Bradley had some business ideas, but then an unexpected opportunity knocked. She was living in Columbia housing and the superintendent for her building came to fix something in her apartment. He asked her for help. The company he worked for had gone belly up and he would lose his job.
But all was not right. DBC's books didn't look right to Bradley. The guy she was helping was embezzling money from her. She fired him and hired someone who still works for her today. Bradley had to learn how to estimate projects and manage large-scale institutional projects. Her mentor was TDX Construction."They taught me the ins and outs of working with SCA," she said. They still team together on big projects.
SCA's also had a graduate mentor program that covers bonding, insurance, and keeping your financial house in order. She applied and got into it.

Bradley's company had a bond for $2 million, but, to win more significant projects, she needed a bigger bond.

DBC does general contracting; electrical contracting; construction management services; and capacity building, mentoring, and field supervision in these industries:Health & Life Sciences, including hospitals. healthcare facilities and laboratoriesBradley now has women-owned certifications with NY City and State agencies, federal agencies, and corporations. She leverages them all.
