We’ve been helping keep our clients informed of Building Science Symposium events for more than a year, now.  It was last summer that P-Tn was able to assist this non-profit by redesigning and rebuilding their website, which you are invited to visit at BSandBEERkc.org.  The BS* is not what some might think, but instead refers to Building Science, which has the focus of bringing contractors together at these events, to network, learn about best practices in building, discover new products, and – ...

We fly drones.  Our FAA certified Pilots fly monthly for Aerial Progress documentation on construction sites, as well as more creative flights on construction projects and finished buildings or developments.  We edit our footage and still photos into videos that are used for construction team reporting, website display, social media posting, and other marketing & promotional sharing. Flight requests can happen anytime, for locations anywhere.  We’ve recently shared some rural flights that ... Read More about RURAL and URBAN DRONE FLIGHTS

Despite a long list of clients served by P-Tn over the decades, it is worth noting that we have not met many of our clients face-to-face.  So much business is conducted over the phone, or via email, that personal interaction with our clients is often lost in the process.  Even a ZOOM meeting falls far short of an actual one-on-one conversation.  Whenever we do have the rare opportunity to visit our clients at their offices (or in the field, of course – which does happen far more often), we make ...
