BIG’s Advisory Board: Shaping the Future of Construction

The Industry is Changing—BIG is Leading the Way

The construction industry is at a turning point. With 25% of the workforce set to retire in the coming years (HBR,2025), businesses face a potential knowledge gap that could disrupt projects, slow down progress, and increase costs. BIG Construction isn’t waiting for these challenges to arrive—we’re building a smarter, more resilient future now.

The BIG Solution: Strategic Leadership for Long-Term Success

To ensure continued innovation, efficiency, and expertise, we’ve established an Advisory Board of industry leaders. This team of seasoned professionals—spanning engineering, real estate, and finance—brings invaluable strategic insight to help us scale smarter, adapt faster, and make decisions that drive success for our clients.

A Blueprint for the Future

Traditionally, firms have relied on long-standing employees to pass down knowledge informally. BIG is taking a different approach. By curating a team of top-tier experts, we’re establishing a model that ensures continuity, scalability, and strategic foresight. This is the new standard for how construction companies can future-proof expertise.

Innovation at Scale

BIG is applying a startup mindset to an industry known for slow adaptation. Our Advisory Board is not just a passive group of advisors—it’s an engaged network actively shaping our biggest decisions. This is what agility looks like in construction, ensuring our clients always have a partner who is ahead of the curve.

The Right People Make All the Difference

Scaling a company fivefold in five years requires more than just ambition—it takes the right guidance. With our Advisory Board, we are sharpening our strategy, expanding into new markets, and executing at the highest level to ensure our clients receive the best possible outcomes.

Built for What’s Next

BIG isn’t here to follow industry trends—we’re here to redefine them. As we continue to grow, we will challenge traditional models, bring in the best talent, and prove that construction can be faster, more strategic, and more innovative. The BIG Advisory Board is just the beginning of a bold new chapter.

Join Us on the Journey

With a rapidly evolving workforce and shifting industry dynamics, having a strategic partner is more critical than ever. BIG Construction is committed to ensuring that our clients stay ahead, no matter what the future holds.

This is the next step in our evolution—but it’s far from the last. Stay connected and watch as we continue to build the future of construction, one strategic decision at a time.
