about

 In 1979, Barbara Inc. was founded as a company providing general construction services.

In 1985, in response to changing market conditions and client requests, the BHDS Group was founded, a firm providing professional construction management services as an owner’s representative for many of its existing clientele.

By leveraging our strong understanding of the A/E and construction industry along with practical experience and comprehensive skills in all areas of planning, design, and construction, the BHDS Group has been able to provide a value-added service for its clients' national and international construction needs.

As an owner's representative, the BHDS Group is committed to provide each project with leadership guided by the principles of trust, transparent processes, effective collaboration, and the skill and expertise required to reduce the owners' risk and deliver construction projects on-time, within budget, and with complete client satisfaction. 

 As Principal-in-Charge, Lawrence Barbara is actively involved in all aspects of business on a daily basis and brings more than 50 years of professional experience in planning, design, and construction of unique projects and purposeful architecture.

His early work in national and international construction and commercial real estate development has formed the basis of his leadership skills and extensive knowledge in the management of cost, time, scope, and quality.
