Safety
Safety in all of J.M. Wilkerson Construction Co., Inc.’s operations is not only a company goal, but a requirement. We create a culture in which safety is a core value. Our commitment is to provide a safe and productive environment for everyone involved with our projects. At no time will safety be compromised because of cost. OSHA standards are met or exceeded at all times.
It is JMW’s belief that accidents can be prevented through planning, training and a cooperative effort in all areas of our operations, with our goal being to eliminate all injuries. This goal is accomplished by the following safe working practices on all of our construction sites.
Our superintendents and foreman are required to keep their safety training and education current. Each superintendent conducts weekly site safety meetings and inspections. We also utilize available safety resources such as the AGC’s Site Safety Training Programs and the Construction Safety Competency Training courses.

Technology
At J.M. Wilkerson, technology is heavily integrated into how we plan, manage, and deliver successful projects. From the preconstruction process all the way through closeout, connected digital platforms keep our project teams, owners, design partners, and trade partners aligned around current drawings, documentation, schedules, and field conditions. This grants our team improved visibility, accelerated communication, reduced rework, and helps teams address issues before they affect cost or schedule.
In the field, mobile-enabled workflows allow our teams to review and mark up plans, manage RFIs and submittals, complete safety inspections and daily reports, document progress, and create punch lists with ease. Information from the field and office is brought together through centralized systems, data analytics, and dashboards, keeping our field and office teams connected and giving teams clear insight into project costs, schedules, safety, and overall performance.
J.M. Wilkerson continues to evaluate and pilot emerging technology such as automation and Artificial Intelligence based on its ability to deliver practical, measurable value. We are responsibly expanding the use of AI in our organization to streamline repetitive work, improve access to project information, identify potential risks, and support better-informed decisions while keeping experienced professionals at the center of every project.
Our goal is simple: provide our people with secure, reliable tools that help them build safer, smarter, and more efficiently.
