Alex Jansen, President, Jansen Construction Company

Alex Jansen

President

"The projects we pursue are those we believe we can add value to."

Alex Jansen became a general contractor in 1996. He has built hotels for several major brands as well as commercial, retail, and medical projects. While growing his company from a small business to a highly regarded builder in several states, Alex has taken on many roles. "I've worked on just about every level of a project," says Alex, "whether pushing a broom, being the on-site supervisor or project manager, I've done it all." It is this wide range of experience that has taught Alex the value of professionalism and respect. "I have found that the best projects are those where people understand their responsibilities and the expectations are clear. It gives everyone a chance to step up and be part of the project's success."

Alex has been involved in the construction and hospitality industry most of his life. Even before beginning his professional career working in construction financing after graduating from the University of Oregon, Alex was involved in the hospitality industry. "My parents owned a small motel in Southern Oregon so I learned a lot about the challenges and rewards of the hospitality industry from an early age."

Looking forward, Alex sees a bright future for Jansen Construction Company. "We know what we are good at and only bid projects that we truly believe that we can offer clients the best value. We have a terrific team of core employees and sub-contractors that have worked together for years and understand their role in making projects successful," says Alex.

"Good documentation keeps everyone on the same page."

Gina Jansen has been part of Jansen Construction Company since it was founded. As the company has grown, her responsibilities have expanded to include oversight of finance, accounting, corporate governance and administration. Gina plays a key role in maintaining good communication and understanding between the job site and the client.

"It is critical to always have the client's best interest in mind and that means keeping an eye on the big picture at all times."

Following policies, procedures, and standards ensures the quality of every job and the reputation of Jansen Construction Company. "It's about being professional," says Gina, "having established expectations of our employees and subcontractors helps to keep everyone on the same page during the project." While Gina recognizes "no one likes paperwork," she stresses its importance to employees and subcontractors. "Good documentation can help solve problems that can come up during the project."

Gina understands that no other project is more important to the client than their project. Everyday she strives to exceed their expectations and do her part to make the project run smoothly.
