Founded in 1982, Jamail & Smith Construction provides professionally managed renovations and new construction projects through Job Order Contracting (JOC), Design-Build, Construction Management and Traditional Fixed Price Construction. We have been an integral part of the construction industry for nearly 30 years throughout the State of Texas. Our founder, Jim Jamail, is the third generation to be actively involved in the Houston business community. Our firm began constructing shopping centers and retail facilities in 1982 and continues to serve many of those same clients today. With our flexibility and responsiveness, we were able to take on a large amount of work following and helping the citizens of Harris County recover from Hurricane Alicia in 1983 and continued to perform mostly public sector work through the 1980's.

In 1992, we added facility maintenance and repair as a specialty, as well as the semiconductor industry.

Our management philosophy is to "Exceed Expectations" and is based upon achieving customer satisfaction through innovative management. This philosophy has allowed us to achieve over 90% of our work through repeat business. As we grow, we continue to diversify our client base and develop our infrastructure to support sustained excellent performance. We are currently operating over twenty (20) JOC's for Higher Education, K-12 School Districts and Municipalities across Texas. We also operate an active subcontracting and general contracting practice focusing on municipal and school renovations and repairs. Additionally, Jamail & Smith Construction is the first contractor in Texas to delivery JOC through cooperative purchasing.  We now hold more cooperative JOC's than any other firm - TXMAS, BuyBoard, JOC First and TCPN.
