THE JC&A WAY

SO YOU CAN CREATE JC&A is one of the leading construction management firms in the robotics industry and in spearheading innovation. The philosophy behind JC&A’s management structure is to identify the full range of our clients’ business objectives and develop solutions that satisfy those objectives. We understand every project has a distinct vision so we listen and learn, and then tailor our management solutions around our clients’ concerns. By taking this serviceoriented approach and partnering with our clients, we build customer loyalty and consistently exceed expectations.

SO YOU CAN DEVELOP Robotics facilities are where the next greatest tools and technologies are being created. We build facilities that are flexible, inspiring, adaptive, and always prepared to incorporate the latest ideas. JC&A’s team uses the latest technology paired with our years of experience to create world-class facilities that can evolve wherever your research and business takes you. In fact, JC&A uses two Boston Dynamics Spot robotic dogs for documenting construction progress, monitoring remote environments, and automating tasks that would otherwise consume valuable resources.

A TRUE PARTNER FOR YOUR PROJECT JC&A builds for the world’s leading robotics companies by putting their innovation needs first. By drawing on our team’s collective expertise and collaborative, problem-solving approach, we deliver cutting-edge facilities that support your unique processes and strategies.

We have become a trusted construction partner and take pride in helping our clients meet their growth and facility needs. We have collaborated with a full range of user groups with strict security requirements and time-sensitive schedules. With a strong focus on the Northeast’s robotics and technology boom, we take pride in helping to turn our clients’ visions into reality.

“

JC&A, as the construction lead, was an easy choice. They brought their actual team to the table day one on site; we met everyone from the superintendent to the project managers. I knew that any team that had that level of transparency and willingness to put who’s going to do the job right in front of us were going to be a good team to work with.”

AARON SAUNDERS, CTO- BOSTON DYNAMICS

Client Satisfaction JC&A’s depth of experience in the robotics market is key to how we meet client needs. We draw from this experience to identify end-user requirements and work with all stakeholders to exceed expectations. Our team is passionate about construction and technology, and we always look for opportunities to align ourselves with outstanding clients. We are proud to deliver facilities commensurate with our clients’ status in the robotics world.

OUR TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS Finding better ways to help you get more done.

JC&A has a long-standing relationship with iRobot, and has completed several projects at their Bedford, MA Headquarters, totaling approximately 500,000 SF of new construction and renovation work over the past decade.

JC&A recently completed a multiphase renovation project with Architect IA and Engineer AHA. Together, the team has created an “open ceiling plan”, featuring exposed beams and ductwork, as well as a natural wayfinding corridor which leads to different departments and office features acting as a main corridor, and offering a multitude of visitor experiences through a variety of unique finishes.

Leading Robotics Clients Put Their Trust in JC&A

Amazon Robotics uses its software and machinery to automate the flow of inventory in Amazon fulfillment centers. There are three main physical components to the company’s system: mobile shelving units, robots, and employee workstations. The robots deliver mobile shelving units to stations, and employees either put inventory in (stowing) or take it out (picking).

AutoStore’s warehouse automation system is the pinnacle of speed, density, and accuracy for e-commerce and 3PL giants.

Autostore’s system, the world’s fastest goods-to-person solution, optimizes every robotic route for peak throughput. The modular cube design fits any space, quadrupling capacity and boasting a 99.7% uptime. With rapid order processing and full SKU access, AutoStore seamlessly scales with your growth, powered by cutting-edge tech and analytics for a streamlined, error-free operation.

Berkshire Grey is a pioneer in transformative, AI-enabled robotic solutions to automate online order fulfillment and store replenishment operations for leading retail, 3PL, grocery, and eCommerce companies.

Boston Dynamics imagines and creates exceptional robots that enrich people’s lives. Building machines that can approximate the mobility, dexterity and agility of people and animals is a grand challenge. Curiosity and respect for the natural world are at the heart of our work on robots. They see products derived from this work as the next step in the human history of building machines to reduce the danger, repetition and physically difficult aspects of work. Spot is an agile mobile robot that navigates terrain with unprecedented mobility, allowing you to automate routine inspection tasks and data capture safely, accurately, and frequently.

iRobot designs and builds innovative home robots, including the Roomba®️ robot vacuum and the Braava®️ family of mopping robots. But their technology isn’t just about robots. It’s about their customers –and finding better ways to help them get more done.

RightHand Robotics builds a data-driven intelligent picking platform, providing flexible and scalable automation for predictable order fulfillment. RightPick, their robotic piecepicking solution, enables retailers to rise up to the new realities of online commerce.

“

JC&A has been a trusted partner of iRobot for over ten years now. They have built over 500,000 SF of office, R&D, and manufacturing space, including our World HQ in Bedford, MA. These renovations often took place in fully occupied buildings that can be a nuisance to employees when not managed properly.

JC&A is not only highly knowledgeable and resourceful, but they bring a sense of calm and predictability to our team through their constant communication that allows us at iRobot to focus on our essential work designing and building home robots.”
