History of PCEA

National Information

 

The Professional Construction Estimators Association (PCEA) was originally chartered on June 5, 1956

with twenty-five members in Charlotte, North Carolina.  During the early years of existence, these few

members rallied together exchanging constructive ideas, promoting educational endeavors, and developing

new friendships.  They set forth goals and aimed toward expansion of the association through diversified activities and development of established relationships.  As a result, the second Chapter was established

in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1958.

 

Today, the National association has more than 575 members in twelve chapters across five states (VA, NC, SC, GA, FL) and continues to grow.

 

The purpose of the PCEA as extracted from the by-laws and constitution include:

  • To further recognition of construction estimating as a professional field of endeavor.
  • To collect and disseminate information that will increase the efficiency of all phases of construction, promote good will between the various phases of construction industry, obtain a more thorough understanding of the various problems confronting the construction industry, and make all possible efforts to solve those problems satisfactorily to all concerned.
  • To observe moral and ethical standards that would at all times reflect favorable upon members as individuals as part of the association.
  • To furnish to its members means and opportunities for social intercourse, mental improvement, amusement, and recreation.

 

Local Chapter Information

 

The Catawba Valley chapter of PCEA was chartered on November 9, 1978 at the Golden Bull Restaurant (where Hams on 321 now stands).  Steve Barnhardt was the first Chapter President.  He was the sales manager for Catawba Concrete Products, which later changed its name to Lightweight Block Company (now CEMEX on 2nd Avenue in Hickory).  Bliss Teague was First Vice President, Bill Reeves was Second Vice President (deceased) and Terry Sigmon was Secretary.  Below you will find a list of charter members and past presidents as of 2009.  From the Golden Bull, the meetings moved to the Hickory American Legion (now part of Hickory High School), the Ramada Inn (where Parkway Inn/Gateway now stands), Lake Hickory Country Club, Catawba Country Club, and a couple of other locations before arriving at the present location.  During the mid-eighties, only the Raleigh and Charlotte chapters were larger than Catawba Valley.
