About 4b Technology Group
Purpose-built for complex work.
We are an independent, woman-owned professional services firm focused exclusively on technology consulting and design. Unlike contractors, integrators, or equipment vendors, we remain independent throughout the project, providing unbiased guidance, coordinated designs, and advocacy for our clients from concept through construction administration.
Our Story
Built on expertise.
Driven by precision.
4b Technology Group was founded in 2002 by Terry Basford in Houston, Texas. What began as a technology consulting practice focused on the aviation sector grew steadily into one of the region’s most respected independent design firms — competing directly with national consultancies on the most complex construction projects in the country.
Today, 4b serves clients across higher education, healthcare, oil & gas, science & technology, aviation, and commercial markets. Celebrating 25 years in 2026, we continue to grow — not by taking on more projects, but by delivering better ones.
Clients choose 4b because we are agile enough to adapt, accurate enough to trust, and experienced enough to anticipate challenges before they become problems. Our coordinated approach reduces change orders, supports competitive bidding, and helps projects stay on schedule and on budget. Whether designing a complex audiovisual environment or a fully integrated low‑voltage infrastructure, we bring clarity to complexity and confidence to every decision.
In short, 4b Technology is the partner you choose when you want technology design done right—expertly, objectively, and with a level of care that elevates the entire project.
