It’s a fair question, and a good one. After all, there are a lot of competent builders out there.
So why choose Jacobsen?

We'RE owners, too

Jacobsen is a 100% employee-owned company—which means being part of completely different corporate culture. At Jacobsen, we’re not punching time cards; we’re proactively contributing to our own individual prosperity through taking excellent care of our clients, and excellent care of each other. Our tenets for ensuring success include:

• Performance, not entitlement—There are no entitlements at Jacobsen based on stock ownership. Our management personnel hold their positions based on performance and accountability. Hard work earns great rewards.
• “We can and we will!”—We know that our prosperity as individuals is directly linked to our performance on each and every project we deliver. There’s no such thing as can’t. It’s always “we can, and we will!”
• Teach, guide and advise—Our success and prosperity hinges on the performance of the friends we work alongside every day. Mentoring is critical to our success, and we take our stewardships seriously.
• Take care of today, look forward to tomorrow—Every employee understands how important a satisfied client is to the future growth and sustainability of our organization. Nothing, in fact, is more important. We know it, and we show it by giving our best performance every day.

We're client advocates

No egos, no power trips… we do whatever it takes to ensure that our owners are completely satisfied. Period. (Don’t take our word for it—read what our clients have to say.)

Big, small, nebraska, nepal—we build it all

Ok, so we haven’t made our way to Nepal… yet. But whether it’s a high-rise in the middle of downtown or a post office in the middle of nowhere, we’re changing skylines everywhere we build.

We have the magic formula

The Jacobsen Formula consists of seven elements that form the foundation of our philosophy. It might not be magic, per se… but we believe it’s a powerful component of our success.

Sticks, bricks—and pixels

We use the latest technology available—Building Information Modeling (BIM), tracking programs and scheduling software—to optimize our success on our projects (and because, frankly, it's pretty cool).
