Testimonials
“I have known Sargon Ishaya for almost 20-years, first as a teacher and subsequently as an engineering partner through Pragmatic Professional Engineers (Pragmatic PE). Sargon and the team at Pragmatic PE served as an invaluable resource on several different projects from clean room fabrication facilities, complex process piping jobs, data centers, labs, offices, energy modeling and all the way to test and balance of retail fast food restaurants. The expertise and experience Pragmatic PE brings to each project increased profitability and helped us avoid potential pitfalls with other disciplines or building inspectors. Of particular note is the speed at which Pragmatic PE can finish their deliverables. Whenever we had a job with seemingly impossible deadlines, we went to Pragmatic PE and they delivered a quality product on time and on budget. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication to their craft made a significant impact on our business, and I was truly grateful for our partnership. As the MEP Department Director at Air Systems, I had the pleasure of working with the Pragmatic PE team on numerous projects over many years. Pragmatic PE worked collaboratively with project managers, detailers, clients and government authorities which allowed us to streamline our processes and ensure that our clients received the highest quality possible.
I would like to extend a special thank you to Sargon Ishaya, who has been a pleasure to work with. In closing, I would like to reiterate my gratitude for the exceptional work and partnership of Pragmatic PE. I look forward to continuing to work with them on future projects and would not hesitate to recommend their services to others in the industry.”
