LEADER LETTER Operational Excellence From the Desk of Burton Hackney, Vice President of Central Texas

A

t Joeris, our commitment to Operational Excellence is not only a core value but also the foundation of our strength as a company.

For 55 years, the Joeris standard has been excellence. Today, our focus on operational excellence is all-encompassing, focused on better project planning through virtual construction tools and improving project management delivery through LEAN construction methods.

Operational Excellence can best be defined as the continuous flow of value delivered to our clients every day. This occurs through superior client experiences, fiscal responsibility in minimizing costs, and eliminating wasteful processes in managing resources and materials.

When we can identify and see this flow of value to our clients, we fix that flow before it breaks down. This, in turn, drives predictable outcomes and project success.

2

CONSTRUCT

There are three main principles of focus that are vital for Operational Excellence to occur:

1

COLLABORATION

There is an axiom that states that as complexity increases, collaboration must increase relative to the degree of complexity.

We have never operated in a marketplace as complex as the one we are in today. Inflation, labor shortages, and supply chain issues add to the intricacy. As our projects also become more complex, we must continually look beyond what we have always done and raise our level of collaboration to match these challenges. Clients must be consistently engaged and informed, Architects and Engineers must be aligned with project budgets and constraints, and Trade Partners must be given a seat at the table so they can positively impact the schedule and efficiencies of our projects.

2

STANDARDIZATION

There is a direct correlation between the standardization of processes/procedures and means/methods to improve quality and Operational Excellence. Standardized work is a hallmark of LEAN construction methods and allows work to be performed in the safest, easiest, and most efficient way possible based on our current technologies. Standardized work enables us to work proactively instead of reactively, which allows leaders to better meet the needs of those they serve and is critical for measurement and continuous improvement.

3

LEARNING

I cannot overstate the importance of continuously developing ourselves, our skills, and those we serve. To achieve and, more importantly, sustain Operational Excellence, we must be learning and training regularly. Our people are our most valuable resource, and the quality of our learning directly impacts the predictable outcomes and success we strive for. At Joeris, we’ve focused on two tools to build a solid foundation of Operational Excellence: Values Based Leadership (VBL) and Facilitative Leadership (FL).

Joeris has always been a company focused on family, hard work, and excellence. And it is a passion for excellence that separates great companies from simply good ones. So, as we continue to live out our mission of Transforming People & Places, let us continue to strive for Operational Excellence that creates powerful partnerships and enriches the lives of people and communities where we live and work.

BURTON HACKNEY, VICE PRESIDENT OF CENTRAL TEXAS

ith the explosion of the Construction Technology space, there is a wide range of new tools at our disposal. It can be challenging to cut through the noise and determine which tools will provide valuable solutions.

Here are five reasons why Laser Scanning may be the right solution to consider on your project.

1

2

COST SAVINGS

SAFETY

accurate data reduces installation errors and eliminates construction re-work

The future home of the foodie grocery experience, the Pearl Market, is a 70-year-old industrial space with unreliable original documentation. The Joeris team performed a scan of the building’s interior, and the resulting point cloud was used to create an asbuilt model of the building to assist the design team.

LASER SCAN BASICS

L

aser scanning, also known as LiDAR and reality capture, uses a laser to capture and map an area with a high level of accuracy. It seemed farfetched when laser scanning was first introduced to the construction industry. It was expensive, difficult to source, and the industry wasn’t ready to embrace it. By way of technology and industry advancement, it has now become more accessible.

With the common availability of design and coordination models, the benefits of this technology have become a reality. As we’ve stepped into the possibilities of laser scanning, we have found that it has the potential to add value throughout the entire project life cycle.

During the design phase, and especially when working on renovations or additions to the existing structure, scans can become the starting point for design or provide a means for verifiying existing conditions.

LASER SCAN Success Stories

THE PEARL MARKETPLACE DEVELOPMENT

A Powerful Tool Worth Utilizing Construction Technology (CT) teams can easily integrate laser scans into models for trade coordination during construction. The scans can be performed quickly, done at various points of construction, and implemented to coordinate specific areas. CT teams can also use laser scanning to check concrete slab flatness easily.

This oversight allows us to quickly analyze the boundaries of any areas that need to be adjusted and determine the volume of material required.

Laser scanning is a powerful tool that enables a proactive approach to analyze and identify future challenges and risks. The LiDAR scanning process is quickly becoming the norm for Joeris projects due to our commitment to delivering superior performance, service, and results. —LORI PEERY

PROJECT SPOTLIGHT

CENTRAL MARKET PRESTON ROYAL “You don’t get to open a store and then, four years later, do it again.”

Stephen Butt, President of Central Market, a division of H-E-B Grocery Company

I

t was the morning of October 21, 2019, when the North Dallas neighborhood, Preston Oaks, was severely damaged by a tornado that tore through many residents’ homes the night before. H-E-B Grocery brought in Joeris to facilitate rebuilding the tornado-damaged Central Market, the grocery store anchor of Preston Oaks Shopping Center.

12

The local residents anticipated the store would reopen quickly.

For Joeris, the pressure was on to bring back what once was, to be a part of this community’s healing and return to normalcy.

Many stores chose not to return to Preston Oak’s Shopping Center. As for Central Market, the initial plan was to have the store reopen as quickly as possible by Thanksgiving of 2020.

CONSTRUCT

Schedule Extends to Provide a Better Central Market Than Before In October of 2020, the plan changed.

Central Market opted to update the store, expand the footprint, and extend the date the store would reopen to June of 2021. In total, the store was closed for 21 months.

The Central Market team returned the Preston Royal store to the residents in even better condition than before the tornado touched down.

Final Appearance & Quality of Finished Product Preston Oaks residents now enjoy the expanded footprint of their favorite local grocery store.

New amenities include a larger community room for cooking classes, larger produce and seafood sections, self-checkout lanes, a dedicated curbside, an upgraded café, a coffee bar, and an upstairs café seating area overlooking the entire store.

Reflecting on the Project Receiving the call from H-E-B to survey, make safe, and rebuild one of their Central Market stores after tornado damage was a challenge Joeris gratefully accepted.

After all, H-E-B and Central Market have a long history of building with Joeris. Joeris has built or renovated over 98 stores for H-E-B in the past five years alone.

It’s hard not to be positively influenced by the #1 grocer in Texas. Joeris’ commitment to customizing processes to meet the needs of H-E-B as a client has influenced the firm’s evolution as they have grown into a top general contractor in Texas.

Ultimately, grocery stores are community lifelines. For Joeris, it was an honor to be of service to Central Market and the residents of Preston Oaks during their time of need, restoring and improving the Preston Royal store as quickly as time allowed.

The store is also more energy-efficient with improved glazing and upgraded mechanical units.

SPECIAL FEATURE

2021

CELEBRATING A YEAR OF EXCELLENCE

T

hroughout 2021, the AEC (Architect, Engineer, and Construction) industry throughout Texas recognized Joeris for numerous accomplishments.

Joeris increased revenue by 14%, growing its annual contract revenue from $664 million to $761 million. Joeris’ various business units, which serve different geographical regions, were able to diversify their portfolios, taking on work in higher education, industrial, medical, office, recreation, and more.

So how was 2021 a year of growth, success, and recognition when many companies struggled to perform at such a high level under stressful conditions due to the pandemic, labor shortages, supply issues, and every other struggle that appeared in 2021?

The groundwork for a highly successful year began in 2019.

The executive leadership led the effort to re-envision our mission and vision while redefining four core values to shape our culture, promote ourselves and our work, inspire transformation, and reinforce the commitment to the character of our relationships.

For that refocus and commitment to excellence, Joeris project teams, individuals, and offices were recognized with industry accolades 25 times in 2021.

The Broadway Office Development, which included the finish-out work for the Credit Human headquarters, received six awards alone. Joeris San Antonio was once again recognized as a Best Place to Work (15 years in a row, now) and was recognized as Business of the Year by the San Antonio Business Journal for our ability to continue our success and growth in a challenging year for our nation.

2021 COMPANY AWARDS

“We firmly believe that our joint commitment to our core values and each other is what allows us to continue to thrive, even when times are tough,” notes Angela Cardwell, Executive Vice President. This commitment from Joeris is evidenced in our investment in leadership development and training.” In fact, in 2021, Joeris team members took part in more than 4,800 hours of training, impacting 90%+ of the overall staff. Joeris’ commitment to leadership development excelled through three key programs, Facilitative Leadership, Values Based Leadership, and Executive Reinvention Program. The combination of Joeris’ commitment to excellence, as well as leadership, has poised Joeris employees for success on individual projects, which is translating to company-wide success.

TRANSFORMING PEOPLE & PLACES The Victorian Playhouse

Author: Kasey Tieken Project Engineer Exerpt from ”Where I Work: Joeris General Contractors” Article featured in the San Antonio Report

W

hen I was assigned my first official project as a project engineer, I thought it was a joke. The project was a Victorian Playhouse, which was nowhere near the scale of the work I was used to seeing on schools, hospitals, and high rises. What I didn’t realize was how often we do philanthropic work for our surrounding communities.

Joeris was donating this playhouse to the Catholic Charity’s St. Nicholas Ball as an auction item. Learning that made me excited to take on the playhouse as my first project.

In my role, I was responsible for overseeing the entire process, from ordering the materials, to monitoring the construction by our team of carpenters, to coordinating the delivery of the playhouse.

This playhouse was not only beautiful but also brought out the purpose of why we do what we do here at Joeris.

Our mission of “transforming people and places” definitely came through in that project. My heart was beyond full when I heard the highest bidder of the playhouse donated it to the children at St. PJ’s Home here in San Antonio. I was very fortunate to help with the delivery of the playhouse, and seeing the staff members full of excitement and the kids watching from the windows with smiles from ear to ear reminded me why I love my job so much. —KASEY TIEKEN

LANDING A NEW CLIENT Building relationships with potential clients is a cornerstone for our business, but turning connections into clients can be a tricky in today’s market. In 2021, our Dallas, Austin, and Houston business units landed new annuity clients, so we asked our Client Development Directors for key takeaways from building relationships to land new clients.

What were the top tips for developing a relationship with clients? Listening to understand is paramount, as well as following up, and staying true to your word. Remember to be patient and understand that building trust and relationships is an organic process and can’t be rushed or forced.

“While pursuing a school district with the propensity for CMAR (a rarity in the Houston region), our office worked hard building confidence with both District Architects while simultaneously engaging with the District’s construction department.”
