Associates and technology partners
Work With Us
Independent schedulers, cost engineers and estimators extend our bench. Software vendors extend our toolkit. We want people who build defensible numbers and stand behind them.
Partner with us · 3 ways to work together
Clarity is a team sport.
No controls firm sees everything alone. Independent associates, software partners, co-pursuit firms and innovators sharpen every KonradBeck engagement, and we treat them like the team they are.
Partner groups
Three ways to work together.
Pick the path that fits your firm. Each one starts with a short conversation and a person on our side who reads what you send.
Joint pursuits and P3 advisory
Team With Us
Joint pursuits with engineering, CM and design firms, and controls advisory on public-private partnerships, where owners and lenders need an independent view of time and cost.
Technology and new methods
Innovate With Us
Forecasting models, schedule analytics and data tools that show a slipping program sooner. Test them on live controls work with our analysts.
Our standard
What we look for in a partner.
Size matters less than how you work. A bad number in a monthly report costs an owner more than a late one. Small firms with good habits grow with us.
01
Numbers you can defend
Logic-driven schedules, traceable estimates and forecasts with the assumptions written down. If you cannot explain it to a board, it is not ready.
02
Honest capacity
Take on the work you can staff. Tell us early when bandwidth, data or access is getting tight, before the data date passes.
03
Finish strong
Clean handoffs, complete backup files and documentation that the next analyst, auditor or expert can pick up and follow.

Partner questions.
Where do I start if I am not sure which path fits?
Email partnership@konradbeck.com with a short description of your firm and what you want to do. We will route it to the right person and reply with next steps.
Do I need to join the associate bench to work with you?
For individual and small-firm controls work, yes. The bench lets our engagement leads bring you onto programs with confidence. Software vendors use the technology partner path and techlicense@konradbeck.com instead.
Do you work with small and emerging firms?
Yes. Many roles are sized so independent specialists and growing firms can take them on, and the Rising Controls Professionals program offers mentoring for firms building their practice.
Which markets and regions do you need partners for?
All of them. We provide project controls across 22 markets in four sectors from our base in Newark, NJ, and much of the work can be delivered remotely.
