Who We Are

Jackola Engineering & Architecture is a multidisciplinary design firm that brings architecture, engineering, land-use planning, surveying and interior design together to support complex projects with clarity and confidence. We work across regions and disciplines, aligning technical expertise with practical decision-making to help clients move projects forward efficiently.

Our teams operate as one coordinated group, not isolated specialties. This integrated structure allows us to anticipate challenges early, streamline collaboration, and deliver solutions that respond to real-world conditions — from site constraints to stakeholder needs.

From small community projects to large institutional developments, we approach every assignment with the same mindset: understand the context, respect the people involved, and design solutions that work beyond the drawing.

“Thor was a pillar in his community. He treated clients, employees and whoever he came into contact with like family, especially when it came to his business.”

Our Story

Jackola is a family-owned, full-service engineering and architecture firm rooted in the communities we serve.

Founded by Thor Jackola, our firm was built on a simple but enduring belief: projects succeed when people are treated with care, honesty, and respect. That belief shaped a company culture grounded in client advocacy, collaboration, and practical problem-solving—values that continue to guide how we work today.

Making business personal is more than a philosophy; it’s how we help mission-driven clients navigate complexity, manage risk, and deliver projects that perform. By pairing deep technical expertise with clear, consistent communication, our teams serve as trusted advisors—helping clients make informed decisions at every stage of a project.

Across our studios, Jackola employees are united by a shared commitment to Keep Connected, Make it Personal, Exceed Expectations and Find Solutions. These values define how we collaborate with one another and how we show up for the clients and communities we serve.

Our Mission

Our mission is to serve as a trusted partner to our clients and communities by delivering thoughtful, coordinated design solutions that balance vision with practicality. We approach every project with care, accountability, and a commitment to doing what’s right — even when the path forward is complex.

We believe strong outcomes are built through clear communication, collaboration, and follow-through. By staying engaged throughout the design process, we help clients navigate challenges, make informed decisions, and move projects forward with confidence.

Above all, our mission is to create lasting value — for the people who use the spaces we design, the communities they serve, and the clients who trust us to guide the process.
