PK10ÅâÂÊ˵Ã÷

Our History

PK10ÅâÂÊ˵Ã÷ Consulting traces its roots back to 1972, when Donald PK10ÅâÂÊ˵Ã÷, Sr. opened Donald PK10ÅâÂÊ˵Ã÷ Associates in Deerfield, Illinois.  Starting with three staff members, early projects included the Village of Riverwoods, Illinois, Lincolnshire Corporate Center in Lincolnshire, Illinois and Del Mar Woods in Bannockburn, Illinois.

In 1982, son, Donald PK10ÅâÂÊ˵Ã÷, Jr. began his career at the firm as a staff engineer.  The following year, son, Peter PK10ÅâÂÊ˵Ã÷ joined the firm as a staff engineer.  Over the next ten years, the firm grew in size from eight staff members to thirty and the client base grew to include over 1,000 different companies and municipalities.

Don and Peter envisioned the firm growing further in size and in geographic coverage.  So, in 1992, with their father’s blessings, they established PK10ÅâÂÊ˵Ã÷ Consulting.

Today, after five decades, the PK10ÅâÂÊ˵Ã÷ name is synonymous with quality and dedication to our clients. With more than 300 employees, thirteen offices across the United States and over 8,000 clients, PK10ÅâÂÊ˵Ã÷ Consulting continues to lead the industry as one of the most responsive, innovative and technologically advanced civil engineering and surveying firms in the country.
