Who We Are
BWF Consulting Group is a Chicago-based, minority and woman-owned owner’s representative firm helping businesses and organizations navigate real estate, construction, compliance, and facility decisions with clarity.
A trusted advocate between your goals and the built environment.
BWF Consulting Group was founded on a simple belief: business owners should not have to navigate the complexities of construction alone.
We are not just project managers. We are a strategic owner’s representative team combining the technical precision of engineering with the practical foresight of real estate execution. With over 40 years of combined experience and $150M+ in portfolio history, we guide clients through the critical phase where a physical space moves from an idea into a fully operational, compliant business environment.
From early planning and site evaluation to construction oversight and final handover, we work to protect your interests, reduce risk, and keep every decision aligned with your long-term goals.

projects that create opportunity.
