Integrated Core Disciplines
We understand that every project is a balance of vision, budget, schedule, and technical realities. Our integrated team works side by side—architects, engineers, designers, land- use planning and surveyors—to deliver designs that are beautiful, buildable, and grounded in real-world constraints.
We focus on clear communication, thoughtful problem-solving, and long-term value for the communities we serve.
OUR SERVICES
Jackola Engineering & Architecture provides fully integrated design services across Montana, Washington, and the greater Pacific Northwest. With architecture, engineering, surveying, and planning working together, we help clients move confidently from early vision to construction.
We shape the built environment through Architecture, Interior Design, Civil Engineering, Land-Use Planning, and Master Planning—aligning site strategy, building design, materials, and long-term goals.
Our technical teams strengthen every project with Structural, Mechanical, Electrical, and Plumbing Engineering, designing efficient systems that support safety, performance, and comfort.
Foundational support comes from Surveying, which provides accurate site and construction data, along with Assessments and Graphic Design, which help clients evaluate properties, communicate ideas, and guide project decisions.
Together, these disciplines allow us to deliver coordinated, practical solutions—carrying projects from raw land to building occupancy with clarity and confidence.
OUR PROMISE
We provide trusted, integrated solutions that balance vision, practicality, and community impact. Whether it’s a school, civic center, healthcare facility, or commercial space, we build more than projects—we build trust.
Since
1969
What began in 1969 as a small design & construction company in Kalispell has evolved into a regional firm shaping communities across the Pacific Northwest. Through decades of growth, technology shifts, and new markets, one thing has never changed: our dedication to building relationships before buildings.
Jackola remains committed to the same principle that started it all—helping communities reach their potential through thoughtful design, technical excellence, and genuine connection.
“Jackola staff always displays patience, a depth of expertise, attention to detail and knowledge of conventional, federal and state funding requirements. They are timely in their preparation of contracts, project documents, and the generation of invoices. Construction oversight is superior. Staff’s presentation and communication skills are impressive and especially appreciated in a public forum and in the planning and permit process.”
“It was great to work with an AE who was willing to listen, who understood budget constraints, and respected the realities of our projects (costs, necessity, and build time) and who still managed to bring to life the dreams we envisioned. We were impressed with their professionalism, efficiency, and client dedication. I can attest that, indeed, panicked phone calls are answered and emails are replied to – always quickly, and with as much humor as possible.”
“Jackola has worked with us on a 10 year master plan. During this effort, there has been detailed phasing to accommodate our continued operation, while performing extensive interior remodeling, structural and mechanical renovation. They have been willing to discuss complex systems in an understandable manner and have made it a priority to think ahead and anticipate issues before they come up. They have been personally warm and responsive as well. We are not just clients, we are part of the design team.”
