B&G Consultants were instrumental in ensuring the successful on-time and on-budget completion of our global HQ and threat research center. The value of B&G went far beyond simply managing the project. They acted as a real partner to iboss and were genuinely focused on our best interests throughout the project from soup to nuts. The amount of time, stress and cost overruns we were able to avoid was priceless. We were so satisfied we engaged them for additional projects, where they delivered again beyond expectations.

"We have partnered with B&G Consultants on two successful major building projects on campus. Phase I was for two-story and three-story classroom buildings over an underground parking structure, and Phase II was for a multi-level gymnasium and activities center. They provided invaluable guidance throughout the processes, including selection of architects and general contractors, creation and tracking of project budgets, and ongoing construction management. I highly recommend B&G Consultants."

"The design and construction of a new sanctuary and social hall for Temple Emanuel in San Diego was a great success due to the participation and efforts of B&G Consultants. Their management skills kept the project on budget and on schedule. Also, their presence created a climate of calm, professionalism, trust, and the ability to resolve difficult issues as they occurred."

Their dedication and professionalism ensured the project goals throughout the process remained a first priority. I look forward to the opportunity to work again with B&G."
