You Build the Project.
We Handle the Business Behind It.
Patnode Solutions helps growing contractors take control of billing, accounts receivable, back-office operations and project controls—so owners and project managers can spend less time chasing paperwork and more time running projects and growing their business.
Built on 15+ years of real-world construction experience.
The Business Behind the Build
From getting invoices out and cash collected to building stronger systems behind your projects, Patnode Solutions provides the operational support growing contractors need to scale.
Construction Billing & AR
Get the work billed. Get the money moving.
AIA G702/G703 pay applications, progress billing, schedules of values, retainage, change orders, AR tracking and collections follow-up
Back-Office Operations
Keep projects moving without the administrative drag.
Project setup, vendor and subcontractor documentation, W-9s, COIs, contract administration, Procore support and workflow management.
Project
Controls
Know where your projects and your money stand.
Job-cost visibility, budget vs. actual tracking, change-order reporting, WIP support, project profitability and cash-flow visibility.
Operational Advisory
Build the systems your growth demands.
Operational assessments, SOPs, workflow improvement, KPIs, organizational structure, leadership support and scalable business processes.
Your business doesn't fit into a box. Neither do our services.
We tailor each engagement around your existing team, systems and operational needs—providing support where it adds the most value.
Your Projects Are Growing.
Is Your Back Office Keeping Up?
Growth creates opportunity—but it also creates complexity. As project volume increases, billing gets harder, receivables grow, change orders become more difficult to track, and owners and project managers spend more time managing paperwork instead of projects.
Patnode Solutions helps close the gap between what's happening in the field and the business systems supporting it.
[01]
THE WORK IS DONE. THE BILLING ISN'T.
[02]
THE MONEY IS OUT THERE. WHO'S CHASING IT?
Completed work, change orders and pay applications pile up while billing deadlines get closer—and cash gets delayed.
Receivables age, retainage sits, short payments go unresolved and collections become another task competing for someone's attention.
[03]
GROWTH IS OUTPACING THE BACK OFFICE
[04]
YOU CAN'T SEE THE WHOLE PICTURE.
Owners and project managers become the default solution for billing, paperwork and administrative problems instead of focusing on projects, people and growth.
What's billed? What's unbilled? What's overdue? What's sitting in change orders or retainage? When information lives in different systems and spreadsheets, it's difficult to know where the business really stands.
Sound Familiar?
You don't necessarily need another full-time employee. You may just need a stronger back office.
PATNODE
CONSTRUCTION BUSINESS OPERATIONS
[02] PRACTICAL, NOT COMPLICATED
We build processes that work in the real world—not systems that create more administrative work for your team.
Construction Experience.
Business Discipline.
Patnode Solutions was built from firsthand experience inside the construction industry. After more than 15 years managing complex construction projects, we understand what happens when the work in the field grows faster than the systems supporting it.
We combine real-world construction knowledge with disciplined business operations to help contractors build stronger processes, gain better visibility and create a back office that can support continued growth.
[03] SCALABLE AS YOU EVOLVE
Every contractor is different. We tailor our support around your business, your team and the challenges you need solved—whether that's one specific process or broader operational support as you grow.
[01] CONSTRUCTION FIRST
We understand project schedules, billing requirements, change orders, retainage and the realities contractors manage every day.

MEET THE FOUNDER
Built From Inside Construction.
BEN PATNODE | FOUNDER & PRESIDENT
After more than 15 years in construction project management, Ben founded Patnode Solutions around a challenge he saw repeatedly: growing contractors were taking on more projects and greater complexity, while the business systems behind the work struggled to keep pace.
Having spent his career managing the realities of construction firsthand, Ben understands that the answer isn't always more people or more software. Sometimes it's better processes, clearer ownership and the right support in the right places.
Patnode Solutions was built to provide exactly that—practical construction business support tailored to the way each contractor actually operates.
