B&B Contractors & Developers

What B&B Contractors & Developers does

B&B Contractors & Developers, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned general contracting firm headquartered in Youngstown, Ohio. Founded in 1954 by siblings Fred, Frank, Helen, and Ida Beshara, the company is now in its third generation of ownership and leadership. It delivers commercial and industrial construction services across both public and private sectors, operating in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, and Michigan.

The firm's core offering is general contracting with significant self-perform capability across site layout, excavation, site and structural concrete, demolition, and carpentry, executed by skilled union workers. Project types highlighted on company materials include fire stations, amphitheaters, educational facilities, HomeGoods retail stores, and other commercial or industrial facilities. The company positions itself as a single-source solution, coordinating end-to-end project delivery and management rather than relying on subcontractors for these critical trades.

Revenue is generated through project-based general contracting engagements, with pricing determined per project via competitive bidding, RFPs, and direct negotiation — typical for the construction sector and not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is an enterprise/field-sales motion targeting municipal, county, and state government buyers as well as private commercial/industrial clients. Distribution relies on direct client relationships and reputation within a six-state regional footprint; a LinkedIn and Facebook presence supplements but does not replace the traditional bidding-led sales process.
