Jacobsen/Daniels Associates (JDA) just signed a contract with Cleveland International Airport to provide on-call planning. It's just the latest success for the Ypsilanti-based firm which has seen 400% revenue growth in the last five years.
From concept and planning through design and construction to facility management and operation, JDA client list includes some of the largest and busiest airports in the world, with projects around the country that have a total value of $3 billion dollars.
Since incorporating in 2001, Bradley Jacobsen and Darryl Daniels have grown from an office of two to a firm 20 strong. The firm has an active internship program that has hired 8 of the 40 interns they've had over the last six years and since January they've added three fulltime positions. By the end of 2008 JDA hopes to bring in another 6-8 hires.
"We're at the stage where we need to invest if we want to grow to $5-10 million in the next 5 years," sas founding partner Bradley Jacobsen. JDA's revenues for 2007 are expected to reach $2.4 million.
"We read all the news about MIchigan's economy and we think it's small businesses like ours that are going make the difference. Along with local talen we've actually brought in four or five people and had them relocate from other states."
