Patrick B. Sanders, President/Owner
After 17 years with Saffell & McAdams, Pat Sanders formed Sanders Construction Services in 1994. His experience in the construction industry is vast and comprehensive. A large reason for his success is his extensive field experience. He has served the industry in every capacity, beginning as a carpenter, concrete foreman and superintendent, and moving from the field into the office as a project engineer and project manager. He has been instrumental in the development of commercial, industrial, retail, and medical projects of all sizes.
 
Pat’s “hands-on” management style pervades our company, providing clients with efficient, clear communication as we coordinate with our building partners. His experience allows him to understand and trouble shoot and solve any possible construction complication. Commitment to the timely completion of schedules, devotion to impeccable quality, and early attention to effective pre-construction services are the reason our clients return over and over again.

Pat has instilled our company with a commitment to providing clients with cost-effective, valuable solutions without compromising performance or quality. Our long list of repetitive customers and rapid growth are a testament to our work ethic—based on trust, honesty, and integrity.

Scott Lathrop, Director of Concrete and Parking Structures
Scott Lathrop began his career in construction in 1978, giving him 30 years of first hand construction knowledge. The Sanders Construction Services team benefits from his proactive, rather than reactive, management style and his high standard of ethical business practices.

He has successfully completed projects for Shea Properties, Koll Construction, Benchmark, Wermers, Archstone-Smith, Regis, and Hanover. Scott specializes in design build post-tension concrete structures and podium style multi-use complexes. Some of the more notable projects completed under his direction are: The Trio in Pasadena, a 350,000 SQ FT Multi-Family Podium; City Lights in Aliso Viejo; and the Fletcher Jones Auto Center. In addition, he has completed over 100 Parking Structures.

His ability to bring a project to its final completion on-time, while always keeping the Owner/Client's best interests his foremost priority, highly qualifies Scott as a top-notch Director on our team of professionals.

Mike Tierney, Vice President of Field Operations
Mike's construction experience began 45 years ago when he started as an apprentice carpenter. He advanced through the ranks to become a journeyman carpenter, carpenter foreman and then general superintendent for Newall Construction, Landmark Contractors, and the Burge Corporation.

His diversified knowledge regarding the construction of commercial, industrial, and medical facilities is a true asset to SCS. His responsibilities as general superintendent include scheduling, coordination, communication, and constructability analysis. Mike keeps all of our subcontractors on time and certifies that their scope of work is completed without exception. In construction, time is money: Mike is able to save our clients thousands of dollars by keeping our schedules moving and addressing any problem issues quickly and efficiently.

His attention to detail, along with his frankness, reliability, and dedication to each project, provides a positive atmosphere for open communication between owners, design consultants and subcontractors.
