CBI, LLC. doesn't just fill roles. For more than 35 years, we've helped general contractors, specialty contractors, and developers build the leadership bench — and the succession plans — that let them grow with confidence.
A bad leadership hire costs more than a search fee — it costs schedule, morale, and client trust. We take the time to understand a company's culture, needs, and growth trajectory before we ever go to market. That approach is why clients come back to us search after search, year after year.
Retained search for C-suite and senior leadership roles where confidentiality and depth of process matter most — full market mapping, direct outreach, and hands-on management through offer and close.
Contingency search for project executives, project managers, superintendents, and estimators — built on 35 years of relationships across New England and Florida's construction markets.
Planning for what's next at the top. We help ownership and boards think through timing, internal readiness, and external options well before a transition becomes urgent.
"Michael has handled specific search assignments for us for over 20 years. He is exceptional in understanding the needs of the client and matching candidates to those needs. Many recruiters focus on quantity over quality. Michael is just the opposite. I would highly recommend him for anyone needing an executive search."

"Michael has helped me target several specific candidates for our organization. He initially spent as much time interviewing my team as he did potential candidates in an effort to understand our culture and exactly who we were looking for. Michael is a gentleman and is passionate about his craft. I am thankful to have Michael on our team and look forward to many more years of working together."
