B&B
Advisory Board

Judgment from every seat at the table.

Every referral B&B makes is backed by advisors who've actually done the work — across ownership, general contracting, architecture, engineering, finance, and construction technology. That range is what keeps the network's standard honest.

Leadership

The person behind the referral.

Chase Book, Part Owner & CEO of B&B

Chase Book

Part Owner & CEO

Chase built his career at the intersection of construction technology and sales — giving him a firsthand view of where developers, GCs, and subcontractors lose trust in each other, and what it takes to rebuild it. That perspective is the foundation B&B is run on.

He leans on a small circle of advisors he trusts completely: his father, Brad Book, Owner & Founder of Mountaineer Development and Lakeway Homes; and lifelong family friend Jose Raul, former owner and operator of one of Florida's largest general contracting firms. Both bring decades of on-the-ground judgment to every introduction B&B makes.

Alongside them sit relationships Chase has built over his own years in the industry — leaders who round out the network's perspective across association leadership, capital, and technology.

Off the clock, Chase is an avid sports fan and a committed foodie — which tends to become part of the membership experience. Spend time in the B&B network, and plan on a game or two, and a few of his favorite local restaurants along the way.
