What Studio Jaed does

Studio Jaed (operating as StudioJAED) is a private architecture, engineering, and facilities solutions firm headquartered in Bear, Delaware, with regional offices in Camden, Delaware (opened October 2024) and Providence, Rhode Island. The firm delivers integrated services across five practice areas: architectural design (master planning through interior design), mechanical/electrical/plumbing engineering, planning, facility condition assessments, and virtual reality design visualization. Its primary client base is institutional — K-12 school districts, colleges and universities, and state/county/local government agencies — supplemented by commercial and enterprise work. Notable engagements include a 12.3 million gross square foot facility condition assessment for Princeton University across 350+ buildings, $300 million in repair/upgrade costs identified for San Francisco Unified School District across 149 buildings, a $600 million multi-year Capital Improvement Program for Providence Public Schools, statewide assessments for the Delaware Department of Education (nearly 200 facilities) and New Jersey DOT (150 buildings), and facility management program development for Fortune 250 enterprise client Progress Energy.

The firm's technical differentiator is integrated multi-discipline delivery — architectural and MEP engineering capability under a single roof — combined with a proprietary tool called CT2000, a customized Microsoft Access-based assessment and reporting instrument used for facility condition assessments and long-term capital planning. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales through competitive bidding, RFP processes, and direct institutional relationships, typically structured as multi-year project contracts. The firm generates revenue exclusively through professional services fees — no software, SaaS, product, or channel revenue — priced per project based on scope, square footage, and complexity; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Founded in 1978, Studio Jaed operates with 11–50 staff across its three offices and reaches projects in at least 10 U.S. states (DE, RI, MD, MA, PA, NY, CA, NJ, VA, NC). The firm has no parent company, no institutional investors, no funding rounds, no patents or trademarks, and no disclosed revenue. It collaborates with tier-one construction and engineering partners including Gilbane Building Company, Shawmut Design and Construction, Haley & Aldrich, Maguire Group, CDA&I Architecture and Interiors, and ikon.5 architects, and has accumulated federal and regional recognition including U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Awards (2012, 2013, 2014), CEFPI Project of Distinction (2011), ABC Excellence in Construction awards (2007, 2008), and the 2024 Providence Preservation Society Preservation Award.

Core offering

Studio Jaed (StudioJAED) is a multi-discipline architecture and engineering firm providing integrated architecture, mechanical/electrical/plumbing engineering, building planning, facility condition assessments, and virtual reality visualization services. It sells project-based professional services to educational, governmental, and commercial clients, using a proprietary Microsoft Access-based CT2000 database for assessment and reporting.

Product overview

Studio Jaed is a professional architecture and engineering firm offering an integrated suite of services including Architecture, Engineering, Planning, Facility Condition Assessments, and Virtual Reality services. The company operates as a unified service offering rather than a software product platform—clients engage Studio Jaed for end-to-end project delivery from facility assessments through design and construction administration. The core services work together: Facility Condition Assessments inform the Planning services, which feed into Architecture and Engineering design, with Virtual Reality used as a visualization tool throughout the process. Studio Jaed also developed CT2000, a proprietary Microsoft Access-based database application used internally for facility condition assessments and reporting.
