What Jarrett Construction does

Jarrett Construction Services, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned design-build and construction management firm headquartered in the restored 1907 Capito House at 1605 Virginia St East in Charleston, West Virginia, with a secondary office in Morgantown, WV. Founded in 1999 by John Jarrett — a Registered Professional Engineer in WV and Virginia with 30+ years of experience including the Naval Facilities Engineering Command and the Smithsonian Freer Gallery renovation — the firm operates across seven verticals: commercial, religious, education, historic restoration, residential/multi-family, hospitality, and healthcare. The company combines design-build single-source responsibility with a lean-construction methodology (the Last Planner System) layered atop Procore client-portal and MS Project CPM scheduling infrastructure.

The firm's business model is project-based, one-time contracts ranging from $50,000 to $10,000,000, delivered through guaranteed-maximum-price (GMP) proposals, design-build delivery, traditional general contracting, and construction-management-at-risk. Revenue is generated regionally across West Virginia and the broader mid-Atlantic, primarily through direct engagement with property owners, business owners, and institutions — a sales-led motion reinforced by 40+ ABC WV Chapter Excellence in Construction awards spanning 2002-2019, an AIA Honor Award (Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral, 2004), an AIA Merit Award (Moses Residence, 2011), and Platinum STEP / AGC safety credentials. Notable repeat clients include Valley Health Systems (multiple sites 2014-2017), the Moses automotive group (2010-2015), Greylock Energy (formerly ECA), Pioneer Appalachian Federal Credit Union, Hotel Morgan, and Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral. Marketing channels are limited to the firm's own website, social media (Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube), and industry-association memberships.

Operationally, the firm runs with a core team of 11-50 employees and minimal reported technology infrastructure beyond standardized construction-software tooling. No external funding, M&A events, or non-founder investors have been disclosed; ownership and control remain concentrated with John Jarrett. The firm has incrementally expanded its geography (Morgantown office, 2023 Morgantown-area project pipeline) and its vertical mix (addiction-recovery/healthcare with the 2023 Ascension Recovery Services facility), but shows no evidence of high-velocity scaling, AI/ML adoption, or platform-style technology investment.
