Jim Chapman Construction Group (JCCG) announces a new division, Chapco Design Build, a full-service commercial general contractor focusing on commercial construction for amenities in residential and multifamily communities, light industrial and retail. Headquartered in Georgia and licensed in seven states, Chapco Design Build is poised to become a trusted partner for developers seeking efficiency, value and seamless delivery.

Industry veteran Jay Kiger is President of Chapco Design Build. Formerly Vice President of Commercial Construction at Jim Chapman Construction Group (JCCG), Kiger brings more than 30 years of commercial construction experience to the position, including the past five years constructing amenity complexes for JCCG. Under his direction, Chapco Design Build is positioned to serve clients with a unique, integrated approach to construction management.

“Chapco Design Build was founded to fill a gap in the market for a truly streamlined design-build experience for commercial properties,” said Kiger. “We’re not just building structures—we’re building relationships and value. Our in-house capabilities, from sitework to architecture, allow us to tackle every challenge head-on and deliver results that exceed expectations.”

Chapco Design Build’s areas of expertise include:

  • Residential Amenity Complexes

  • Light Industrial Buildings 

  • Retail Centers 

  • Interior Fit Out

Kiger’s track record includes completing 12 amenity complexes totaling over 48,000 square feet, completing over 3 million square feet of commercial space, and managing horizontal site budgets up to $12 million.

His past commercial construction experiences, coupled with his recent work at JCCG, made Kiger the perfect candidate to lead Chapco Design Build.

Jim Chapman, founder of JCCG, will serve as Chairman of the Board for Chapco while he continues to lead Jim Chapman Construction Group, a build-to-rent general contractor with projects across the Southeast.

Chapco is a bold, forward-focused venture led by Kiger, Chapman and a growing team of industry experts. Together, they aim to redefine how commercial construction is approached, offering clients a collaborative, technology-enabled, and solutions-driven partner.
