About Us

We Develop & Build Trust

Our Why

Communities don’t fail. Systems fail them.

Jason Saunders founded BHI because he saw firsthand how underdeveloped neighborhoods in Baltimore and Washington, DC, were left behind, not by choice but by design.

As an engineer, he knew the problem was not just crumbling infrastructure but also the lack of opportunity, investment, and long-term vision.

BHI is a force for change, bringing together experts who believe that rebuilding communities is not just about fixing what is broken but about creating something better and lasting.

Our Value

Smart Solutions, Strong Communities

Our clients trust us. That’s why they continue to partner with BHI, project after project. They count on us to deliver smart, cost-effective solutions that keep developments on time, on budget, and built to last.

But more than that, they know we care about the people behind every project. We build spaces that bring communities together and create real opportunities.
