After years in construction, one truth becomes painfully obvious: buildings remember how the site was treated long before anyone admired the finished structure. Site preparation doesn’t get framed, painted, or photographed, but it quietly decides whether a project behaves itself for decades or becomes a regular topic of uncomfortable conversations. Site prep is where reality...
By Jules Albert III, Owner of Jaymar Construction LLC – Slidell, Louisiana Metal buildings have come a long way from the plain steel barns most people picture when they hear the term. These days, metal-building systems are some of the most adaptable structures available, and they keep showing up in places folks never expect—warehouses, retail...
Older commercial buildings carry a certain charm. Some have brickwork that has survived hurricanes, economic cycles, and trends that probably should have stayed in the 1980s. Others come with stories—“This used to be a hardware store,” or “My uncle ran a print shop here back in the day.” Many of these structures sit quietly, waiting...
When it comes to warehouses, there’s one universal truth: no matter how much space there is, it never feels like enough. What starts as a clean, organized facility somehow turns into a game of industrial Tetris—pallets stacked like a skyline, forklifts zigzagging through tight aisles, and somebody in the corner muttering about where the last...
There comes a point in every building’s life when a little self-reflection is in order. The walls creak a bit louder, the HVAC starts coughing like it just ran a marathon, and the layout feels like it was designed when rotary phones were the height of innovation. At that moment, the big question comes up:...
Down here in south Louisiana, we’re blessed with some of the most beautiful landscapes in the country. The bayous, marshes, and wetlands define this region, and they’re part of what makes living here so special. But for builders like me, they also come with a very specific challenge: the ground under our feet isn’t exactly...
Living in Louisiana means living with water. Whether it’s heavy rainfall, storm surge, or the slow rise of nearby rivers and bayous, flooding is part of life in this region. Over the years, storms have taught an important lesson: homes that are built higher and stronger stand a better chance of withstanding the challenges that...
When people picture a building that supports Louisiana businesses, they often imagine something fancy—maybe brick facades, glass towers, or ornate woodwork. The truth is, the real backbone of operations across this state isn’t always flashy. It’s metal. Metal buildings may not win beauty contests, but they quietly keep industries moving, products stored, and people employed....
Construction has always been a business that mixes art, science, and a little bit of mud on your boots. It’s about more than pouring concrete and swinging hammers—it’s about vision, planning, and making things last. After more than four decades in this industry, I’ve learned that while tools, trends, and technologies may change, there’s no...
By Jules Albert III, Owner of Jaymar Construction LLC – Slidell, Louisiana Owning a commercial building comes with a long list of responsibilities. Somewhere between chasing down invoices, adjusting thermostats no one admits to touching, and fixing that one flickering light that refuses to die, roof problems tend to sneak their way in.
