Mentoring
Laland Baptiste is proud to offer Construction Management Mentoring Services for minority, woman-owned, and small business enterprises (MWSBEs) interested in doing business with public agencies.
We know how challenging it can be to start and run a business and navigate the proposal drafting and submission processes. Through our mentoring services, we help to ensure that talented companies learn the processes needed to run a successful business while also completing projects to Client standards.
Since 2016, we have served as Construction Managers mentoring contractors within the NYC School Construction Authority Mentor Program.
We have worked on over 150 individual projects, mentoring MWSBEs by overseeing and coordinating superintendents, project managers, office engineers, accounting work, and a host of other tasks. These projects have ranged from the building of new classrooms, gymnasiums, auditoriums, interior and millwork, new doors, new lighting and ceiling grid systems, HVAC and ductwork, playground and athletic field construction, and many other school improvement projects.
Since 2021, as the lead Construction Manager, we have mentored and provided Construction Management services to local contractors enrolled in the New York City Department of Design and Construction Mentoring Program. Our projects have included structural improvements, façade restoration and window replacement, electrical and HVAC restoration, generator and boiler replacement, sidewalk improvements, and restorations of various complexes.
