OUR COMPANY
HISTORY OF FIRM
Dan Barge III and John Cauthen founded Barge Cauthen & Associates, Inc., (BC&A) in January of 1994 to provide
civil engineering, architecture, planning, and management services to public and private sector clients. Dan Barge III,
a licensed civil engineer, has 38 years of experience in civil engineering, specializing in site planning and development
of commercial, industrial, and residential projects. John Cauthen, a certified planner and public housing manager, has 35
years of experience in planning, specializing in providing planning and management services to over 70 public housing
agencies across Tennessee and the Southeast.
BC&A was founded on the principle of maintaining direct participation in each project by a principal of the firm
to ensure the highest quality of service to our clients. The result of this foundation has proved quite successful.
We are an information-based, task-oriented firm, driven by professional associates with a clearly-focused mission to provide
a cost-effective design focusing on our clients' vision and development needs.
In the 16 years that BC&A has been operating, we have participated in the design and/or planning of over 5,000
projects in Tennessee. Eighty-four percent of our 2008 revenue was attributed to repeat business giving us a strong
indication of our clients' satisfaction that reinforces our belief in the founding principle of direct participation.
