Need a Building?
A steel package and erection path in one conversation
Patriot can source prefab, pre-engineered or custom-configured steel building packages through established suppliers, then erect the package for the project.
Patriot is the erection contractor—not the engineer or manufacturer—and does not represent itself as a turnkey general contractor. Engineering, manufacturing and other project responsibilities remain with the appropriate project parties.
Already Have Plans?
Bring the package, plans or project concept
Owners, general contractors and developers can contact Patriot for erection pricing on an existing steel package or project plans. Plans and specifications are helpful when available, but they are not required to start the conversation.

Equipped to Mobilize
The equipment strategy follows the project
Patriot uses lifts, telehandlers, cranes, welding equipment, trucks, trailers and specialized erection equipment. Equipment may be mobilized from available company resources or rented and sourced locally based on project logistics and cost efficiency.
A typical field crew is Joshua plus four to six workers. That describes a typical crew—not a maximum project capacity.
Service Area
Grand Lake home base. Nationwide reach.
Patriot is based at Grand Lake in Northeast Oklahoma and serves projects nationwide. Its core markets include Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
Mobilization decisions account for the scope, schedule, project location, equipment requirements and practical cost of completing the work.
For General Contractors
A steel erection subcontractor for bid lists and active projects
General contractors can send bid invitations, plans and specifications for review. Patriot can price erection of an existing building package or discuss sourcing a package as part of its erection scope.
