In the 25 years before I started this business I was a carpenter’s helper, a lead carpenter, a remodeler, a field superintendent for a production builder, a salesman for two local building material suppliers, and an estimator/purchaser for a Cary custom home builder.During those years I either made…or had to straighten out…every mistake that could possibly be made in the process of estimating, sourcing, ordering, scheduling, and installing the materials needed to build a house.
The goal at Phillip R Jones Inc is to apply these experiences to help builders…
And finally…to give builder’s a way to get their competitive bids “apples-to-apples” without the variables that depending on suppliers and subs brings to the process.

- Avoid errors and omissions by proofreading the plans and asking questions about options, product selections, and plan discrepancies
- Document all information in a way that makes communication with subs and suppliers easier
- Create documents to aid in pre-sale negotiations and cost-plus or fee management projects
