Our History
Established in 2000 in Austin, Texas, the company is headed by its founder, President and CEO James A. Broaddus, Ph.D., P.E. Since inception, the firm has grown to include 120 professionals providing project management and planning services on projects across the nation.
Following a 20-year career as a U.S. Navy Civil Engineer Corps Officer and Seabee, constructing facilities on coasts across the globe, Dr. Broaddus served as Associate Director of the Construction Industry Institute (CII), a national research center dedicated to improving quality and cost-effectiveness on construction projects.
Combining his naval background in practical application and his CII research on “Best Practices,” Dr. Broaddus then served as Director of Facilities Planning and Construction for the 15-campus statewide University of Texas System from 1994-1998, where he was responsible for $1.4 billion of higher education facilities construction. During his subsequent tenure as CEO of Design-Build Institute of America, Dr. Broaddus recognized an acute need to assist owners in the management of complex, major capital construction programs.
Broaddus & Associates was established to focus on serving these owners. “Best Practice” programs such as constructability, pre-project planning, and partnering have been used in addition to alternate project delivery systems to effectively control budgets, compress schedules, and create satisfied clients.
