Team

Led from the inside.

BD-AEC isn't an agency with account managers. It's a practitioner who steps into your firm and runs business development the way a partner would.

Founder & Lead BD Director

Scott Mann

Scott Mann has spent 30+ years building relationships and winning work across the architecture, engineering, and construction industry. He founded BD-AEC to give principal-led AEC firms the one thing they rarely have time for: consistent, expert business development.

His background spans federal procurement and facility security (he holds FSO–DCSA training and an FAA Part 107 commercial drone certification), and he currently runs business development for four non-competing AEC firms along the I-75 corridor and beyond.

“The best business development strategy doesn't start with a pitch, it starts with trust, built by listening and understanding what really matters.”

Web & platform

Ramsey Deal

Ramsey Deal builds and runs the technology behind BD-AEC: the website, the local-SEO engine that ranks the practice market by market across the I-75 corridor, and the intelligence that tracks every lead from first click to signed engagement.

The goal is simple. A practice's digital presence should work as hard as its business development, so when an AEC firm goes looking, BD-AEC is already there.

Growing

Our team of BD Directors is growing

As BD-AEC scales, we bring on associates with deep AEC industry experience who share our relationship-first approach. Every BD Director we add holds to the same standard: embedded in the firms they serve, and never representing competitors in the same market.
