How BBC engages. And when.
Every project is different. BBC structures engagements around what the project actually needs, not a standard service package.
BBC engages three ways, and they connect.
Project Clarity Assessment
Most projects start here. An independent read on exactly where things stand.
Embedded Project Leadership
Puts BBC on your side of the table for the life of the project.
Project Rescue & Full Delivery Command
The heavy-intervention tier for projects that have already gone sideways.
Know exactly where your project stands.
You should know exactly where your project stands. Right now, you may not.
The Project Clarity Assessment is built for two situations. You have engaged a builder-led or design-led team and want an independent read on what their agreement does not cover before you commit. Or your project is already underway, the reporting is not independent or verified, and something still feels off.
Project reporting is not always independent. It is not always verified. And it is not always structured around your exposure. The Project Clarity Assessment gives you an independent, construction-experienced picture of exactly where your project stands: cost position, schedule integrity, contract exposure, team performance, and the risks accumulating quietly before they become expensive.
Within two weeks, you will have a clear written assessment, a prioritized risk register, and a direct debrief from a senior construction operator who has no conflict of interest and no agenda other than giving you an honest picture of your project.
Either way, you are right to want clarity.
What the assessment covers
Week One — Site visit and independent verification
Progress verification on site. Review of all project documents, contracts, cost reports, and schedule submissions. Direct conversations with the GC and consultants where access is available.
Week Two — Independent analysis and risk register
Independent cost-to-complete analysis. Schedule risk identification. Contract gap review. Prioritized risk register with recommended actions. Assessment of whether the project needs embedded support, recovery intervention, or lighter oversight moving forward.
What you receive
- Written Project Clarity Report
- Risk register with severity ratings and recommended actions
- Cost and schedule position summary
- Priority action list for immediate, 30-day, and 60-day windows
- Verbal debrief session with Lawrence Brunelle directly
Pricing
Project Clarity Assessments start at $6,500. The final fee scales with project complexity and document volume. For projects under $5M, contact BBC directly. The assessment fee is credited in full toward an Embedded Project Leadership engagement if you proceed within 30 days.
Guarantee
If the assessment does not give you a materially clearer picture of your cost position, schedule integrity, and risk exposure, the fee is refunded. No conditions.
Your GC has their project manager. You need yours.
Experienced construction leadership embedded directly on your side of the table.
Most projects run without experienced, independent construction leadership on the owner's side. Reporting comes filtered. Consultants manage their own scope. And the ownership team receives a version of events shaped by people with a commercial interest in how that information lands.
Embedded Project Leadership puts an experienced construction operator directly inside your project, on your side of the table. For owners and ownership groups, BBC acts as your owner's representative. For general contractors, BBC is senior execution capacity embedded on a specific contract.
Attending the right meetings. On site at the right moments. Reviewing cost reports, challenging change orders, managing consultant response times, and coordinating trade sequencing before gaps become field conflicts. You get clear, honest reporting on where the project actually stands from someone with no conflict of interest and full accountability to you.
BBC can step in at any stage of delivery. Whether construction has not yet started or is already well underway, BBC gets to work quickly and without a lengthy onboarding process.
What embedded leadership covers
Construction Oversight
Regular site presence, attendance at all key project meetings, independent review of GC progress reports, cost reports, and schedule updates. Direct communication with GC senior leadership on your behalf. Challenge and verification of change order submissions before approval.
Project Controls and Reporting
Monthly independent project status reports covering cost, schedule, risk, decisions, and required actions in plain language. Real-time change order log. Budget tracking against contract value and contingency.
Consultant and Trade Coordination
Active management of consultant response timelines. Coordination of outstanding design issues before they become field conflicts.
Risk and Contract Management
Ongoing identification of potential claims, scope disputes, and contract exposure before they become formal positions.
Decision Support
Direct availability for ownership questions, urgent issues, and decisions that cannot wait for a scheduled meeting.
What you receive
- Monthly Owner Project Report (cost, schedule, risk, decisions, actions)
- Change order log maintained in real time
- Independent cost-to-complete tracking
- Risk register updated monthly
- Site visit reports
- Meeting minutes for all meetings attended
- End-of-phase project summaries
Engagement structure
Minimum three-month commitment. Month-to-month after that. BBC can be operational within two weeks of engagement.
Guarantee
If BBC is not delivering measurable value within the first 60 days, you can end the engagement with no obligation beyond the current month.
A note on cost
One unchallenged change order on a $15M project can cost more than six months of this engagement. One schedule flag missed in month three becomes a carrying cost problem in month seven. BBC's fee often pays for itself before the project is halfway through construction. That is a conservative estimate.
When the stakes are too high to leave leadership to chance.
BBC steps in and takes command.
Some projects reach a point where the gap between where they are and where they need to be cannot be closed with better reporting or a new process. The budget has deteriorated. The schedule is in crisis. The team has broken down. The ownership group has lost confidence in the information they are receiving and in the people delivering it.
Other projects are not yet in crisis, but carry enough complexity, scale, or delivery risk that experienced senior leadership needs to be embedded from preconstruction through closeout. Not a coordinator. Not a process manager. A construction operator who takes command of delivery at the level the engagement requires.
BBC's Project Rescue and Full Delivery Command engagement is built for both.
How it works
Phase One — Rapid Assessment & Stabilization (Weeks 1–2)
Comprehensive document review, independent site assessment and progress verification, identification of immediate risk exposures, and implementation of immediate controls. Daily briefings to ownership throughout.
Phase Two — Recovery Planning & Execution Setup (Weeks 3–4)
Detailed recovery plan with a realistic schedule and cost to complete. Contract position assessment. Contractor performance management framework. Stakeholder communication plan.
Phase Three — Command & Recovery Execution
Full construction oversight at increased intensity. Direct accountability for project delivery decisions. Weekly ownership briefings. Active claims management. Direct management of GC leadership.
Phase Four — Stabilization, Handover, or Closeout
Structured handover, closeout management, and final project reporting.
What you receive
- Two-week project assessment report (written and in person)
- 30-day recovery or delivery plan
- Weekly ownership reports during active recovery
- Full project controls suite
- Claims documentation and contract position papers
- Lender or third-party reporting where required
- Final closeout and handover package
Who this is for
Ownership groups whose project has materially deteriorated. Developers launching a major project who recognize the delivery risk. GCs who have lost a key project leader mid-delivery. Lenders, bonding companies, or trustees managing a project in distress.
On the cost of waiting
A project in active distress is losing money every day. Carrying costs, delay damages, contractor claims, and lender concerns accumulate simultaneously. BBC's engagement fee at this level is a fraction of what continued deterioration costs per month. The question is not whether you can afford to bring in senior leadership. It is whether you can afford not to.
