Joseph Schneider, president and co-owner, founded JAS Design-Build in September of 1992 with his wife Kimberly Clements. Joe's connection to the design-build world began as a teenager cleaning jobsites in New Jersey. That experience on the crew instilled in him a life-long love of building and those early lessons in framing, construction & craftsmanship have informed his studies in architecture and design. Achieving a quality design-build process while maintaining constant consideration of client needs is Joe's primary focus. This means honest presentation of budget and schedule while creating projects which are both functional & beautiful. Integrity of the design & the design build process are of the utmost importance to Joe and his colleagues at JAS
"JAS-ers" and clients alike will tell you, Joe has an uncanny ability to get things done. He has developed a hands-on approach which informs an intimate and unique model of design-build. The JAS Design-Build approach moves a project from an idea to a beautifully finished product with attention to detail, budget and schedule maintained all along the way. Joe's commitment to community, craft, texture and honesty are constants in his work while cultivating an aesthetic which continues to make a positive contribution to Seattle's residential landscape.
This husband and wife collaboration continues to inspire their talented team of "JAS-ers." The gallery of long time employees demonstrates the couple's aptitude for successfully incorporating personal values into their business and work. The creative and personal well-being of the JAS team is paramount for Joe. Over the years, he has worked to provide paid time off, a 401(k) plan, and full health benefits. As a strong leader of the JAS team of talented designers, architects, carpenters, cabinet makers & project managers, Joe gives clients an unprecedented creative and innovative design-build experience.
