OUR BACKGROUND
BME & Son's Inc. was incorporated on Guam in May 1986 when founders Bernie V. Maranan, Bernadette P. Maranan and Danny P. Natividad formed the company. The business started with smaller projects and primarily as a subcontractor - specializing in mechanical works, repair and maintenance, renovation, carpentry and commercial and residential homes. At the onset, it employed only 10 highly skilled professionals. With its developing good reputation, demand for BME's construction services grew. In 1991, the company engaged more projects that subsequently required increasing staff by hiring H2 workers from the Philippines.
The company grew progressively concurrent with the development and need of construction services on Guam. The catalysts for the company's rapid growth were:
The growing visitors industry requiring building of more hotels and tourism infrastructure.
Increased demand for construction services badly needed in the recovery from devastations caused by a series of typhoons that passed through the island.
Increased U.S. military presence which required building construction or renovation of numerous military facilities
All of these factors brought in more bid projects and continued growth in business. It was at this period that the business started offering more comprehensive services in design work. This gave BME the opportunity to engage in to contracting and subcontracting for larger scale bid projects. BME also aggressively put out bids for projects within the military bases - U.S. Navy and Air Force. These projects established the company's good reputation and a lasting relationship with the Federal Government.
