𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆 𝗟𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿 𝗗𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗢𝗡! Today, we honor the incredible hard work, dedication, and talent of our PROCON team and the amazing partners who collaborate with us every day. From design through construction, your commitment and craftsmanship shape the spaces where communities live, work, and thrive. We are grateful for the passion and excellence you bring to every project, and we celebrate the collective spirit that makes our success possible. Wishing everyone a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend with family and friends! Thank you for all that you do.

Each year, the PROCON officers roll up their sleeves to cook and serve a hearty Labor Day breakfast for our staff. From homemade French toast and pancakes to bacon, sausage, eggs, and all the fixings—no one left hungry! As we head into the long weekend, we are proud to take this time together as a team to celebrate the hard work and dedication that make PROCON truly exceptional.

That is a 1393% increase in donations over 31 years. With our 2025 United Way fundraiser right around the corner, things can only go up from here!

Last week, we had the pleasure of welcoming Granite River Studios back to PROCON headquarters. Together, we are producing a new series of corporate videos that highlight our unique culture and showcase the incredible people who make PROCON what it is. These videos will play a central role in our onboarding experience, helping new team members understand what it means to succeed at PROCON while celebrating the talent and dedication of our staff. It is always a privilege to collaborate with Kent and the Granite River Studios team, and we look forward to seeing the finished videos soon!

𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗢𝗡 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 – 𝟵𝟬 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀: In 1988, PROCON pioneered the Design-Build model, integrating every aspect of project development. Today, PROCON remains one of the few firms to offer a true Design-Build approach, with in-house architects, engineers, and construction professionals working seamlessly together under one roof.

This morning, our very own Preston Hunter was honored to serve as a guest panelist at the Associated Builders and Contractors New Hampshire/Vermont Economics Forum Breakfast at the Derryfield Country Club in Manchester. He joined Brian Gottlob of the NH Economic and Labor Market Bureau and Jamie Brewer of Eastern Bank for a discussion on the key trends shaping New Hampshire’s economy. Topics included the rising costs of building materials, strategies for making informed business decisions, and how construction professionals can stay ahead in a rapidly changing industry. The panel also addressed one of New Hampshire’s biggest challenges: providing housing and rental options for young adults between the ages of 25 and 34. We are proud to see Preston representing PROCON in conversations that influence the future of construction and economic development in our state.

Our nearly 15-year partnership with Merrimack College has spanned the full range of our services, from ground-up construction to creative renovations of existing spaces. When working with the PROCON team, you benefit from the combined skills of our in-house staff, as well as the convenience and time savings of working with a team that understands the ins and outs of your project. With architecture, engineering, interior design, and construction expertise under one roof, every solution is just down the hall. As we continue to grow in the education sector, Merrimack College has been a key supporter of our ongoing success, and we’re excited to keep building together.

We were fortunate to have an exceptional group of interns at PROCON this summer. From active job sites to design plans, subcontractor coordination, and project meetings, they gained a true hands-on view of PROCON's design-build process. They also shared how much they valued PROCON’s collaborative and supportive culture, which we take great pride in. A big thank you to Adam, Andrew, Josselyn, James, and Jameson for your hard work, energy, and fresh perspectives. We wish you all the best as you continue your studies, and we can’t wait to see what you accomplish next!

𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗢𝗡 𝗛𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 – 𝟵𝟬 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀: Believe it or not, it’s been 40 years since PROCON made 1359 Hooksett Road our permanent home. Here’s a look back at our office from the early 2000s. Since then, we’ve undergone many changes and renovations, transforming it into the Class A office building you see today. If you look closely at the two photos below, almost everything has changed—except for one familiar sight: the same tree still stands after all these years.

𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧: 𝗝𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘆𝗻 𝗔𝘀𝗰𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗼 As our only architecture intern this summer, Josselyn is getting to experience a little bit of everything at PROCON. Josselyn primarily works in the office assisting the architecture and design departments. Working on the Liberty Lane project, her tasks include reviewing design plans and being a second set of eyes by helping to add any missing components or dimensions on drawings and renderings. She has also had the opportunity to explore aspects of a role in interior design and gain insight into their day-to-day responsibilities and relationships with PROCON’s vendor and subcontractor teams. Shown here, she recently had the opportunity to join Chris Powers at our Green Street Apartments jobsite in Somersworth, NH, where she received a site tour and had the opportunity to sit in at a subcontractor's meeting. “𝗜 𝗮𝗺 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀,” explained, Josselyn. “𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘀𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝗿 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲.” We are lucky to have Josselyn on the PROCON team this summer before she heads to her first year at Roger Williams University. Keep up the great work, Josselyn!

One of our Core Values at PROCON is prioritizing health and well-being, both in the office and at home. To support our team in living a healthy lifestyle, one of our favorite #PROCONPerks is the opportunity for employees to purchase a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Share from LaValley Farms in Hooksett and Manchester. To sweeten the deal, PROCON generously contributes to the cost of each employee's Share purchase, thereby lessening our employees' out-of-pocket expense while still fully supporting LaValley Farms. A CSA Share gives our staff access to the farmstand’s full selection—everything from fresh-picked produce and locally raised meats to homemade pies, fall decorations, and even a full Thanksgiving meal! We’re proud to partner with LaValley Farms- Massabesic Circle Cart to make this healthy, local, and delicious perk available to our team.

Coming to a job site near you...our newly wrapped trailer! Back in late April, we hosted an after-hours design contest and invited our talented design team to participate. The challenge? Create a graphic design for our new 45-foot trailer, which will soon be hitting PROCON job sites. To raise the stakes, a $500 prize was awarded to the winning design—and we’re proud to announce that the honors went to Cameron Reid, whose creative concept truly stood out. Thanks to Lifesize Wraps, Cameron’s design has been brought to life with incredible detail and quality. We can't wait for you to see our newly wrapped trailer in action at future job sites!

We were honored to welcome Governor Kelly Ayotte, representatives from Grappone Automotive, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Manchester, Eversource NH, and Ford executives to PROCON this morning to celebrate the kick off of Ford's national Building Together campaign with Grappone Ford Mobile Service! Grappone generously provided complimentary mobile oil changes to customers in exchange for donated food and supplies, all in support of the Boys & Girls Clubs’ summer program participants. This incredible partnership highlights the power of community collaboration in making a real difference. A special thank you to Eversource and the Hooksett Police Department for stopping by with donations and showing their support for this meaningful event!

𝗜𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗡 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗧𝗟𝗜𝗚𝗛𝗧: 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗺 𝗞𝗼𝘇𝗮 During his summer internship with PROCON, Adam is gaining real-world experience in the construction field. As one of our “floating field interns,” Adam has had the opportunity to visit just about every active PROCON job site this summer. In the photo here, Adam is at the site of Russo Hall at Dartmouth College where he is operating a surveying instrument called the total station, which is used to determine precise point coordinates. Working alongside field engineer, Justin LoPilato, Adam’s responsibilities also include checking sidewalks for ADA compliance, providing building control, creating anchor bolts as-builts, and verifying subcontractors' work and resolving on-site issues; all of which continue to sharpen his technical expertise within the industry as well as enhance his problem-solving skills. Adam shared with us that he genuinely appreciates the strong team culture at PROCON where collaboration, mutual respect, and a family-like atmosphere define the work environment. “𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗢𝗡 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗳𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘆,” says Adam. “𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁.” We’re proud to have Adam on the PROCON team this summer and are excited to watch him continue to grow in his construction career. Keep up the great work, Adam!

Earlier this week, Freudenberg-NOK celebrated the grand reopening of its newly renovated Northfield facility today with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Nearly a year ago, the company enlisted PROCON to renovate a portion of its existing space to accommodate additional staff relocating to the site. The 8,100-square-foot renovation was successfully completed by PROCON’s design-build team. As part of the event, the Tilton-Northfield Fire Department received an $11,000 joint donation from PROCON and Freudenberg in recognition of the department’s continued dedication to serving the community. The funds will be used to purchase new fitness equipment, supporting firefighters not only in their physical readiness for emergency response but also in promoting their overall health and well-being. Congratulations to everyone who made this milestone possible!

𝐏𝐑𝐎𝐂𝐎𝐍 𝐇𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 – 𝟗𝟎 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬: In the early 1980’s Mark Stebbins creates Stebbins Associates, a Real Estate Development company. A quote from the Union Leader article states, “The future of the Stebbins Family-and the future of the three companies promises to be a story of continuing investments in each other and the community.” A statement still true to this day!

In celebration of all their hard work on the Kittery Home2 Suites project, our design-build team and all of their subcontractors enjoyed a catered lunch today from Blue Ribbon BBQ.

Thank you for your hard work and dedication!

We’re thrilled to celebrate a major professional milestone for Alexander Wimsatt, a key member of our Structural Design team - he’s officially a licensed Professional Engineer in the State of New Hampshire! Alex dedicated four months to early mornings, late nights, and weekend study sessions to reach this goal. With the support of PROCON’s leadership and training teams (and the flexibility to work from home one day a week), he had access to comprehensive prep resources and the time to put them to use. We're proud to support our team members in their growth, and even prouder to celebrate their success. Way to go, Alex! 👏
