Broaddus & Associates is one of the leading providers of facilities program management, consulting and planning services in the United States for owners who are planning and developing construction projects. Since our inception in 2000, Broaddus & Associates has completed or is currently managing over $14 billion in capital projects.
Our firm was founded by James A. Broaddus, Ph.D., P.E. Following a 20-year career as a U.S. Navy Civil Engineer Corps Officer and Seabee where he built facilities worldwide, Dr. Broaddus served as Associate Director of the Construction Industry Institute (CII), a national research center dedicated to improving quality and cost-effectiveness on construction projects. Combining his naval background in practical application and his CII research on Best Practices, Dr. Broaddus then served as Director of Facilities Planning and Construction for the 15-campus statewide University of Texas System from 1994-1998, where he was responsible for $1.4 billion of higher education facilities construction. During his subsequent tenure as CEO of Design-Build Institute of America, Dr. Broaddus recognized an acute need to assist owners in the management of complex, major capital construction programs.
Broaddus & Associates was founded because as clients, we saw the need for a firm to help manage complex projects. This owner-oriented philosophy is the reason all of our executives are involved and deeply committed to every project: we have walked in your shoes. Best Practices programs such as constructability, pre-project planning and partnering have been used in addition to alternate project delivery systems to effectively control budgets, compress schedules and create satisfied clients. The firm began in Austin, Texas, where it still maintains its corporate headquarters. Soon afterward, an office in Houston was opened to support our operations in the Texas Medical Center. This was the first of nine regional offices that would open over the course of the next 10 years. In this time, the company has expanded to include over 120 project professionals covering different regions and market sectors.
As an owner-oriented facilities program management and planning firm, we have capabilities that result in exceptional projects that are not only delivered on time and within budget, but also provide significant value to our clients. Our services include program and project management, master planning and programming, and consulting in the following primary markets: Healthcare, Higher Education, Disaster Recovery, Education K-12, Multi-Family & Student Housing, Local Government, First Responder Facilities, Athletic Facilities, and Laboratory/Research.
Our project management approach combines proven Best Practices project procedures with an exceptionally experienced staff. Our project professionals have an average of 25 years of experience serving as planners, project managers, estimators, schedulers, architects, engineers or contractors. This is augmented by a dedication to embracing those advances in our industry that can provide additional value to our clients, such as Building Information Modeling or sustainability initiatives. This combination of standard practices, new technology and unparalleled expertise enables us to customize our services to each project and produce superior results.
