For the second year in a row, Procon has received a Project Achievement Award from CMAA National Capital Chapter for Best Building Project.

Procon was honored to receive CMAA NCC’s Project Achievement Award for Best Building Project under $50M for our work on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs HQ Office Optimization in downtown DC. This $15.8M interior renovation for GSA Region 11 transformed multiple outdated office floors (80,000 SF) into a secure, efficient, and modern workplace—delivered on time and on budget.

Last year, Procon received this prestigious award in the over $150M category for the new construction of the WMATA HQ building in Alexandria, VA.

Thank you to CMAA NCC for the recognition and for hosting a fantastic awards + scholarship dinner. Congratulations to Procon’s project team, Mark Miller, Josue Fernandez, Abbey Sheasley, and Jay Schrum for pulling together an award-winning submission!

Procon Hosts Inaugural CMAA NCC Small Business Forum, Fostering Dialogue on Growth and Strategy.

Procon Consulting was honored to host the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) National Capital Chapter’s inaugural Small Business Forum. The event gathered industry leaders for a dynamic discussion on growth strategies and challenges, featuring key insights from Procon’s President, Kyu Jung and Vice President, Sally Clark, CPSM, Past Chair of the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME) Small Business Council.

A central theme was the importance of disciplined growth. Kyu Jung shared Procon’s focused approach, advising leaders to “build your company focus on three areas: Geography, Customers, and Service”. To fuel that growth, he detailed Procon’s “Plus One” strategy of hiring at least one person ahead of the current workload, to proactively grow in the direction of your vision.

Jung also stressed the importance of foundational financial relationships, advising leaders to, “Pick a bank that’s right-sized for your organization. A smaller firm will benefit from a smaller bank that is willing to work with your changing needs.”

The conversation also explored leadership and building a resilient team. Jung offered a counterintuitive goal for business owners: “As a business owner, your goal should be to become the least important person at your company.” This philosophy is about building a sustainable organization by empowering a team you trust to take the firm to the next level. This trust extends to staff, where a flexible approach is key. “Rather than working to get staff to 100% billable, think dynamically and maximize the effectiveness of the individual.”

Procon Consulting thanks the CMAA NCC facilitator, Philios Angelides of The Angelides Group, and all attending firms for a candid and collaborative discussion on elevating small businesses in our industry.

As part of our 25th Anniversary celebration, Procon Co-founders Mark Ilich and Kyu Jung, along with senior leaders Edward Pogreba, Sally Clark, and Jason Reed, headed to Houston to visit with the Texas team and check in on the work we are doing for NASA Johnson Space Center.

The visit included an unforgettable tour of NASA’s Mission Control Center and the Space Vehicle Mockup Facility—where the team even crossed paths with an astronaut heading to training for a space flight!

Leadership also got a firsthand look at the construction progress for Building 31, home to the Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science (ARES) Division. The new annex, managed by our Houston team, will bring additional state-of-the-art labs, conference rooms, and office space to support research on extraterrestrial materials like lunar rocks and meteorites.

And of course—no trip to Houston is complete without BBQ. When the Houston team finished showing leadership around the NASA Johnson Space Center, the group hit the town for the region’s best steaks and wound down with drinks around the firepit.
