Jones Builders Group ________________________________________________________________________________________

The story of Jones Builders Group ( JBG ) could be made into a movie . Nathan Jones , hailing from the green valleys of Wales , visits his builder dad in LA , and falls in love with the warm sunshine of California . Eventually moving to the US , he works on building projects with his dad , before moving on to work with other contractors .

As the plot thickens , Nathan finds himself working on the home of Baywatch star David Charvet , but under a contractor that was not performing to standard . When David ended that contract before the project was complete , he needed someone to finish the house – and he asked Nathan to step in .
“ I stayed on and finished David ’ s house , and we formed a great relationship ,” says Nathan , taking up the narrative . “ He would refer me to his friends , and I would build houses for them . Eventually he purchased a house that Mel Gibson owned , and he wanted to build a brand-new house on that land . David asked me to take on that project , and by this time he really loved the building process , and asked if he could join the business . I suggested he take on the sales role , finding and getting projects on board for the future , while I focus on operations and building . Basically , I ended up with a really great salesperson !”
Seamless synergy
The match might sound unlikely , but Nathan and David have now established Jones Builders Group ( JBG ) as a creator of dream homes and commercial properties in Malibu , Pacific Palisades , Venice , Santa Monica , and Brentwood . Their reputation for the highest standards means that they are approached by clients months before they even break ground , in order to gain their valuable insights and skills , as well as utilize the state-of-the-art technology they embrace as part of the process .
“ We have an in-house 3D modeler , where we input all the plans from architectural to plumbing ,” explains Nathan . “ We create a 3D model , which we use to work through any problems that may arise as part of the design or build . That way we can minimize any delays to the build resulting from unforeseen conflicts .”
