Joseph Schneider, president and co-owner, founded JAS Design-Build in September of 1992 with his wife Kimberly Clements. Joe’s connection to the design-build world began as a teenager cleaning jobsites in New Jersey. That experience on the crew instilled in him a life-long love of building and those early lessons in framing, construction & craftsmanship have informed his studies in architecture and design. Achieving a quality design-build process while maintaining constant consideration of client needs is Joe’s primary focus. This means honest presentation of budget and schedule while creating projects which are both functional & beautiful. Integrity of the design & the design build process are of the utmost importance to Joe and his colleagues at JAS
“JAS-ers” and clients alike will tell you, Joe has an uncanny ability to get things done. He has developed a hands-on approach which informs an intimate and unique model of design-build. The JAS Design-Build approach moves a project from an idea to a beautifully finished product with attention to detail, budget and schedule maintained all along the way. Joe’s commitment to community, craft, texture and honesty are constants in his work while cultivating an aesthetic which continues to make a positive contribution to Seattle’s residential landscape.
This husband and wife collaboration continues to inspire their talented team of “JAS-ers.” The gallery of long time employees demonstrates the couple’s aptitude for successfully incorporating personal values into their business and work. The creative and personal well-being of the JAS team is paramount for Joe. Over the years, he has worked to provide paid time off, a 401(k) plan, and full health benefits. As a strong leader of the JAS team of talented designers, architects, carpenters, cabinet makers & project managers, Joe gives clients an unprecedented creative and innovative design-build experience.

Kimberly Clements, creative director and co-owner, founded JAS Design-Build in September of 1992 with her husband Joseph Schneider. Kim’s connection to the design-build world started in architecture and design school. In her role at JAS, Kim is able to continue developing a passion for homes and how we live in them while exploring just how beauty and creativity can live alongside reality and functionality.
Kim brings a unique blend of style and livability to the spaces she creates, looking for patterns that reflect the essence of a client’s life & interests. This intuitive ability is visible in her balanced and innovative design approach & completed projects. Her collaborative leadership and support throughout the design-build process ensures the forward momentum of the team & their project. Her mission as creative director is to guide the JAS Design-Build community to excel beyond the ordinary and push the design-build model to a truly unique place.
Joe & Kim with their design sensibilities and experience set the tone for work at JAS Design-Build by drawing on an admiration for tradition & craft but also a delight in innovation. It is her commitment to creating comfort within a space which helps define an important aesthetic value at JAS Design-Build. Her understanding of the hopes, needs and intricacies of daily life allows her to guide the design team in their ability to exceed their client’s expectations. The result, that ‘just-right’ feeling, can be felt in the homes of countless JAS Design-Build clients.
As a designer who embraces a builders sensibility, Kim’s tenacity and ‘say it like it is’ nature offers a contagious enthusiasm for finding the possibilities inherent in each project. This is a unique aspect of design-build as practiced at JAS She values a warm expressive home, a meal made from scratch, laughter, a great story, and uses the tools of design-build to celebrate just such things in her work.
