California's SB 440 Has Changed the Rules.
Are You Protected?

For the first time in California history, private construction owners face the same strict legal claims process that public agencies have dealt with for years — with penalties that can be swift, severe, and financially devastating.

Contractors — especially large, well-organized GCs — already know this law inside and out. They have legal teams, claim specialists, and scheduling experts ready to file the moment a dispute arises. Most private owners do not. That imbalance puts unprepared developers at serious financial risk.

24%
Annual interest penalty on unpaid undisputed amounts — that's 2% every single month
30
Days to respond in writing to a contractor claim — with a detailed forensic analysis
Stop
Work rights — contractors can legally halt your project if you fail to respond properly
Day 1
Documentation must begin — claims are won or lost by what you recorded from the start

What Organized Contractors Are Already Doing
Training their project managers on SB 440 claim procedures and deadlines
Building detailed CPM schedules designed to document every owner-caused delay
Retaining forensic scheduling experts ready to support claims the moment a dispute arises
Revising contract templates to maximize their claim rights under SB 440
Submitting certified mail claims within 60 days of every qualifying event — automatically
Tracking owner response deadlines and escalating to stop-work notices when owners miss them
"The playing field has shifted. Contractors with organized claims teams now have a significant legal advantage over unprepared owners. BCI levels that playing field — permanently."
— Soheil Barekat, Principal, BCI Management Group

CPM Schedules That
Get Approved

Public owners reject schedules that miss the spec, and every rejection costs you time and money. BCI builds and maintains your schedule to the letter of the contract, so your team can focus on building.

01
Bid-Day Support
Fast, fixed-price quotes for the scheduling scope on public bids. We read the scheduling spec, flag cost and time risks, and can provide a preliminary schedule or phasing narrative for your proposal.

Baseline Schedules
Primavera P6 baselines written to Section 01 32 16 / 01 32 13, Caltrans Section 8-1.02 (Level 2 and 3), and agency-specific scheduling specs. Resource- and cost-loaded when required, ready to submit on the first pass.

About BCI

Built From the
Ground Up

BCI was founded on a rare combination: decades of hands-on field experience as a concrete foreman and superintendent, combined with executive-level project controls leadership managing some of the most complex, high-visibility construction programs in North America.

"We don't just manage paperwork. We understand how buildings are built — and we use that knowledge to protect our clients at every phase."

Based in Anaheim Hills, CA, BCI brings disciplined project controls to public agencies, private developers, institutions, and general contractors across Southern California. Our principal has personally managed portfolios exceeding $400M annually, overseeing 1,200+ concurrent projects in some of the most operationally demanding environments imaginable — where delays have real, public consequences and there is no margin for error.

BCI also leverages proprietary schedule analysis technology developed in-house, enabling more precise delay attribution, forensic scheduling review, and faster claims analysis than traditional methods — giving our clients a decisive advantage when it matters most.
