Project Delivery Methods

Construction Management

01

With Construction Management, we join the project during design to guide decisions on systems, materials, and sequencing—keeping your project on budget and on schedule. You get open-book pricing, competitive bidding, and ongoing communication, while we oversee all trades and schedules and manage the risk so you can focus on your priorities.

Design-Build

02

With Design-Build, you work with one integrated team from the start—design and construction under one contract—so decisions move faster and stay aligned. You set the budget up front, and we shape the design to match it while validating costs along the way. You get a streamlined process, clear accountability, and proactive communication, while we coordinate the team and manage the risk so you can stay focused on your priorities.

to Your Project

The BD Approach

Planning & Project Development

03

Before the first stake is set, smart projects start by confirming the right building in the right place—through a feasibility study for public work or a cost analysis for private projects.

Community Bond Education

05

When a project depends on public buy-in—like a bond vote—your community’s voice matters most. We equip your team with a proven campaign roadmap, tools, and behind-the-scenes coordination shaped by years of successful efforts, so local leaders can show up confidently and authentically. You build trust through clear, factual communication, while we handle the details that keep everything moving.

Hear it from our customers

Howard County Medical Center had been trying to promote and achieve a new lab project for at least five years. My task as the CEO of the facility was to partner with a company that understood our needs as a healthcare facility but was also aware that we needed to stay within a very strict budget. BD Construction worked with us from the very beginning to help with local infrastructure roadblocks and the onset of winter weather. Mike and Dennis led the way from the beginning and enlisted Grant as our architect. This collaboration worked perfect in getting our team on the same page and making sure we had what we needed. Once construction started, our on-site supervisor, Jeff, was there every day making sure the job was done correctly and on time. He always made sure the work site was clean and that we could do business as usual. In the end we finished on time and under budget. I will use BD for my next project and would welcome anyone that is considering using their services to call me and let me elaborate on what a GREAT job they did.

BD Construction has been fantastic in supervising this [remodel, new kitchen, wrestling practice room and gymnasium] project, completing the project on time and under budget, despite the difficulties of remodeling while school continued in the building. The project superintendent provided quality workmanship, was great to work with and communicated and worked well with our staff in solving problems as they developed. BD has represented Ord Public Schools very well throughout this project. We feel that they are part of our family and always represent us in a fair, but firm, manner.

While the financial stakes are high for both the client and business, BD always made it clear that they were there for Perkins County Schools. When construction starts, multiple contractors can be involved, each bringing their own caliber of performance. Additionally, construction always brings its own set of challenges to overcome that are often outside of anyone’s control. BD and their construction manager, were, and continue to be, an advocate for us as a client. This includes making sure that bids and pricing were in line with industry standards to ensuring that contractors complete work to specifications, and then holding those accountable who do not meet those standards. What I really appreciated about BD in the area of advocacy was that when they saw an opportunity to save dollars, either in product or a redesign, they shared this with me and I was allowed to make an informed and fiscally-responsible decision.
