Design Philosophy:


We believe that the effective integration of engineered systems into Architecture involves a complimentary approach to suit the aesthetic purpose and the functional needs of a project. The engineering should add value and moderate the use of financial and natural resources in the most practical way possible. The design needs to balance all of the factors involved.


There isn't a singular way to approach all design projects; to choose a prescriptive approach on a wholesale basis means that any given project doesn't achieve our client's goals and may be over-engineered or under-performing. That's too easy of an approach when your project depends on multiple factors. 


Our Background


J A Mills began it's operations in July of 2013 in order to provide electrical, mechanical and plumbing engineering services. The firm is incorporated in the State of Texas and is located in San Antonio. J A Mills provides MEP services in multiple markets including Healthcare, Commercial, Government, Retail, Hospitality, Venues, Transportation, Industrial, Critical Infrastructure and others.

Our Culture


We strive to maintain a culture of continuous learning, enrichment and empowerment. We believe that Senior Leadership should lead through mentorship; that Junior leaders lead through new ideas and engagement. While check-listing can be a quantitative support tool, quality comes from a solid understanding behind engineering decisions. We foster better engineering by encouraging and supporting new work methods such as hoteling, teaming and work-from-home. We can be differentiated by many factors but most certainly by the strength of our commitment to your project goals. Ultimately, we understand that we don't meet our goals if we don't meet yours.
