Who We Are

BPA is a group of 20 professionals who provide our clients with hands-on, personalized service unique to small firms. By eliminating intermediate management layers, BPA has created a company with a lateral structure in which all project team members are given the opportunity to participate in all aspects of a project. One of the four principals oversees each project to expedite communication, ensure quality control, and maintain client satisfaction. The organizational strategies enhance the firm’s flexibility and responsiveness. The result is an efficient operation that can design and execute the optimal solution on budget and on schedule. This combination of teamwork and leadership create a spirit of group responsibility and dedication within the firm.
