Pre-Construct Archaeology (PCA) has been delivering high quality and client-focused heritage services since 1993. Over the last three decades, PCA has grown to become one of the largest professional heritage services providers in the UK.
In 2025 the company underwent an entirely amicable management takeover, which has taken effect on 1st January 2026, and which has been carefully structured to provide seamless continuity for clients and staff. This process has been fully approved by HMRC.
The transition has seen the planned departure of both Gary and Josephine Brown from the Board of Directors, and PCA, and we wish them a very happy retirement. The remaining directors continue to lead the company.
As before, our highly-experienced team of heritage specialists pride themselves on understanding our clients’ requirements: a cost-effective service, delivered on time and to budget and to a standard that meets the local or national authority expectations.
Operating from seven regional offices, PCA works across the UK and delivers tailored, accurate and professional advice and services to all our clients. Our flexible approach allows us to offer a unique package designed to meet the specific requirements of each project.
Our clients cross all sectors, both public and private, ranging from renewables companies, the rail industry and housing developers to local authorities and charitable trusts. Whether you are a private homeowner looking to build a small extension or a large construction company with a contaminated, complex project – we can help.
