Service delivery is built around cross-office project teams assembled per engagement under a lead planner.

BFVT is a private limited company (Kft.) that has been 100% owned by Budapest Főváros Önkormányzata (Municipality of Budapest) since October 3, 2012, operating as an in-house municipal planning vehicle. Its go-to-market is B2G, with revenue derived from public procurement contracts awarded by Hungarian municipalities and government entities; no public pricing exists. The firm serves Budapest, its metropolitan surroundings, and other Hungarian regions, and collaborates with external specialist consultancies on niche tasks outside its core competencies.
