About

Ben Reiss, PCC's founder, has spent nearly a decade working in Philadelphia's mid-rise and mixed-use building sector. In that time, the city's construction landscape has transformed dramatically with new building codes, overhauled permitting practices, and an ever-shifting regulatory environment have raised the stakes for every project.

As a developer himself, Ben understands firsthand the cost pressures these changes create. But he also sees what others often miss: the opportunity to adapt, get ahead of the curve, and turn complexity into competitive advantage.

Our Mission

Philadelphia Construction Consultants was founded on a simple premise: help Developers, Owners, and Builders deliver the highest-quality product as efficiently as possible, without losing sight of the end user's experience.

By making targeted, strategic adjustments to design and developer intent, PCC drives maximum return on investment and minimizes construction costs. In today's high-stakes environment. Construction costs and interest rates leave little room for error, every detail matters.

We fine-tune the build, preserve the design intent, and confront the financial realities of each project head-on; so your investment delivers exactly what it should.

Testimonials

““Having worked with the owner Ben Reiss in his previous role on the general contracting side, we knew Ben would bring a technical construction perspective to the owner representation side of multi building 100+ unit project we were breaking ground on. What we ultimately ended up getting by bringing Ben onto the project team extended well beyond just technical construction knowledge. Ben became an integral part of not only our team on the ownership side, but the general contracting team as well becoming a main driving force of the project. We were able to exceed all expectations of the project schedule coming in months ahead of the original anticipated schedule as well as maintain budget efficiency with hundreds of thousands in savings with the help of Ben working directly with the contractor and the sub-contractors. Our experience with Philadelphia Construction Consultants and Ben made our project extremely efficient and helped deliver ahead of schedule and below budget.””
