Owner.

Lloyd Jones has been in the steel detailing business since 1981. After graduating from LSU with a degree in Industrial Technology, he worked at Port Allen Marine where he helped in the design and construction of barges.

 

Lloyd is a Christian and believes in running his business with integrity and Christian principles. His desire is to provide the highest quality of living for all his employees at the office and in their personal lives. This has lead to an excellent working environment.

 

 

A Desire to Innovate

A Principled Foundation

Seizing Opportunities

The desire for innovation has been implanted in every aspect of our company, allowing Innovative Steel Detailing to grow from a two man operation in Baton Rouge into ISD Global with offices in Baton Rouge, Dallas, San Antonio and China.

 

After leading our industry in moves from drafting tables to wide format printers and now paperless systems, ISD continues to look to the horizon of steel detailing. What should you expect? 3D printed models? Interactive VR simulations of your projects?

 

Whatever the future holds, you can expect ISD to be at the forefront.

 

A strong eye for the future is grounded by an understanding of the past. From the beginning, Lloyd Jones has sought to run his company based on the Christian principles he holds dear. At times this has meant sacrificing easy gains in the name of maintaining honest relationships with our customers, but experience has shown us how much more valuable these affiliations prove to be over time.

In 1987 a friend of our founder won $15,000 in a Coca-Cola sweepstakes. Lloyd Jones asked him to take a chance and invest it in an idea. The following year Mr. Jones reached out to another friend who was willing to put up his house and several stocks as collateral against the purchase of Innovative Steel Detailing’s second computer. At the time, that computer cost as much as a brand new BMW.

Technology hardly ever presents itself at the peak of its possibility, this is something ISD has always understood and taken advantage of. From the earliest X/Y pin plotters that lagged behind the skills of a seasoned draftsman to the pixelated lines on the screen of an Apple II, ISD has sought to adopt new technologies to push the boundaries of what our customers should expect from us. One needs only to look at our web address to understand how far we plan ahead.
