Success

The success of a project is dependent on clear concise documents, good project management, skillful engineering judgment, and precise communications with the client and other members of the design and construction teams. In short, quality and teamwork.

Team Approach

Quality work and innovative solutions are the cornerstones of any successful engineering firm. However, it is BCDC reputation for integrity, teamwork, and responsiveness that make us stand out. Our clients value these characteristics and have come to expect exceptional service when we are on the team. We approach each project with the commitment to help the project succeed. This means not only delivering safe and efficient structural systems, but also helping the other members of the team reach success. We do this by bringing our experience and inventiveness to the table early in the design process. Additionally, we proactively look for ways to improve coordination, and aid in developing solutions to problems that may arise in the field. In the end, BCDC's projects run smoother, and are successful for the entire team.

Office Family

Everyone at BCDC strives to create an enjoyable work environment. This is accomplished from the top down within our firm. The principals understand that within our industry it is important to encourage a collaborative, supportive and family atmosphere. Sporting events, office game nights, and office happy hours are just some of the company sponsored events that the employees of BCDC enjoy. A number of times each year, office improvement contests are held, where the employees submit their ideas for how the company can improve, and meetings are held to discuss the results.
