BUILD BICK

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.

For me, success begins long before construction starts - with trust, solutions, and a solid pre-construction process that sets the course for quality, time, and cost certainty.
