Our History
JBC Associates, Inc. (JBC) was founded in 1988 by Janet B. Cunningham, PE, after a successful career as a senior construction consultant and project experience gained in the public sector working for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Janet began the firm as its sole employee, based on her philosophy of doing your professional best and treating others with respect. She quickly found herself providing claims consulting services to a major pharmaceutical company and owner representation services to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania during the construction of four new state prisons in the early 1990s.
Since the firm’s early beginnings, JBC has been helping owners, design professionals and contractors alike accomplish their goals on both new and rehabilitation projects for traditional design-bid-build and alternative project delivery programs. JBC assists clients in the areas of risk analysis and mitigation, project controls, CPM scheduling, budget analysis, constructability review, construction monitoring and inspection, contract administration, and claims avoidance.
