BUILDING

BOND Building is a premier full-service construction management and general contracting company delivering innovative solutions and collaborative client partnerships.
As a key area of expertise, we are focused on DEVELOPING THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION through the use of advanced technology and the construction of state-of-the-art facilities, utilizing creative and innovative strategy.
There’s nothing old school about it. We’ve been building innovative, world-class spaces and developing infrastructure for some of the most prestigious campuses in New England for more than a century.
Within the education sector, BOND Building’s focus goes far beyond a single project. We work closely with our college and university clients to gain a strong understanding of their long-range master plans so we can build facilities and create a framework that will support their institutional goals for years to come.
BOND Building thinks like an owner to develop studentcentered construction approaches with a laser focus on safety and minimizing disruption. Our dedication to the growth and development of academic campuses is a driving force that results in state-of-the-art learning, living and collaboration space for students across the Northeast.

We strive to be “cost stewards” for our clients...
Our Preconstruction Group, led by Greg Williamson, includes an expert team of building professionals with comprehensive backgrounds in creating detailed, accurate and reliable budgeting.
BOND Building adds immediate value to our clients through our smart planning exercises during preconstruction. Project planning decisions have the greatest impact on cost, schedule and quality. That’s why we take a “holistic approach” to preconstruction, evaluating the total impact of each decision. We consider each component – whether it’s constructability, cost evaluation, schedule impacts, or procurement strategies – and determine if the end result aligns with our client’s goals.
Our formula for success is simple. We combine advanced technology with a highly experienced Estimating Department to support a practical, efficient, affordable and buildable design. Our estimating systems and processes integrate with BIM software by extracting quantities from the model’s develop-
ing intelligence. We integrate Revit models with On Screen Take-Off (OST) to summarize our findings in WinEst and produce real time estimates. Digitized colored graphics in OST and graphics from the Revit model help to clarify and illustrate BOND Building’s assumptions and quantifications.
We strive to be “cost stewards” for our clients, acting as a partner to align project planning with financial goals. By listening to stakeholders involved – including owner, users and design teams – we can offer valuable insights that help our clients prioritize scope, allocate funds and achieve cost savings. By conducting comprehensive feasibility studies, we understand the cost drivers behind each project and offer creative solutions such as off-site prefabrication, alternative materials or sequencing, or market sensitive procurement strategies to realize best value.

This facility is a game-changer for Holy Cross, raising the profile of our athletics program and our entire institution. What we now have at Holy Cross exceeds the athletic facilities of so many of our peer institutions and even some of the top programs in the country in certain areas.
Academic Innovation Center
The Academic Innovation Center is a two-story, 48,290SF facility which includes an innovation forum, faculty space, break-out rooms, an admissions center and cross-functional classrooms for students in the College of Business and College of Arts and Sciences. The building is designed to offer unprecedented flexibility, with moveable tables, smart technology and light-filled collaborative spaces that promote experiential teaching and new learning modules.
The opening of the Academic Innovation Center is a strategic inflection point for Bryant University. We have created a world-class learning environment that aligns with Bryant’s bold future. This transformational, world-class facility will be a legacy for generations to come.
Joan & Edgar Booth Theatre
Boston University selected BOND Building to provide preconstruction and construction management services for the new Joan & Edgar Booth Theatre and Boston University Production Center. During an aggressive 15-month schedule, BOND Building constructed a 75,000 SF multi-functional facility, offering support spaces and design labs for teaching and producing student theatre. The new building features a two-level subsurface parking garage and adjoining parking lot, providing space for 286 vehicles.
A beautifully landscaped plaza on Commonwealth Avenue provides a welcoming focal point along with landscaped buffer zones along Essex and Dummer Streets.

Tata Hall
Sustainability was a central theme to Tata Hall’s design. A 37’ tall glass atrium is doubleskinned, providing a thermal blanket in cold weather and cooling convection in summer months. A rooftop, electricitygenerated photovoltaic array contributes to a 50% reduction in energy consumption and a 40% reduction in greenhouse gases. Other design choices reduce water consumption by 900,000 gallons per year.

Bristol Community College (BCC) offers over 150 programs including nursing, dental hygiene and life sciences. To serve the needs of its increasing student population, BCC required a new Health and Science Building equipped with leading technology. The new 50,600 SF facility is one of the largest Zero Net Energy (ZNE) science buildings in the region. It includes teaching laboratories, support spaces, offices and community spaces.
Throughout the design process, the team uncovered ways to eliminate the use of fossil fuels while increasing efficiency and dramatically reducing demand — three critical components of achieving ZNE.

With a goal to bring together the marine science activities of the University in one location, UMass Dartmouth decided to build a new, 64,500 SF facility. Closely collaborating with architect Ellenzweig and project manager Hill International, BOND Building provided preconstruction and construction management at-risk services for the new SMAST Building. The new facility supports the largest marine science program in the UMass System.

Arthur M. Sackler Building
BOND Building was selected to reconfigure and renovate studio and gallery space vacated by the Harvard Art Museums in the Sackler Building.
The project scope included life safety upgrades, accessibility upgrades, deferred maintenance, and regulated material abatement. Preservation was an integral part of this project for the following special features: entry lobby, main stair, gallery character, auditorium colonnade, and primary facades.
BOND Building’s Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) team played a critical role during this early stage. Laser scanning of both the interior and exterior of the building provided the design team with highly accurate Revit models of the existing building facade, structure, and other building systems.
