History

Established in 2002.

Precision Property Measurements was founded by Derek Caldwell in Huntington Beach, California in January of 2002. Derek first became interested in property measuring in college, at the suggestion of his mother Nancy, a landscape architect. In 2003 Derek was joined in the business by Andy McFarland, a lifelong friend ever since they met in Kindergarten in 1983. Andy had recently left the banking industry and was looking for a new career path. The two had always shared an interest in mathematics, and they found that As-​Built measuring was essentially an interactive geometry problem. They set out to create building measuring and drafting systems that would minimize the probability of errors through mathematical best practices. To this day, it is this adherence to strict measurement and quality assurance systems which is the strength of PPM’s As-​Built process.
