Who We Are
For nearly 40 years, Journey Office Builders LLC has been the general contractor property managers, building owners, and office managers rely on to deliver their interior buildout needs.
From capital improvement projects and white-box/spec suite construction that drives leasing, to complete tenant fit-outs for new occupancies, JOB delivers to the highest standards because we know that work in occupied buildings demands disciplined scheduling, meticulous site management, and clear, proactive coordination across every trade.
The company was founded in 1989 by Mike Miravi, who alongside Scott Johnson ran operations in a dedicated partnership for decades, cementing the firm's reputation for unwavering reliability across the DMV region.
President
Richard brings a strategic, operations-first approach to every project at Journey Office Builders. With a background spanning finance and management consulting, he has extensive experience building scalable systems and processes for growing middle-market businesses, including the financial planning, budgeting, and operational discipline needed to scale a company sustainably.
He applies that same rigor directly to how JOB plans, estimates, and delivers projects for clients, with a focus on predictable timelines and tight cost control.
Richard holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College and an MBA from the Tuck School of Business, giving him both the analytical and the hands-on problem-solving skills to navigate complex builds alongside his team.
VP, Operations and Business Development
Werner brings experience in every facet of construction to his leadership of the building efforts at JOB. His career began with a subcontractor performing sitework and concrete foundations, then progressed through years with an international general contractor managing ground-up construction of office and multifamily assets, as well as full-building tenant buildouts. Prior to joining JOB, he served as a construction manager for a local developer, providing oversight on a highly complex adaptive reuse project that transformed a historic bank into a museum and event space.
Werner holds a Master's in Real Estate Development from Georgetown University and dual Bachelor's degrees in Civil Engineering and Economics from Bucknell University. He draws on both his education and his hands-on experience to deliver turnkey solutions.
This combination of technical, financial, and real estate expertise lets him see projects from every angle and deliver measurable impact to his clients' bottom line.
VP, Construction Services
With 33 years of experience in the commercial construction and facilities industry, Scott oversees all construction services across the firm. His profound understanding of building systems allows him to anticipate and resolve complex site challenges before they impact the schedule.
Prior to JOB, Scott spent fifteen years as a Senior Chief Engineer for CBRE, managing capital improvements for major commercial portfolios. This background gives him an invaluable perspective on what clients truly need from a general contractor: minimal disruption and flawless delivery.
Scott holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering, providing the technical foundation to navigate intricate MEP scopes and complex occupied-space renovations. His hands-on leadership is a cornerstone of the firm's reputation for unwavering reliability.
Property managers hire JOB for peace of mind, not just construction. JOB's standard of practice is to acknowledge a request within the hour, quote within 24-48 hours, and deliver invoices that match the estimate with no surprises.
JOB's work is built around active, tenant-occupied buildings rather than ground-up construction, which demands tighter coordination, cleaner site discipline, and constant communication with building management and tenants.
JOB holds preferred and approved vendor status in more than 40 buildings across the region's leading institutional property management portfolios, providing an inside track on tenant service work and emergency response priority.
