BOSTON, MA, UNITED STATES, August 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Existing Conditions, a GPRS Company, today announced the retirement of its Founder and Chief Executive Officer, Kurt Yeghian, effective August 1, 2025. Yeghian, who founded the company in 1997 after serving as an engineer in the U.S. Air Force, leaves behind a legacy of innovation and leadership in the building industry.— Kurt Yeghian, Founder & CEO of Existing Conditions, a GPRS Company
Yeghian founded Existing Conditions to address a critical gap in the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry: a lack of accurate, professional as-built documentation. While Yeghian worked at a Boston architectural firm and pursued his degree, he noticed that measuring existing buildings was often delegated to junior staff without the necessary experience, equipment, and expertise. This frequently led to costly change orders and project delays.
“When we started the company over two decades ago, this service wasn't provided by anyone in the industry,” said Yeghian. “It seemed strange that such an important part of the project was really being neglected, so it made sense to start a company that provides this service.”
From its first project, awarded just three hours after the launch of its website in 1999, to landmark assignments like the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the New York Stock Exchange, and Yale University, Existing Conditions has grown into a nationally recognized leader when it comes to documenting buildings. The company was among the first to adopt terrestrial 3D laser scanning and set a new standard for accurate as-built documentation in the field.
The company’s team includes professionals trained by architects and commercial real estate investors, which enables them to “speak the language” of buildings and deliver the data their clients need.
Another milestone came with the 2025 launch of the firm’s coffee table book, “The Art & Science of Building Documentation,” which chronicles a collection of case studies, technical insights, and graphics that highlight the company’s commitment to delivering top-level services.
“I am very proud to present our story and collection of work from the last three decades serving the building industry,” said Yeghian. “I would like to dedicate this to everyone at Existing Conditions that made all of this possible, and thank our clients for putting their trust in us.”
The team at Existing Conditions extends its deepest thanks to Kurt Yeghian for his decades of leadership, innovation, and dedication. His dedication to staying ahead of the curve, building strong client relationships, and team support has really shaped the company’s identity – and set a high bar for the industry.
Acquired by GPRS in 2024, Existing Conditions continues to uphold the same standards, responsiveness, and expertise that have defined the company since its founding, honoring the legacy Yeghian built.
