Leadership Team

CEO’s Message

Throughout our over 50 years of business, BBL has recognized that the most important asset of our organization is our group of highly dedicated and talented professionals. It is their expertise, commitment to quality and customer service that drive the success of our company. We are privileged and proud to say that dozens of our associates have been with BBL for more than 20 years.

Since our founding in 1973, BBL was one of the first construction services companies to embrace the Design-Build methodology which has become known today as Integrated Project Delivery. Our company values and performance have earned us a national reputation as a customer-focused Design-Builder, General Contractor, and professional Construction Manager. Repeat clients are a high percentage of our work program and this is a direct result of our commitment to quality and exceptional customer service.

BBL continues to carry on our founder, Don Led Duke’s legacy and the customer-centered culture he instilled in us all. “Do the right thing” is a consistent message carried throughout the company and we strive to achieve this every day.

– Kevin J. Gleason, CEO and Don Led Duke, Founder
