Brailsford & Dunlavey

Brailsford & Dunlavey www.bdconnect.com As catalysts for building community, we maximize value and mitigate risk for our clients every step of the way.

We take an idea, make it a viable project, and manage it through ribbon cutting and into operation. Our extensive portfolio, dedication to personalized client service, and commitment to excellence have earned us a reputation as a premier national program management firm overseeing billions of dollars in new construction and renovation projects. Our unique approach offers comprehensive services ran

ging from planning through implementation, and enables us to manage all areas of risk and maintain constant control of budget, schedule, and quality. B&D’s in-house planning services, including capital and operating financial analysis, market research, economic impact analysis, and programming, enable us to give us the ability to provide a level of insight and risk management far beyond what other program management firms can offer. Our Research and Methods team continually acquires and disseminates the most current and usable data on the facility types where we specialize, which helps our clients achieve their project goals. This body of knowledge, in turn, informs the breadth and depth of analysis we apply to every assignment. We place nationwide facility data such as utility costs, staffing levels, programming scope, and financial performance at our clients' fingertips. This unique approach guarantees that each new project plan for B&D’s clients benefits from the wisdom gained by the successes or lessons learned from previously implemented plans. We maintain a position of leadership in our industry by speaking at national conferences, publishing articles in industry publications, and serving as adjunct faculty at distinguished institutions of higher education. These activities ensure that we are current with all of the trends and requirements of today’s facilities. As a national company—with offices located in Atlanta, Austin, Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Columbus, Detroit, Irvine, New York, and Washington, D.C.—B&D features a client base in all 50 states. The firm is a wholly independent, minority-owned business. The Higher Ed P3 Resource Center—the industry’s go-to place for information on this dynamic market—is powered by Brailsford & Dunlavey.
