As a result of 40 years of commercial construction in multi states, private and governmental projects, Patricks’ approach requires relationships based on realistic interpretation of the contract documents regardless of the position as either a GC, Owner, Architect, Engineer, Subcontractor or Supplier. A successful resolution can be arrived only if all parties work together. Patrick has created relationships with over 5000 sub-contractors/suppliers throughout the southeast as well as relationships with architects, engineers and owners, within the private and state and federal levels. In order to be successful, rigid control of the docs and directions must be maintained and even then, litigation, mitigation, arbitration is often required to settle internal disputes between the sub and contractor and architect. It is almost impossible to convert a one-dimensional plan to a three-dimensional project without conflicts and misinterpretations, to be a competent mediator, Patrick is prepared to explain the process and allow all parties to share in the resolution. The truth is its unimportant what the mediator knows or doesn’t know but is critical that the mediator can explain the issues and the subsequent resolution to all involved parties.
