Protecting Project Integrity
Through Forensic Excellence
Professional Construction Consultants, Inc. (PCC) provides a multidisciplinary approach to construction defect analysis, project management, and dispute resolution. We deliver technical clarity to legal professionals, developers, and insurance carriers through rigorous data-driven investigation.
Our Story
PCC was founded on the principle that technical excellence and clear communication are the foundations of successful dispute resolution. While PCC is a new name in the industry, our foundation is built upon decades of individual field experience. Our team was assembled to bridge the gap between complex engineering data and actionable legal intelligence. We specialize in identifying the root causes of building failures and providing the roadmap for remediation and recovery.
How We Work
Forensic Engineering & Analysis:
Utilizing non-destructive testing (NDT), thermal imaging, and moisture mapping, our experts peel back the layers of a structure to identify latent defects. Our methodology follows ASTM standards to ensure that every finding is scientifically defensible.
Expert Witness Testimony:
We translate complex technical failures into clear, concise narratives for depositions and trial. Our experts are trained to maintain objectivity while providing the strategic clarity required for high-stakes litigation
Construction Management & Peer Review:
Proactive risk mitigation is our priority. We provide third-party oversight, plan consistency reviews, and site inspections to ensure that projects are built to code and specification from the ground up.
Your Team of Experts
In the construction forensics world, clients hire the person, not just the firm.
N. Daniel Peress, CM
CEO/President/Sr. Project Manager
Expertise in Construction Forensics & Strategic Management
With a career spanning the educational, institutional, commercial, single family and multi-residential sectors, I provide a rare duality of service:
The vision to solve and manage complex builds; and the precision to analyze them when things go wrong.
My approach is rooted in a deep technical understanding of the construction lifecycle. By analyzing projects through a forensic lens, I identify vulnerabilities in design, execution, and administration before they evolve into costly liabilities. My expertise includes:
Risk & Liability Reduction: Proven success in protecting both clients and general contractors by identifying and neutralizing potential points of failure.
Regulatory & Entitlement Analysis: Navigating complex zoning, subdivision, and site plan density studies for developments up to 10 acres.
Strategic Problem Solving: Analyzing construction business trends at city, state, and national levels to inform crucial, data-driven decisions.
