D E S I G N B U I L D 297 JDL Development, Inc. Inspired by diversity in design and never ones to shy from a challenge, the team at JDL Development, Inc. delivers projects that exceed expectations and cultivate relationships with clients who turn into lifelong friends and collaborators. Founded in 1976, the firm is known for its ability to take on both commercial and residential projects, whether the client wants to build from the ground up or remodel their existing property. It is the intimate nature of residential projects and the relationships that come from working closely with a homeowner, though, that inspires the team the most. With the belief that collaboration and transparency make for the best working relationship between the client and the design/build team, JDL provides feasibility studies and extensive budgeting assistance well before construction begins. The result is an experience with as few surprises for the client as possible. The amount of due diligence that the team performs is quite unlike any in their field. Architects and clients alike appreciate that the budget is broken down by each phase needed to complete the project. The team is utterly transparent about timing, scope, and budget of the project, as well as the best way to capitalize the home's site and natural surroundings. Together, this information helps owners make informed decisions with their architects and the team at JDL Development. However, the incredible service does not end when the owner receives the keys. The team is back on site 60 and 180 days after completion to ensure owners still love their home as much as they did on the day they moved in. It's this kind of service and the quality of work for which JDL Development has become known that brings clients back to the firm as their lives evolve.

The modern home, completed in 2007, features unobstructed views along the back, while the front affords the owners with plenty of privacy. Photograph by David Papazian Photography PORTLAND
