Kreg T. Jones Architecture

Kreg is a talented architect in both urban and commercial designing as well as rural rustic applications. I have assisted him with all forms and find his calm personality is pleasing and easy to work with all types of persons. He is a good listener and extremely creative while being willing to "work outside the box"! Kreg has worked on many projects with limited budgets and other which were unlimited...........all were successful.

Since 2012 I have been working with architect Kreg Jones on our Episcopal church in Dillon, Montana. Kreg has helped us maintain the historic character of this church while making our buildings safe and welcoming for modern use. Our financial resources are limited, and our decision process somewhat convoluted, but Kreg has patiently seen us through several planning stages, from assessing our buildings’ structural integrity, safety, and accessibility, to coming up with several iterations of design alternatives, and serving as our construction contract representative and inspector. The street-view and plan-view renderings he created were valuable tools for generating discussion and helping our congregation understand, prioritize, and support the projects. As project manager for the church, I have enjoyed working with Kreg. I appreciate Kreg’s professionalism, and his ability to listen and talk over the ideas and concerns I bring to him from the church. He is creative in incorporating those ideas and meeting those concerns in the design process. He answers questions without making me feel silly or stupid for asking. When you work on old buildings, something is bound to come up, and ours is no exception. Kreg set up our plans and contract in prioritized phases, so when the asbestos needed remediation, and the sewer line needed to be replaced, that could be done without stalling the whole project. We had to put off some of our planned work, but we completed the top priority phases within 11% of budget, and have the remaining plans ready when there is opportunity to continue. When we have found details missed that need attention, Kreg has been attentive to take care of them. Our church presented some unique design challenges, like building a new structure to support the 1,500-lb swinging church bell (operated by a rope pull) at the gable end above the church entry, and designing the new vaulted ceiling and roof of the entry to blend well with the soaring cathedral ceiling of the post-and-beam church itself, which dates to 1882. I think Kreg had good engineering advice and was able to design practical solutions that are also aesthetically appropriate. I could trust his judgement for questions like “should this round window be 5 feet in diameter or 6?” and he supported his recommendations with rationale that any church lady could appreciate. I think his work on this and other sorts of public projects speaks well of his personal commitment to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of our community. He might be the only architect most of us in Dillon, Montana will ever meet. But if we should deal with others in the future, Kreg will be a tough “arc” to follow. He has set a high standard of professionalism that is also down to earth and accessible.

Thorough, professional and very kind. Very creative and gutsy! Kreg can design traditional as well as new age modern. Has an incredible depth of research and design.

I have had the pleasure of working with Kreg on two recent projects in my community. One project was with the university and the other was with the local high school. Both projects involved capital project improvements for the schools. I would highly recommend Kreg T. Jones Architecture. Kreg is knowledgeable and easy & enjoyable to work with.

I worked with Kreg as a general contractor on many projects and found him to be knowledgeable regarding building code issues and highly conceptual in his design.

I recommend Kreg Jones without reservation. He listened to our needs and delivered plans that were beautiful, practical and artistic. We plan on continuing to hire him as our architect.

Kreg is not your 'cookie cutter' architect --- we selected him to design our Montana Ranch Home because of his boundless creativity. He is a complete pleasure to work with and he patiently incorporated our ideas. He secured incredibly unique materials, i.e. timbers were secured from an old trestle that ran over the Great Salt Lake and huge field boulders were used to build the fireplace. He is the 'total package architect' to design your new home.

Kreg is a great character and well rounded architectural designer. His experience in commercial and residential design as well as years of building have contributed greatly to his ability to understand clients needs and work with contractors.

Kreg Jones is extremely easy to work with and so professional. He kept us on track with our rather complicated project that was a rather hard sell to the community. Once completed every one is extremely proud of the work done and would like to take the credit! Isn't that the way it goes with a community project? We know who did the heavy lifting and are so proud and pleased with the project.
