Company Profile

Paragon Cultural Preservation Group (PCPG) is a dynamic, woman-owned cultural resource consulting firm comprised of individuals that are experts in the fields of architectural history, historic preservation and archaeology. Although the past is our business, PCPG works hard to help our clients design and execute projects that meet the needs of people today and in the future. PCPG has a thorough understanding of the Section 106 process, and knows from years of experience that if it is implemented properly, good projects that balance progress and preservation will result. PCPG is in-tune with current trends and issues in cultural resource management. Our experienced professional consultants apply their appreciation of the past and passion for preservation to an understanding of the needs of their clients, working through the requirements of regulatory compliance to successfully complete projects that allow progress while protecting significant cultural resources.

PCPG efficiently produces high-quality work products, without being pretentious or needlessly expensive. A buzzword in the industry, streamlining, commonly refers to “a smooth or flowing line designed for decreasing resistance;” or “altering something in order to make it more efficient or simple.” PCPG’s approach to streamlining is to provide high-quality, concise documentation in every phase of every project, eliminating unnecessary revisions and review periods. Because PCPG’s work is always thorough and focused without being excessive, the regulatory compliance process is streamlined, or simpler and more efficient. Quality does not have to be sacrificed in order to streamline projects; by streamlining rather than shortcutting, PCPG is able to maintain quality and be cost effective while encountering minimal resistance.
