OUR TEAM

As in all fields, there are only a handful of practitioners at the top tier of their profession. PCA is a firm that is widely recognized amongst the private-sector real estate community as the leading provider of property condition assessments, and all of PCA’s key managers and staff professionals fall into the top-tier category of their respective disciplines. This expertise includes a senior management team with extensive real estate investment, development, construction, and management experience – PCA’s staff are not just architectural and engineering professionals, they also possess extensive business and real-estate-management experience. Unlike other firms, this expertise allows the PCA team to approach each project with a client’s perspective, weather that be maximizing return on investment or, in the case of government clients, providing a functional, safe, and positive experience for the community served.

Your investments, our expertise – a winning combination
