“We do profit-sharing, different kinds of perks to bring
them along the way. We always hang out together.
Everybody understands where the company is going,
and at the end of the day, if everybody sees some ex-
tra money in their paychecks at bonus time, they feel
like ‘OK, this makes some sense to us,’ and they work
harder.”
The labor force has ranged from 45
to 75 in the last three or four years,
and the company utilizes technol-
ogy – all its foremen in the field
have iPads – to keep digitally con-
nected to all project sites from its
single headquarters office in Nas-
sau. Work at this time is done ex-
clusively in the Bahamas, but Jones
did not rule expansion to nearby is-
lands if it fell within his mantra of
“controlled growth.”
The target market is what Jones
labeled as “the middle, the middle-
high end and the high end,” which covers residential
projects valued anywhere from $800,000 to $4 mil-
lion and commercial projects from roughly $1 million
to $3 million. The uppermost threshold, he said, would
be around $8 million.
The residential/commercial work split, he said, is al-
most 50/50.
