Aagaard-Juergensen LLC

“We put more into our projects than we take away.” says Randy Brooks, President and Owner of Aagaard-Juergensen, LLC. Integrity, trust, and commitment to quality in meeting customer’s expectations are what most Owners would say they want to deliver for their customers. At Aagaard-Juergensen Randy leads his team in delivering on such a cultural commitment.

The fact that Aagaard-Juergensen has no litigation history with any client in its 42 year history is testimony to why most of Aagaard-Juergensen’s clients come back to Randy’s team time and time again and refer their friends to design and construct their projects. This testimony is backed up by the average length of service of Aagaard-Juergensen’s employees which is nearly 20 years.

Randy Brooks joined Aagaard-Juergensen the first year it was founded by Walt Juergensen and Bob Aagaard after serving his country in Vietnam while in the Air Force. Bob Aagaard retired from the company after fourteen years. Randy then began purchasing shares of stock giving him an entry into not just working for the company but directing its future. Upon Aagaard’s retirement Randy began the second part of his journey in helping to lay the foundation under a company that today delivers on what many strive to. Randy made a strategic decision that while delivering construction services Aagaard-Juergensen’s clients wanted more. Aagaard-Juergensen’s clients were demanding design and engineering services at a better value. More importantly those same customers were requiring greater responsiveness in dealing with the governmental approval process. In recognizing that it was taking far longer to permit projects than to design them and even to build them. Aagaard has since become efficient enough to get projects approved and under construction in one third the amount of time that the traditional design, bid and construct process would take.

During the 1970’s high interest rates demanded that construction be done as quickly as possible due to the cost of money through interest rates on construction loans. Today the time to market requirements to get manufacturing and other types of operations earning revenues and making profits is such that projects demand shorter time lines in the face of greater government regulation. Aagaard-Juergensen structured its operations and construction delivery systems to adjust to changing market demands to the benefit of its clients.

At the same time government agencies have come to recognize Aagaard-Juergensen as a Design and Construction firm that delivers what codes expect and do not try and skirt the requirements. They give Aagaard-Juergensen the benefit of the doubt in expediting request knowing that Aagaard-Juergensen will provide the correct documents conforming to the government codes so as to move projects through the system for approval.
