California's SB 440 Has Changed the Rules.
Are You Protected?

For the first time in California history, private construction owners face the same strict legal claims process that public agencies have dealt with for years — with penalties that can be swift, severe, and financially devastating.

Contractors — especially large, well-organized GCs — already know this law inside and out. They have legal teams, claim specialists, and scheduling experts ready to file the moment a dispute arises. Most private owners do not. That imbalance is exactly what SB 440 was designed to exploit — and it puts unprepared developers at serious financial risk.

24%
Annual interest penalty on unpaid undisputed amounts — that's 2% every single month
30
Days to respond in writing to a contractor claim — with a detailed forensic analysis
Stop
Work rights — contractors can legally halt your project if you fail to respond properly
Day 1
Documentation must begin — claims are won or lost by what you recorded from the start

What Organized Contractors Are Already Doing
Training their project managers on SB 440 claim procedures and deadlines
Building detailed CPM schedules designed to document every owner-caused delay
Retaining forensic scheduling experts ready to support claims the moment a dispute arises
Revising contract templates to maximize their claim rights under SB 440
Submitting certified mail claims within 60 days of every qualifying event — automatically
Tracking owner response deadlines and escalating to stop-work notices when owners miss them
"The playing field has shifted. Contractors with organized claims teams now have a significant legal advantage over unprepared owners. BCI levels that playing field — permanently."
— Soheil Barekat, Principal, BCI Management Group

About BCI

Built From the
Ground Up

BCI was founded on a rare combination: decades of hands-on field experience as a concrete foreman and superintendent, combined with executive-level project controls leadership managing some of the most complex, high-visibility construction programs in North America.

"We don't just manage paperwork. We understand how buildings are built — and we use that knowledge to protect our clients at every phase."

Based in Anaheim Hills, CA, BCI brings owner-side discipline to public agencies, private developers, and institutions across Southern California. Our principal has personally managed portfolios exceeding $400M annually, overseeing 1,200+ concurrent projects in some of the most operationally demanding environments imaginable — where delays have real, public consequences and there is no margin for error.

BCI also leverages proprietary schedule analysis technology developed in-house, enabling more precise delay attribution, forensic scheduling review, and faster claims analysis than traditional methods — giving our clients a decisive advantage when it matters most.
