BPGS 25th Anniversary: A Message from President Wesley Schwandt
February 27, 2025 4:01 pmFounded in February 1999, BPGS has provided a broad range of integrated preconstruction, construction, and development services throughout the Mid-Atlantic region. As our 25th anniversary comes to an end, Founder and President Wesley Schwandt shares a few words on what this milestone means for him and what the next 25 years looks like for BPGS.
“February marks the conclusion of our 25th anniversary year at BPGS Construction—a milestone that has given us the opportunity to reflect on our history, strategically outline our future, and celebrate our achievements, together as a team. Twenty-five years ago, I could never have imagined the level of growth and success BPGS has achieved today. What began as a small fit-out contractor with myself and Cole Flickinger, has evolved into a leading construction and development management firm in our region, now employing 75 of the most talented professionals in the industry and still growing.”
“Our team members—who feel as much like family as my own—are true leaders, both in the office and out in the field. Together, we have built a company founded on integrity, dedication, and innovation—one that is as committed to our clients as we are to each other. The entire BPGS team, selfless and humble almost to a fault, deserves immense recognition for reaching this incredible milestone. I could not be prouder of what we have accomplished together.
While the video above highlights impressive statistics, the true impact that BPGS has had over the past 25 years goes beyond numbers. With each new build, historic renovation, or commercial fit-out, we are shaping communities that will thrive for generations. BPGS has played a vital role in revitalizing cities across the country— starting in our hometown of Wilmington, Delaware—where residents build their lives, small businesses prosper, and corporations drive economic growth. More than anything, I take pride in knowing that each project we deliver is not only unique but also meaningful and enduring.
As we look to the future, our focus remains on thoughtful, strategic growth—ensuring that BPGS stays true to its mission. As our associates grow—both personally and professionally—so too will BPGS, strengthening our reputation as a best-in-class construction management firm.
Thank you to our clients, partners, subcontractors, friends, and family who have celebrated this incredible milestone with us this past year. 25 years would not be possible without your trust and collaboration, and we look forward to many more years of shared success to come!”
