Our People. Their Experience. Your Solutions.

History & Values

Since 1992, PK Associates has built a solid reputation for providing superior structural engineering through efficient designs and award-winning structural ingenuity. We provide solutions and investigate new ideas while utilizing state-of-the-art proven concepts. PK Associates is registered in 49 states; registration in additional states can be accomplished quickly, and we are actively working towards all 50 states.

We go above and beyond to provide our clients more than what is expected. Our involvement early in the project design provides true opportunities to recommend and improve structural engineering design efficiency through structural systems and other cost saving measures.

In 2010, PKA developed a Native American Partnership known as Pimara Paul Koehler. PPK is a structural engineering firm owned by an enrolled member of the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and uses the combined structural engineering experience of PKA to develop projects.

PK Associates’ initial structural narratives provide:

  • Accurate and complete scope understanding, early in design
  • Scope definition that is carried through design development
  • The ability for owners to predict cost and maintain development budgets
  • The capacity to provide and encourage more architectural features in the build.

Incredibly diverse and complex projects are designed in collaboration with the outstanding partners we appreciate and respect. We invite you to explore a sampling of exciting projects and witness the creativity and expertise employed on all PK Associates’ projects.
