PTAC Companies

What PTAC Companies does

PTAC Companies is a privately held holding company, organized as an LLC and headquartered in Daphne, Alabama, that operates a network of specialized subsidiaries across engineering, construction, technology, and investment. The group was founded in 1991 as PTAC Engineering in Pensacola, Florida, and has since expanded to four office locations across Alabama and Florida. Its operating subsidiaries include PTAC Engineering (precast-prestressed concrete structural design with 3D visualization), Structured Parking Solutions (a joint venture with Grace Design Studios for parking structure development), RH Design Build (design-build construction, acquired 2024), Total Foundation Solutions (foundation engineering using proprietary helical pile systems, acquired 2023), and Tarragona Technologies (pre-revenue developer of Calcuclaim, an insurance claims estimating platform founded in 2022). Edge Software, developer of the EDGE modeling platform for precast industry optimization, was successfully exited in 2025. PTAC Ventures, founded in 2021, provides growth capital and operational guidance to portfolio enterprises and supports real estate development.

The group's core technology centers on precast/prestressed concrete engineering, where PTAC Engineering's design capabilities are paired with the EDGE modeling platform, which operates within the Autodesk/Revit BIM ecosystem and is backed by the registered EDGE^R trademark. Foundation work is differentiated through proprietary helical pile systems for remediation of structural issues. Revenue is generated through professional services for engineering and construction, software licensing and subscriptions (now realized as an exit event rather than ongoing revenue), and real estate development and investment activity through PTAC Ventures. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven rather than publicly disclosed, consistent with enterprise engineering and construction delivery to commercial developers, educational institutions, parking structure developers, and local governmental agencies in the Southeast US.

Leadership is concentrated in a small executive team: CEO Jordan Watkins (P.E.), COO Nathan Niebauer, and CTO Barry McKinley, with McKinley contributing 35 years of industry experience including 28+ years focused on precast concrete design at PTAC. Ownership is founder/management-controlled with no disclosed institutional investors. The company's stated scale metrics include 75 years of combined leadership experience and 600 completed projects across the subsidiary network, though financial figures including revenue, ARR, and deal values are not publicly disclosed.
