Jamail & Smith Construction LP

Greg Smith joined the firm in 2001 and has enhanced the operational and business development processes to support successful growth of our company. A professional engineer with more than 20 years of engineering and construction experience, Greg began his career as a Navy Civil Engineer Corps officer where he contributed to the Navy’s transition from traditional “low-bid” construction procurement techniques to the “best value” alternatives of design-build and job order contracting used today. He has successfully integrated this JOC  process into the Jamail & Smith Construction business plan and developed our company into one of the leading JOC contractors in Texas.

Jim Jamail has more than 30 years of experience in the construction industry. He has managed more than $100 million in construction for a variety of projects, including but not limited to: mission-critical facilities, medical office buildings, nursing homes, government buildings, K-12 and higher education. Jim manages the finance, accounting, human resources and risk management aspects of our company, which are housed in our Clear Lake office. He is responsible for ensuring all aspects of fiscal responsibility and contractual compliance are delivered with professionalism and reliability. Jim is a Houston native where he resides.
