Military

Overview

Military construction doesn't leave room for mistakes. The systems in a reserve base or arsenal have to work the first time, every time, under conditions that most commercial buildings will never see. That means tighter specs, stricter oversight, and zero tolerance for deficiencies at turnover.

DoD projects follow Unified Facilities Criteria and USACE standards that go well beyond commercial building codes. Commissioning on these facilities means verifying HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection systems against those requirements while working within the access restrictions and security protocols of an active installation.

On the project management side, military work adds layers that civilian projects don't have. Coordinating with base operations, meeting federal procurement requirements, and keeping a project on schedule when access windows are limited by installation activity.

Applicable Services

What we do for military clients

New Construction Commissioning

Full Cx for new military construction. We verify HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and building envelope systems against UFC standards and project specs before the government accepts the facility.

Existing Facility Commissioning

Retro-commissioning of aging military infrastructure. Many installations have buildings decades old with systems that have drifted from original performance. We find the gaps and get them corrected.

Program & Project Management

Scope control, scheduling, cost management, and stakeholder coordination for DoD construction and renovation programs. We handle the federal procurement and reporting requirements so the project stays on track.

Construction Progress Inspections

Regular on-site inspections to verify construction quality, code compliance, and conformance with contract documents. On military installations, catching problems early matters more because rework with restricted access is expensive.

Why JMK

We know how to work on a base

JMK has active military projects at Grissom Air Reserve Base and TACOM Detroit Arsenal. We've worked through the security clearances, access protocols, and federal coordination that come with defense work. None of it was new to us when we got there.

Our team includes PE-licensed engineers experienced in UFC compliance and USACE project delivery. We understand the difference between commercial building codes and military construction standards, and we commission to the right ones.
