Beacon Group

What Beacon Group does

Beacon Group LLC is a privately held professional consulting firm headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia, with a second office in Denver, Colorado. The firm specializes in construction and government contracting consulting, providing four integrated service lines: damages analysis and expert testimony, CPM schedule delay analysis, litigation support, and project management and claims avoidance. Its multi-disciplinary team offers expertise in scheduling and critical path method (CPM) analysis, forensic accounting, financial damages quantification, earned value management (EVM), and data analytics.

Beacon serves both government and commercial clients through direct consulting engagements on domestic and international projects. Primary verticals include Government Contracts, Construction, Defense & Aerospace, and Energy & Utilities, with engagement work appearing in venues such as the Court of Federal Claims (CFC) and the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA). The firm is led by five Managing Directors — Ted Lunsford, John McGrath, Eric Schaeb, Kevin Schambach, and Daniel Bennett — and operates with a professional services billing model on a project engagement basis. For unique client needs, Beacon partners with a network of affiliated experts drawn from academia, industry, and government.

The firm maintains a relatively low public profile: its website content is dated to 2019, there is no disclosed revenue, no funding history, no certifications or awards, and no public-facing marketing beyond its corporate website. Marketing is primarily driven by referrals from legal professionals and direct outreach through professional contacts, and the company is independently owned and operated by its professional staff with no disclosed institutional or private equity backing.
