Critical Path Project Development Schedule :
Much like a good Contractor, BLM utilizes a Critical Path Project Development Schedule to incorporate funding
and approval timelines, immediately adjusting as information becomes available. The effective management of
outcomes continues through construction all the way to closeout by immediately responding to the field’s need for
information, clarifications and action.
We see our role as a collaborator with the construction team to create a final project that truly meets and addresses the
hopes and dreams of the Owner and users.

Sustainable Development
BLM is committed to quality, sustainable building and
construction that strengthen our communities through economic
stimulus as well as the usefulness and functionality of the projects
being completed. While our primary objective is to utilize our
extensive expertise to provide our clients with exceptional
construction management services, a secondary concern of
BLM is to be a responsible business citizen of Connecticut and
provide pathways to employment on job skill development for
disadvantaged communities and Minorities - including women.
This commitment also includes the utilization of best practices
in community development in conjunction with our community
leaders and organizations.
In order to advance this commitment to helping to create a more sustainable local economy, BLM will partner with
community service organizations and workforce development agencies in order to recruit individuals interested in
skill development.
BLM is also committed to hiring minority owned businesses, where possible, in order to provide economic
opportunities while simultaneously ensuring the highest standards of quality and efficiency from all contractors
involved.
