Celebrating 80 yearS of the Jaynes Way

Eighty years is more than a milestone. It’s a testament to the resilience and craftsmanship of generations of Jaynes employees. It’s also a testament to the Jaynes community in the Southwest. Since 1946, Jaynes has built more than structures; we’ve built schools where futures begin, hospitals where healing takes place, and workplaces that drive innovation. Most meaning fully, Jaynes has built lasting relationships with owners, communities, and each other. This defines the Jaynes Way.

The Jaynes Way guides every project we undertake.

From humble beginnings as a small concrete company, Jaynes has grown into one of the Southwest’s largest employee-owned companies. This evolution reflects the enduring principle underlying The Jaynes Way – that people achieve more together.

This philosophy shapes our culture, drives collaboration, and ensures the success of every project, from complex healthcare facilities to historic restorations. As the Southwest grows, so does Jaynes. We embrace new technologies, expand into new markets, and invest in the next generation of builders, all while remaining grounded in the relationships, integrity, and pride that have defined us for eight decades.
