Patrick prepares three to ten hard bids and RFP responses each week, with typical bid values of $800,000 to $1.7 million and a largest win of $12.7 million.

Patrick built Bid Manager, the preconstruction platform his team uses every day. He scoped the platform with its users and directs Claude Code to write it, while personally reviewing, testing, deploying, and supporting releases. Bid Manager automatically routes several hundred subcontractor proposals each week to the correct projects, files RFIs and addenda, reads plan sets, links specifications to cited drawings, and supports quantity-grounded takeoffs. His background also includes historic-restoration field work, millwork-company ownership, estimating from both general-contractor and subcontractor perspectives, technical support, and serious-games development. Earlier, Patrick built training software for a federal safety research lab that received the 2016 NIOSH Alice Hamilton Award.
