4b Technology Group

4b Technology Group provides independent technology consulting for complex construction projects across the United States, focusing on the design of IT, audiovisual, and security systems rather than their installation. Founded in Houston in 2002 by Terry Basford, the firm operates as a women-led practice built around staff holding credentials from BICSI, AVIXA, and other technology industry bodies.

The firm's role centers on programming, design, and planning, leaving physical installation to contractors and integrators. Work begins early, with 4b Technology Group partnering alongside architectural teams during the RFQ process, then coordinating technology systems with the architectural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing disciplines already engaged on a project. Designs are documented for constructibility, giving installers and integrators plans meant to translate directly into fieldwork.

Involvement does not end at design handoff. Through construction, the firm reviews submittals, responds to RFIs, and conducts site observations to keep systems coordinated as building work progresses. Recent activity includes expanding its RCDD-certified staff with three new designations and taking on a major terminal expansion project in the Southwest aviation sector, pointing to continued engagement with large, technology-dense construction work.
