History
MBP was founded in 1989 by Frank McDonough, Charlie Bolyard and Blake Peck, three engineers who shared the vision of building a professional construction management consulting company based on six core values:
- We Value Teamwork
- We Deliver Quality
- We Are Hard Working
- We Act with Integrity
- We Care About Our Community
- We Are Forward Looking
MBP continues today, as it was at its founding, being dedicated to helping construction industry clients to enhance the quality of their projects while building on schedule and within budget.
Since 1989, the MBP Team, its client base and resources have all steadily grown. Today it is well established, with multiple offices serving clients throughout the United States and overseas.
Engineering News-Record has consistently ranked MBP one of the Top 100 Construction Management firms in the country. MBP has also been recognized repeatedly by the Society for Human Resource Management among the Top 25 Best Places to Work nationwide.
