Three Decades of
Construction Expertise

Project Cost Associates Inc. was founded with a simple conviction: every construction project deserves accurate, transparent cost information. Too often, projects are derailed by unreliable numbers — budgets that don't hold, estimates that miss critical scope, or cost advice that arrives too late to be useful.

Since 2006, PCA has served as a trusted cost management partner to architects, engineers, construction managers, and public agencies across New York, New Jersey, and nationwide. Our work spans K-12 schools, higher education facilities, healthcare centers, government buildings, housing developments, and transportation infrastructure.

As a certified Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Small Business Enterprise (SBE), and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), we bring both technical excellence and a commitment to diversity in the construction industry. We've earned prequalification with over 13 public agencies including DASNY, SCA, DDC, MTA, and the Port Authority of NY/NJ.

With 500+ projects delivered and a reputation built on accuracy, integrity, and on-time delivery, PCA continues to be the firm clients trust when the numbers matter most.

What Drives Our Work

Accuracy First

Every number we deliver is backed by verified data, detailed takeoffs, and current market intelligence. We don't guess — we quantify.

Transparent Communication

We explain our assumptions, flag risks, and walk you through every line item. You'll never wonder where a number came from.

Client-Centered Approach

Your project goals drive our work. We tailor deliverables to your decision-making needs — not a one-size-fits-all template.

On-Time, Every Time

Construction moves fast. We've built our practice around efficient workflows that deliver accurate information when you need it.

Integrity

We give you honest numbers, even when they're not what you want to hear. Our reputation depends on telling you the truth.

Continuous Improvement

We invest in better tools, updated databases, and ongoing professional development to ensure our work stays at the leading edge.
