culminating in strong client retention and successful referrals to new clients.

ACCESSIBLE & FLEXIBLE JCA prides itself on being a small dynamic company with a purposefully flat structure. This is to enable our employees to be accountable, responsive and to provide our clients with immediate access to senior management ensuring that clients receive our breadth and depth of experience, support and direction, whatever the challenges.

EXPERIENCED We have the experience in design, MEP consultancy, construction, M&E fit out, internal fit out and M&E maintenance. Our holistic provision of services is unique, ensuring we consider projects in light of the full life cycle of the buildings; be it a data centre or MEP fit out or providing design and consultancy services. Our project teams are consistent from inception through to completion, ensuring clients benefit from our advice and experience.

JCA was wholly acquired by Mitie Group PLC in 2023 enabling the company to continue its exciting growth trajectory now belonging to the largest FM company in the UK.

TECHNICAL EXPERTS JCA employs a highly skilled team, bringing together a range of specialist technical proficiencies; clients are assigned a team who bring unrivalled industry expertise to a project, be it working in live business critical environments and in construction or complete design and build of data centres. Our approach for clients demonstrates detailed and considered thinking, ultimately solutions that consider the full life cycle of clients’ projects.

WHAT WE DO Our integrated approach allows us to self-deliver services through our own teams from design to construction to assessment.

JCA’s founding principle is that we are able to manage all aspects of a client project delivered both in-house and through our carefully selected and approved suppliers.

We provide all services through in-house teams from design through to construction to MEP assessment and maintenance. This means JCA has the unique ability to engage with clients at all stages of a building’s life cycle.

JCA operates with four main business divisions, with an overarching ethos to operate as a single entity, but with each business division working in collaboration with the others. The primary aim is to ensure that clients experience a consistent service across all divisions. The expertise held across the business divisions’ complement each other so as to provide a fully comprehensive package of deliverables to meet a wide range of client requirements.

PROJECT

Atrium project

We understand the challenges of live environments and strict deadlines and source all mechanical and electrical works in-house, enabling JCA to complete your project to a high specification, on time and to budget.

We specialise in: •

Commercial office fit out

•

•

Refurbishment

Design and build

Mitsubishi UFJ Securities International, an international bank with offices in London, entrusted us with a project to create a Japanese pavilion in the atrium of their offices.

This pavilion acts as a presentation and meeting space and was created to mark the launch of the bank’s brand. Due to this branding launch the project had to be completed within a three week time period. It therefore required absolute organisation with no margin for error.

DESIGN & CONSULTANCY Each of our core business functions together with our clients are supported by and benefit from our in house professional and advisory services consultancy. We offer extensive engineering and construction design and management capability.

Our depth of technical expertise with a proven track record of delivering award winning solutions to challenging design issues, enables us to engage on the most complex of project requirements.
