JBA has functioned as the prime consultant offering services including Needs Assessments and Master Planning reports, Land Planning, Design, Construction Documents and Construction Administration. - DESIGN EXCELLENCE
John Bates Associates has been recognized by peer and professional groups with awards for design excellence. Our projects have been honored nationally and locally with multiple awards from the A.I.A. and U.C. Irvine as well as Pacific Coast Builders Conference. We have recently recevied awards by the American Public Works Association and the California Parks and Recreation Society for Design Excellence. - DELIVERY/COST CONTROL
John Bates Associates has been consistently delivered projects below cost estimates. Our projects are typically produced some 15-30% below average costs of similar facilities in the region. This experience has created feedback which has been incorporated into the design, detailing and specifications which enhances the integrity of the construction documents and our ability to preclude Change Orders. - REPEAT WORK
The pattern of repeat work with cities such as Lakewood, Santa Fe Springs, Yorba Linda and Fontana affirms our focus on service, design excellence, ability to meet or exceed project goals, objectives and budgets, and the impact they have on the community they serve.
