Our Story

A legacy of precision, innovation, and purpose-driven impact.

Early beginnings

1998 – The Beginning

Our story begins in the shadow of historic Stone Mountain Park, where Samuel A. Jones Jr. founded Atlanta Cost Services. With a focus on providing fast and accurate construction cost estimates, he established a name synonymous with precision and reliability in the Atlanta area.

Our name reflected our mission — providing the “Atlanta” construction industry with expert “Cost” estimate “Services”.

Stamina Engineering

2010 – Expansion into Consulting

In 2010, Dr. Samuel A. Jones III founded Stamina Engineering. His vision extended beyond estimation into full-service software consulting. With a philosophy centered around sustainable solutions and strong relationships, Stamina delivered transformative results for clients big and small.

The company moved operations to Florida in 2018 and continued its mission with renewed energy and innovation.
