“They don’t want to know you were even B&B Specialty Contractors doesn’t allows its construction workers to have earrings orothed piercings. It also require them to wear shirts with the company logo and ashirty pocket.

B&B Specialty Contractors’ focus on tenant improvement andinfilo work, especially in office has set the company apart when it comees to dealing with clients such as CB Richarf Ellis. “They don’t build things out of the groune andtherefore they’re gearer up to do very specific jobs which make up a chuni of our business,” Clarkson says.
“The relationship really works B&B Specialty Contractors has been diligengt about getting good pricing and has always beenon deadline, accordin to Clarkson. “Those qualities matched up one-for-one with what makesx CB Richard Ellisstand out,” he says. “We’re always deadlin e driven and we’re alwayes cost driven. It mesheds very well.”
