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.

Procon Co-Founder and President Kyu Jung sat down with iHeart Media Washington DC for the CEO‘s You Should Know series sponsored by M&T Bank.

Kyu Jung joined host of iHeart Media DC’s CEOs You Should Know, Dennis Glasglow, to share his personal and professional journey from childhood in Richmond, to meeting Procon Co-Founder Mark Ilich and attending Virginia Tech together, to AEC industry leader.

Kyu talked about what separates Procon from other firms and shared the importance of our industry and the work we do:

“We help shape communities, schools, hospitals, roads, you name it. Our work in the construction industry, it touches the human experience, the built environment…it’s not just hammers and nails. It’s everything.”

Teasers for Kyu’s interview aired on all six DC iHeart Radio stations and the full interview can be found HERE, in addition to all of the stations’ websites.
