Learn More about IFMA Houston’s 2021 Fish Fry Title Sponsor: J R Jones Roofing! |
|
We would like to take a minute to thank IFMA for this opportunity and tell you a little more about what we stand for as a company! We want you to know that we are here not just to build roofs, but to build trusting, lifelong working relationships as well. With over 34 years of quality experience, we at J.R. Jones both install and maintain the various waterproofing systems that encapsulate the entire building envelope for all commercial, industrial, retail, medical, hospitality, and entertainment facilities. We specialize in all facets of concrete prep, sheet metal, waterproofing, and roofing types including, modified bitumen, single ply, tile, metal, built-up, coatings, sealants, glazing and many more. It is with great pride that we can also provide an extensive list of manufacturers which we are approved to install, which is a key indicator of our quality and reliability. Since 1983 J.R. Jones has defined what a true partnership should be between a contractor and an end-user. Excellence in roofing, sheet metal, concrete prep, and waterproofing should not be something that is used as a marketing slogan, it should be the bare minimum of service and end-user receives. It is with this thought that J.R. Jones strives to create lasting partnerships built on basic fundamental ideologies such as honesty, trust, quality, and determination. Our leak geeks are available 24/7 to help out with any leak request by sending an email to [email protected]. We look forward to partnering with you! |

Sponsor Article: "iOFFICE’s Space-Right App Empowers A More Flexible Workplace" By Ibrahim Yate with Susan Clarke Executives across facilities management, human resources and real estate should read this report to better understand iOFFICE’s product Space-Right. Released in May 2020, Space-Right is an add-on module to iOFFICE’s space management solution, which provides tools to help facility and workplace executives plan for and manage office re-entry amidst social distancing as well as hybrid working. Space-Right helps by categorizing occupants based on their access rights and recommending socially distanced office setups. This rationalizes the coordination and communication involved in return-to-work processes. Doing this correctly is of critical importance when trying to allay employee anxiety about re-entering their workplaces following the pandemic. |
