Brailsford & Dunlavey, a Bernhard Capital Partners portfolio company, and Project Management Advisors announced a merger, bringing together two nationally recognized leaders in program management and real estate advisory services to form an integrated, scalable platform with broader capabilities across project lifecycles.
Together, the firms offer a comprehensive suite of services spanning strategic planning and advisory, project leadership and delivery, owner’s representation and operations consulting for social and institutional infrastructure clients and large asset owners. By merging its teams and capabilities, the firms expand geographic reach and sector depth across higher education, healthcare, life sciences, technology, K-12 schools, civic and municipal projects, sports venues, hospitality, residential and innovative solutions for energy infrastructure challenges.
The combined organization includes more than 450 professionals serving clients nationwide from offices in major U.S. markets, including Northern and Southern California, Austin, Chicago, Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa, Washington, D.C., and New York. Based on the 2025 Engineering News-Record Top Program Management Firms list, the merged firm would rank within the top 20 nationally. Both brands will remain visible during integration, and existing teams, services and active projects will not be impacted.
This announcement follows B&D’s 2024 partnership with Bernhard Capital Partners, a services- and infrastructure-focused private equity firm that invests in platforms with strong fundamentals and growth potential. BCP’s support strengthens the merged firm’s ability to expand capabilities, invest in technology and grow its national footprint.
