half J2 has expanded into new markets and grown tremendously.
Jessica says, “I am very proud to have been a part of
the growth and look forward to the exciting things to come.
While the financial and administrative teams are oftentimes
overlooked in the construction industry, we play a huge role
in the success of the business. I am involved with day to day
operations and work with the project managers and senior
management. We build just as much in the office as they do

in the field and I enjoy being a part of each project and seeing
them come to fruition.”
Rene Buska is the Accounts Receivable Specialist. She just
joined the team in June and so far so good! “I am so excited
to be a part of a company that has grown so quickly in just
three years. Coming out of a pandemic with so many new
projects is impressive. I’ve only been here a few months but
everyone is so helpful and eager to help me learn and it’s
great being a part of so many strong, smart women. I can’t
wait to see what’s on the horizon for J2.”
Together they form a successful group of strong, independent,
highly motivated women. “These women are valued at
J2 because they all offer uniquely different skill sets, including
management, organization, creativity and seeing the big-picture,”
explained Lipshires.
Leanne commented, “Women can and do succeed in the
construction industry and are valued because we bring a
unique energy to the job.”
Since its inception in 2018, J2Construct’s growth continues
to be visible on and off the island. Just drive around from
Indian Avenue in Portsmouth to Coggeshall Avenue Newport
and you will spot a red J2 logo project banner. Last summer,
they acquired the Middletown based Advanced Building Concepts,
which has only helped them persevere during the difficulties
during the pandemic. They were able to retain all their
employees, increase staff and expand business operations.
Jeff concluded by saying, “Our staff continued to remain
focused on providing the absolute best customer service, as
well as timely, cost conscious and efficient delivery of projects.
And it would not be possible without this strong team
of women who keep us running smoothly and help us forge a
strong, solid reputation of being thoughtful and responsible
builders. We value our relationships with every client as well
as our architecture and engineering partners from beginning
to end.”
J2Construct, Inc. is a proud sponsor of the National
Association of Women in Construction which is celebrating
its 60th Anniversary this year.
