Today's '''Becker & Frondorf''' is neither a large corporation nor a sole proprietor—we are '''a diverse team of industry veterans whose collective expertise and proactive management style allow us to deliver extraordinary client experiences and transformative projects'''.
'''Becker & Frondorf''' introduces itself using the phrase "project management + cost estimating" and gives the following descriptive information:<blockquote>''Project Management''<br><br>We help you navigate a complex process by bringing leadership, experience, and collaboration to your important construction project. </blockquote><blockquote>As the Owner’s Representative, we advocate on your behalf and lead the project team towards success.<br>As an extension of the owner’s staff, we provide comprehensive Project Management for all project teams to achieve maximum value for each dollar expended.<br>Our innovative methodology encourages designers, contractors, and vendors to actively engage and collaborate with each other to achieve the owners’ quality, cost, and schedule objectives. We are the conductor of this orchestra. ...<br><br>''Cost Estimating''<br><br>Our cost consulting approach includes an ongoing working relationship with the project team. In this way our Cost Estimators continuously monitor design decisions that affect cost, and inform the project team of the impact of such decisions at the earliest possible time. In addition, we make every effort to understand the project design intent in order to foresee cost implications, rather than simply to react to a finished design. Of course, we provide comprehensive Pre-construction Cost Estimates at specific milestones such as Schematic Design or Design Development.<br><br>We anticipate construction cost items that are not necessarily shown on early design drawings. All of our estimates are based on quantity survey, at least to the level of detail consistent with the documents. Because we work so closely with the project team, and because of our technical expertise, we include costs for building elements even if they have not yet been drawn. ...<br><br>We offer each of our clients a record of service and accuracy. Perhaps the best evidence of the success of our approach is our extraordinary number of repeat clients.</blockquote>

Our size gives us the flexibility to tackle a wide range of projects over a big footprint.</blockquote>
