Procon’s summer interns stepped away from their project sites for a behind-the-scenes tour of one of our active jobs at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in downtown DC—home to a multiple federal agencies and one of the largest office buildings in the city.

Procon project management pros Abbey Sheasley, Kyle Lawrence, and Josue Fernandez led an engaging site visit that focused on Procon’s role as the CMa and featured a comprehensive overview of the project and its stakeholders. After clearing several security checkpoints, the interns were able to explore the third floor, which has undergone a redesign and is currently wrapping up renovations, and got an up-close look at the complexities of GSA projects. From learning about government standards like STC and P100 requirements to participating in a punch list walk through, it was hands-on training at its best.

The tour wrapped up with a courtyard lunch and plenty of great conversation. A big thank you to Abbey, Kyle, and Josue for sharing their years of experience and expertise in government construction processes. The tour provided our interns with valuable, real-world insights they can apply at their job sites across the District.

Procon Reaffirms its Commitment to a Strong Partnership with Federal Government

Tysons Corner, VA – Procon Consulting today issued the following statement: 

Earlier today, an employee made a personal social media post that included a false statement about onboarding new staff. After an initial investigation we determined that the statement was untrue. The employee was terminated and the social media post was taken down. The employee’s behavior does not represent the values or practices of our business. We are proud of our company’s 25 year history of serving the federal government and upholding its policies to the highest standard.

Our review of this matter is ongoing to ensure we maintain the highest ethical standards.

Last week, Procon opened the doors of our HQ office in Tysons, VA to welcome valued partners, clients, and team leaders for our annual Spring Open House — made even more special as we kicked off celebrations for our 25th anniversary.

Guests enjoyed delicious bites (thanks to Victoria Cortes), caught up with colleagues and friends, and took advantage of complimentary headshots in our podcast studio. Some of the evening’s highlights included:

— Cocktails and mocktails inspired by Procon projects — like the Basin Blossom, a taste of spring and tribute to our Tidal Basin seawall rehabilitation work with the National Park Service.
— A champagne toast from our co-founders, Mark and Kyu, celebrating 25 years of partnerships, progress, and people.
— A slideshow highlighting favorite memories and milestone projects from the past quarter-century.
— And of course, cupcakes — because turning 25 deserves something sweet!

Thank you to all of our friends, clients, and partners who joined us for a memorable evening. We look forward to continuing the celebration throughout the year at some of our locations across the country! Cheers to 25 more years of innovation and lots of new opportunities to drive the AEC industry forward.

Procon is proud to announce a new IDIQ contract providing construction management services for the U.S. Government Publishing Office (GPO) in Washington, DC.

GPO plays a vital role in publishing official government information—from Congressional records and Federal agency reports to something we all carry to travel abroad: U.S. passports. We’re excited to be part of the modernization of this historic institution, starting with our first construction project (valued at $51M) consisting of office renovations and HVAC improvements.

We’re honored to support GPO’s mission of an informed America, and help improve the spaces where trusted government information is produced and preserved.

Procon’s Florida Office invited local kindergarten class for a day of learning and play in an effort to promote excitement about construction and exposure to STEM at an early age.

As part of “Get to Know Your Neighborhood” day, the kindergarten class from St. Mark’s Episcopal School in Cocoa, FL took a short field trip to visit their neighbors two blocks away—the team at Procon’s FL office.

The kids got a hands-on intro to construction management, learned about our work with NASA at Kennedy Space Center, and impressed us with their knowledge of tools and materials. After a crash course in PPE, each student geared up with their own helmet, flashlight, and measuring tape, then followed blueprints to build Magnatile structures and even a tiny house! The day wrapped with ice cream, of course, because learning should always be fun.

Early exposure to STEM and construction helps children understand how things are built and how they work—planting the seeds for the next generation of innovators, builders, and engineers.
