Project Management

Project Planning	As the Navy says, "Plan the Dive then Dive the plan." To cite again "Most don't plan to fail, they fail to plan." BLT runs projects with the same meticulous discipline with which we approach design: As thoroughly as practical.
Over Communication	Rather than risk quality or schedule because of too little communication, BLT strives to slightly over-communicate with our Clients and within each design team.
Risk Management and Mitigation	The process of risk identification runs parallel with every planning and scheduling effort at BLT. We constantly ask: "What could prevent 'this' from taking place as planned?"
Daily Operations	BLT encourages free and open communication both internally and with Clients combined with active solicitation of ideas from others.
Formal Reporting	Weekly emailed status reports are the cornerstone of formal reporting. They document what project participants already know from active and ongoing communications. There are no surprises. Notice a theme here? We hope so.
Engineering Checklist	Going on its 14th year and hundreds of designs, BLT's proprietary design checklist continues to help BLT's Clients to avoid common mistakes that can add days, weeks or months to a schedule.
Design Security	Design Files are protected from loss and unauthorized access via a multi-tiered security process.
Client Confidentiality	Client confidentiality is rigorously protected at BLT. "Keeping our Client's Secrets" is a long-standing facet of our business.
