About BUILD BICK
Technical clarity, cooperative execution, secured success.
Our Approach
At BUILD BICK, we see ourselves as your partner, not just a service provider. As an independent construction consulting firm located in Alberta, we combine the precision and structured methods of German engineering with a clear understanding of the Canadian construction market. The result: reliable, efficient, and client-focused consulting that safeguards your project across cost, schedule, and quality.
What sets us apart is our cooperative approach: we bring owners, general contractors, and subcontractors to the same table, align goals, and ensure transparency across all levels. By creating shared understanding and joint priorities, we prevent disputes before they arise and turn fragmented project teams into one coordinated unit.
Our specialization lies in construction procurement – the foundation of every successful project. From transparent tendering and clear contracts to technical clarification and comparable bids, we set the course for stability and predictability. This structured approach continues seamlessly into execution, where we support you with (sub)contractor management, change management and strategic project advisory.
By applying structured, transparent and cooperative processes, we reduce risks, stabilize costs, and ensure contractual clarity. Defined scopes and early planning minimize delays, strengthen supply chains, and secure quality. At every stage, our methods are tailored to your project and your goals, ensuring measurable results and long-term success.

Our Core Principles
At BUILD BICK, we see construction projects as a true team effort. Our work goes beyond traditional consulting: we create cooperation at eye level between project owners, general contractors, and subcontractors. This ensures that everyone shares the same project goals, interfaces are clearly defined, and decisions are made transparently. Our cooperative approach runs through everything we do – from procurement and tendering to technical clarification and change management. It is what sets us apart and ensures that projects are driven not by disputes and claims, but by clarity, stability, and collective success.
Client-first through Cooperation
We act in the best interest of our clients by creating alignment across all stakeholders. By ensuring that owners, general contractors, and subcontractors share the same project goals, we protect our client’s priorities through collaboration – not confrontation.
Tailored, Integrated strategies
No two projects are alike. We adapt procurement methods, technical clarification, and change management to the project’s unique size and complexity. Our strategies not only fit the project but also integrate all stakeholders to achieve collective success.
Transparency across the Project
We foster open communication and full clarity for all parties involved. From goals and priorities to risks and timelines, everything is structured and visible – so decisions are made on facts, and everyone knows where the project stands at any time.
Value through stability and prevention
We focus on predictable outcomes: cost stability, realistic schedules, and secured quality. By aligning all parties and addressing issues proactively, we minimize disputes, prevent costly claims, and create sustainable value for the entire project team.
The costs of not acting
Many ask what it costs to work with BUILD BICK. But the real question is: What does it cost if you don’t?
20–30% higher project costs
through avoidable claims, change orders, and scope conflicts
Delays and penalties
caused by unclear scopes, missing technical clarification, or unprepared subcontractors
Escalating disputes
that consume management time, legal fees, and damage relationships
Unstable budgets
due to non-comparable offers and poorly defined contract terms
Quality issues
that require costly rework or compromise project acceptance
Loss of credibility
with owners, investors, or partners when timelines slip or disputes dominate
Because construction success is never a coincidence.
Meet the Founder
My name is Laura Bickendorff and I’m the founder of BUILD BICK. I’m a qualified civil engineer with a background in construction management and specialized expertise in procurement, technical clarification, and change management.
From the very beginning of my career, I have focused on one clear mission: to transform complex construction projects into predictable, transparent, and value-driven outcomes. With BUILD BICK, this mission continues — strengthened by structured methods, proven experience, and a collaborative mindset.
Working closely with general contractors, subcontractors, and project owners has consistently given me insight into the challenges on all sides of a project. Time and again, unclear priorities and fragmented communication have shown how easily disputes, delays, and rising costs can occur. This is exactly where BUILD BICK steps in: creating shared understanding, aligning stakeholders, and ensuring that everyone works toward one common goal.
The result is more than stable costs and reliable schedules – it is the AHA moment when owners, contractors, and subcontractors realize how much smoother, more productive, and even enjoyable a project becomes when collaboration and clarity replace confrontation and uncertainty.
Our Commitment to Quality
At BUILD BICK, we are committed to delivering the highest standards of quality in construction consulting and our products. Our approach is rooted in the principles of transparency, integrity, and client focus. We believe in building long-term relationships with our clients, based on trust and mutual respect.
