Brailsford & Dunlavey is a program management firm that guides clients from strategic planning through implementation. Since the firm’s founding in 1993, we have focused on the PK-12 schools, colleges, universities, and cultural and civic facilities that represent the anchors of the nation’s communities. With a keen understanding of the full spectrum of development, we empower our clients to identify and prioritize their objectives and define plans that we then help deliver in the built environment. Our value management approach is designed to minimize the four primary types of risk associated with facility development projects—revenue, financing, capital cost, and operating cost—while consistently maintaining a focus on our client’s mission as the overriding determinant of project priorities.

Mission: Our mission is to make our clients the strongest owners possible throughout the development process. B&D’s services respond to the ultimate sources of wisdom in any building project: the owner and the end-users. Only the owner is vested with the most intimate knowledge of its own values and objectives and, thus, with the right to determine project priorities. Only the users fully understand the performance needs of a facility and the characteristics essential to the project’s success.
