As part of a workspace reconfiguration at the Census Bureau headquarters in Suitland, Maryland, Procon is providing Change Management services to Census as well as space planning services to the Bureau of Economic Analysis. The project consists of the relocation and reconfiguration of over 1,300 workspaces.

Procon has been tapped to provide program and project management for the implementation of new workspace standards for a sub-agency within the Department of Defense. The agency needs to transform its workspace configuration to improve collaboration, enhance productivity, update connectivity, reduce fixed costs and increase workspace equality. The current configuration of office cubicles provides little flexibility for growth or implementation of alternative workplace strategies in place. Consolidation plans will take advantage of more efficient space plans, flexible furniture solutions, and mobile work strategies and desk sharing. For the two-year project Procon will provide project coordination, scheduling, budgeting, and other construction management services.

Procon was awarded a contract by the U.S. Senate Sergeant at Arms to provide Program and Project Management services for its nationwide state office security program. The multi-year contract will provide the Sergeant at Arms with comprehensive construction management services to oversee upgrades to over 400 senate member offices in all 50 states. Procon will not only coordinate individual construction projects but will also develop and implement customized protocols to streamline the program to improve efficiency and quality and reduce risk and schedule delays. The Senate contract extends Procon’s profile on Capitol Hill where we are involved in an ongoing furniture and space planning contact with the U.S. House of Representatives.

Jonathan Stern, a Procon real estate professional and Senior Asset Manager recently earned his Project Management Professional (PMP) credential from the Project Management Institute. The credential is the most important industry-recognized certification for project managers. With degrees in architecture and business, Jonathan has over 15 years experience in real estate project management and has expertise in planning, design, financial analysis, budgeting, construction oversight, A/E management, project phasing, critical path management, and real estate research and analysis.

The U.S. General Services Administration has hired Procon to provide space planning and construction management services to provide workspace in GSA’s Regional Office Building in Washington, DC for about 1,000 Presidential Inaugural Committee personnel and the relocation of about 350 GSA employees within the building. The project includes the reconfiguration of two floors of the city-block sized building for the Inaugural Committee. In addition to project coordination, scheduling, and administration, Procon will also provide space planning and relocation assistance to GSA.
