Muñoz is a member of the Florida Institute of Consulting Engineers and the Cuban American Association of Civil Engineers.

Guiding, leading, and trusting his highly skilled team to provide critical thinking and big ideas while being the architect of the firm’s consensus building approach – that’s Jose A. Muñoz.

“We strive for excellence no matter the job size. We look at every project as an opportunity to forge life-long relationships with the client. We also recognize every project has unexpected twists and turns; that’s just the nature of our business. Our ability to be fearless in responding to challenges is what sets us apart.”
– Ariel Millan, PE

As executive vice president and a principal/co-owner of the firm, Ariel Millan, PE, sets the day-to-day trailblazing pace of the firm. It’s an approach and business philosophy that demonstrates a leadership style others want to follow – and do business with.

Aligning his team with equally-focused business partners, Millan is confident that the firm’s success is enhanced by the partnerships forged with companies who embrace BCC’s values. As a full-service provider, the Firm regularly takes the lead on major projects assuming full responsibility for all aspects of the job; something that Millan fully promotes throughout the company.

Trust is earned over time; that’s why consistently winning repeat work from clients is the greatest validation that the “BCC brilliance” matters. Building on that trust, and discovering ways to give clients exactly what they need, if not more, has become BCC and Millan’s doctrine.

Since 2006, Millan and Muñoz have been involved in the selection of every professional at the firm. They know potential for brilliance when they see it. A combined knack for identifying talented engineers who display invaluable intangible qualities has created a team of the industry’s most focused and capable professionals. Millan mentors his staff to develop their own project perspective, and they work as a team to achieve notable outcomes.

Having managed more than $2 billion in projects throughout the state, Millan boldly takes calculated risks to recommend solutions others may not have even wondered about.

“The greatest satisfaction I get is explaining to our first-year engineers that they’re not doing homework assignments anymore. What they’re putting on paper is going to be built and used by thousands of people. To actually see that project built is so rewarding. It makes working endless nights to figure out designs completely worth it.”
– Daniel Raymat, PE

Daniel Raymat, PE, joined BCC Engineering in 2004, and is one of the firm’s longest-tenured employees. He currently leads the Miami office Structures practice. Since he first joined the firm, Raymat has embraced its entrepreneurial philosophy, which is to always take a fresh perspective and not accept that things must be done the way they’ve typically been done.

He thrives on challenging conventional designs, and claims BCC’s success on the design of a South Florida interchange at State Road 826 (Palmetto Expressway) and State Road 874 as an example of the company’s progressive thinking. Instead of trying to redesign the interchange that was already in place, Raymat and his team considered the project a blank slate and designed it from the ground up. The work saved the Florida Department of Transportation more than $50 million and accelerated the construction schedule by two years.

Raymat is one of the most prolific and sought-after bridge designers in Florida. In his 14–year career, he’s had a hand in designing more than 70 bridges. This includes working on many of the more than 50 bridge projects that have been awarded to BCC Engineering in the past five years.

He and his team are focused on strict quality control and believe that this, along with BCC’s stellar reputation, allow clients a high level of confidence with any bridge project entrusted to the firm.

Constantly looking for change in new and better ways to design, Danny’s work ethic, engineering expertise, and creative approach have helped to set BCC Engineering apart from its competition — especially when it comes to bridges and structures in Florida.

“BCC has all the ingredients for a successful future. We have a strong core in our ownership, and a great mix of experience and young enthusiasm in our workforce that will undoubtedly lead to continued success. In addition, we have cultivated a family environment, with a professional approach towards everything we do.”
