Procon Consulting

That’s a wrap on 2023! Before we sign off for the year we wanted to take a quick look back and, wow, what a year it’s been. Here we come 2024!

Procon proudly sponsored the 13th Annual Asian Chamber Gala by the Virginia Asian Chamber of Commerce.

As advocates for community development and the AEC industry, we celebrated business service leadership, cultural diversity, and economic progress at this international event held at The Jefferson Hotel in Richmond.

We were honored to be part of this vibrant and inclusive community celebration. Funds raised help support the Virginia Asian Foundation's Student Mentorship and Internship program, nurturing the leaders of tomorrow.

Grateful to have hosted members of the Leadership and Mentoring Program (LMP) from SAME NOVA Post and SAME DC Post. Productive discussions, insightful questions, and diverse perspectives made it a fantastic session. Excited about continuing our engagement with LMP members in the years to come.

That's a wrap on CMAA 2023! Another year of our dare we say favorite conferences (shhhh don't tell the others!) is in the books.

We always look forward to the CMAA National Conference because it's one of those rare moments where we get to be in the same room as so many other smart professionals in our industry who are all there to learn and grow alongside one another.

This year was absolutely jam-packed with excitement:
> We welcomed many of you to our Happy Hour at the Walrus Ale & Oyster Bar
> Procon's own Anderson Lewis presented our Digital Twin Project on the San Ysidro Land Port of Entry with Ron Larsen and Suzanne Manhire from Region 9 and Marin Pastar, AIA, NCARB from
> We recorded two new episodes of "The Build Up" podcast
> High School students shadowed our team to learn more about the industry
> And we continued the trend of orange foods at our booth (it was like trick-or-treating, for adults!)

And it was all right in our backyard at the beautiful National Harbor in DC.

Phew! We're exhausted just reading all that. But, no time to rest! Now it's time for the SAME SBC Conference in San Antonio. Say hi at booth 766!

Our team is headed to Georgia today for the Enabling Innovation conference. We’re looking forward to seeing our partners and clients and learning more about how Kahua can help us continue to advance project management in the construction industry. We hope to see you there!

While we love all the ways that our clients share their appreciation for our hard-working project teams, it is pretty amazing when that recognition comes in such a tangible form steeped in tradition.

Procon's Senior Construction Inspector, Randy Koonce received a Challenge Coin from Commander Richard (Neil) Armstrong for his contributions on several projects in the Ft. Macon area.

If you don't already know, Challenge Coins are a pretty big deal. They've been an American military tradition since WWII and serve as a symbol of membership and camaraderie. Challenge Coins are used to recognize service members and nonmilitary personnel who have had a significant impact on the organization, acknowledge achievements, dedication, or exemplary service, and serve as a tangible reminder of the appreciation and respect of someone's peers and superiors.

Congrats to Randy for this great honor!

We're absolutely thrilled to share our latest achievement! In 2023, we've been recognized as #50 in the Top 50 Construction Management Firms and #86 in the Top 100 Construction Management/PM-for-Fee firms by Engineering News-Record.

None of this would be possible without our incredible staff, whose unwavering commitment to serving our clients has allowed us to make an impact from the furthest parts of Alaska, to the swamps of Louisiana, up to the US/Canadian border in Maine, and everywhere in between.

We're excited to keep growing and providing innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of our clients. Thank you for your continued support on this incredible journey!

Work hard, play harder! 🏌️‍♂️⛳️ We may be pros in the office, but on the green, we're champs! 🏆 Had a blast at the VA-DC Soccer Hall of Fame Golf Tournament. This year, funds raised support the Virginia TOPSoccer Program, which empowers young athletes with disabilities through soccer. 🥇 -DCGolfTournament

We were deeply honored to attend the Warrior Rising 'Saluting Her Service' event alongside our valued partners, CES Consulting, and Cotter Consulting. Together, we paid tribute to the extraordinary women veteran entrepreneurs who have made a lasting impact on our community.

This event exemplified the power of collaboration and the strength of our partnerships. By joining forces, we aim to further bridge new growth opportunities for women, veteran, and minority-owned small businesses.

A big thank you to our two wonderful Co-Ops from , Connor and Maria, who have been working with our Technology and Marketing teams. It’s been a pleasure to see you learn and grow over the last six months. 

For those that aren’t familiar, the Drexel co-op program is a unique opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience by taking a break from traditional in-class learning and spending six months working full time at an approved employer. Procon has been glad participate in this program and welcome these students into our teams for an a more immersive learning opportunity than a traditional internship.

Thank you Connor and Maria for all of your hard work. You’ve definitely taught us a thing or two as well. Cheers to your bright futures ahead!

Welcome to the future.

Yesterday was a BIG day in Boston. Together with our partners at we had the ribbon cutting for the John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, developed as the first-of-its-kind Exchange Agreement between and MIT.

This $750M redevelopment project was an ambitious undertaking and a true collaboration between GSA, MIT, and all the partners on this project. This new facility at Kendall Square just outside of MIT's campus was 10 years in the making and designed with the future in mind.

Not only will this be the home for the Department of Transportation to build the future of modern transit and develop a sustainable transit infrastructure, but the building itself is moving us into the future. The LEED Platinum building is expected to reduce emissions by over 50 percent from a typical building through the use of triple-paned glass, heat recovery chillers, EV charging, rainwater reclamation, a green roof, and dozens of other innovations all aimed at increased sustainability.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this happen. We are honored to be part of such an impactful project. It's such a good feeling to see it come to fruition.
