The Process
Project Approach
Our project approach is summarized through three broad phases where we design and price, construct and follow-up during post construction.
- Define client objectives & priorities
- Brainstorm design ideas & architectural details
- Review design & price options
- Constructibility reviews balancing cost, aesthetics & function
- Final price & schedule
- Daily oversight
- Self-perform steel building erection with Patco’s crew
- Manage subcontractors
- Quality control checks
- Weekly updates
- Identify & complete all punch list items
- Perform periodic walkthroughs
- We stay in touch

Benefits of Patco’s Design-Build Process
Our success in completing projects within budget and on time is based upon both our experience and the utilization of the Patco Design-Build Process.
The Design-Build process creates the framework around our Project Approach. Patco’s version of the Design-Build concept is different, because we perform much of the design in-house and we have our own erection and enclosure crews. These differences help us control cost, schedule and quality.
Lower risk & higher predictability
Eliminates cost & need of owner's representative
Lower design & project costs
Shorter overall project schedule
Simplified delivery method
Increased speed of decision making
Better design & construction solutions

Why Choose Patco?
Patco’s design-build approach has numerous advantages over the traditional lump sum bid. See how we compare below:
| TRADITIONAL BID | PATCO DESIGN-BUILD |
|---|---|
| Multiple points of contact between the general contractor, architect, owners & others | Single point of contact for all project needs |
| Owner assumes design risk | Patco assumes design risk |
| Design must be complete to avoid change orders | In-house design simplifies process & quality of drawings |
| Builder not involved until design is completed & bid out | Decisions made with builder input |
| Cost not known until design is completed & bid out | Project cost is known earlier |
| Less control through a subcontractor | Self-perform steel erection controls quality & schedule |
| Schedule risk if bids come in over budget (redesign & repricing) | Faster delivery process |
| Long-term relationship is more difficult | Ensures client satisfaction |
