Jeff Samuelson, AIA, NCARB
Founder & Managing Principal, since 1996
Jeff brings a unique blend of skills and experience to his role as leader of JZ Companies. As a registered architect, he casts a critical eye on every construction project, leveraging his expertise in building and development with his understanding of design and aesthetics.
Because of Jeff’s training, he’s able to see construction documents from the perspective of an architect AND an experienced general contractor — making suggestions that cut costs and improving functionality before the ground is ever broken. Combined with his decades of experience in the building industry, his love for creating buildings of lasting value, and his track record for moving projects over, around, and through obstacles, Jeff has positioned JZ Companies as a small business that’s truly a leader in the market.
As a member of the Ohio Board of Building Standards since 2012, Jeff is an acknowledged leader in the industry statewide. He also serves in various leadership positions on boards in the cities of Cincinnati, Dayton and Columbus, Ohio.

JZ Companies’ Subcontractors
JZ Companies works with a team of subcontractors who contribute significantly to the success of our business. These professionals must meet the same high standards for quality and safety that we demand of ourselves and our employees, and we choose them carefully for the value that they bring to your project.
To ensure that we partner with top-notch subs, we work closely with them, continuously monitoring their processes and analyzing their pricing methods. We also maintain open lines of communication among the building owners, trades, and contractors, which increases the efficiency and cooperation needed to get your job done right.
The long-term relationships that we have developed with many of our contractors speak to their commitment to excellence. Only those who we trust to do right by our clients stay on our preferred list of suppliers, technicians, tradesmen, and artisans.
