Procon Wins Building Construction Project of the Year Award

Procon was honored to accept the Building Construction Project of the Year award from the Construction Management Association of America (CMAA) National Capital Chapter for our work with the General Services Administration on the Virtual Inspections Pilot project.

The pandemic led to an unprecedented new set of challenges around accessing and monitoring job sites. We are so proud that through our long-standing collaboration with GSA and our ability to be on the cutting edge of technology in our industry we were able to successfully innovate and meet those challenges with virtual inspections in a way that we will continue to improve upon in the future, making us more capable and efficient in delivering solutions. 

We’d like to thank CMAA’s Barbara Reynolds and John Morse for presenting us the award, as well as Danielle Breaux and Stephen DeVito for their leadership and expertise on the project, and Ryan Meek for his support.
