BAM Construction & Development

What BAM Construction & Development does

BAM Construction & Development (legal entity BAM LLC) is a wireless telecommunications infrastructure construction company headquartered in Wixom, Michigan. Founded in 2017 as the construction arm of the SMJ family of companies, BAM provides four core service lines: tower construction (raw land sites and self-support towers up to 250 feet), small cell and Distributed Antenna System (DAS) deployment, fiber optic infrastructure installation, and wireless equipment installation (antenna mounts, surge arrestors, transmission lines, tower-mounted amplifiers). Together with sister companies SMJ International, LAB Architects, and SES Engineering, BAM delivers full turnkey site development covering site acquisition, architecture, engineering, and construction.

The company holds approved vendor status with all four major U.S. wireless carriers (Sprint, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) and all major tower companies, including American Tower, as well as OEMs and turf contractors. Revenue is generated through project-based construction contracts awarded under these approved vendor relationships, with services priced on a per-project negotiated basis. The company operates from its Wixom headquarters with project offices across the U.S. and holds licensing for Canada, and is currently executing carrier add projects in Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio alongside a 5-state joint venture for 250 small cell sites and 500+ cumulative microwave path installations.

The leadership team consists of four principals: Jamie M. Abbgy (site acquisition and legal), Lee Burlison (real estate and zoning), David Brown (formerly National Director of Services Strategy at American Tower, with 20 years in wireless telecom), and Mike Mink (13+ years of tower construction, having installed and managed 500+ MW paths). BAM is privately held with no disclosed external institutional investment.
