When you’re working with J.T. Magen, everyone is on the same team and is treated equally with an emphasis on getting the job done right. They don’t try to cut corners to save money; they have an old-school mentality on working through issues that come up. In this industry, six figures can disappear in the blink of an eye when mistakes are made or infighting happens over change orders, impacting schedule and budget. J.T. Magen treats the clients’ money like it’s their money.
