Procon has received its first-ever National Marketing & Communications (MCA) Award from the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) for our video podcast, The Build Up!

Launched in 2023 and hosted by Procon President and Co-Founder Kyu Jung, The Build Up began as a creative experiment—a platform for industry leaders to share their stories, exchange ideas, and offer candid insights. Fast forward to today, it’s being recognized as a go-to series for conversations on critical AEC topics like technology, entrepreneurship, US policy, corporate culture, and more.

A special thank you to our talented Video and Podcast Producer, Allison Freed, whose creative vision brought The Build Up to life and helped it connect with audiences across the industry. We’re also grateful to SMPS for this recognition—and can’t wait to display our very first “M” award at our HQ in Tysons, VA.

Local AEC marketers convened at Procon’s HQ for an afternoon of AI roundtables with SMPS DC.

Earlier this month, Procon had the pleasure of hosting SMPS DC’s Emerging Professionals Roundtable for an engaging afternoon focused on all things AI. The event brought together AEC marketers from across the industry to explore how AI is shaping the way we work, create, and communicate.

The program featured four sessions on key topics:
– Streamlining Proposal Development with ChatGPT led by Sierra Nguyen of Setty & Associates.
– Implementing AI in AEC Marketing Strategies led by marketing guru Charmaine Josiah, covering a range of AI tools for strategic marketing.
– AI Tips & Tricks for Video & Photo Editing led by Procon’s Video and Podcast Producer, Allison Freed.
– Ethics & Justice of AI led by land use attorney Andrew Gregg of Bean, Kinney & Korman, P.C., offering a thought-provoking look at AI’s legal and workforce implications.

Special thanks to Maria Castro-Rodriguez for organizing this timely and impactful event! It was an energizing afternoon of networking, knowledge-sharing, and future-focused discussion. We capped off the educational sessions with some refreshments and hors d’oeuvres.

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!
