Pat Walter | Managing Member
Born and raised in the small town of Brush, Colorado, Pat Walter hails from a place known for more than just its scenic landscape – it’s the proud home of the Brush Beetdiggers. It’s in this tight-knit rural community on the Northeastern Plains of Colorado that Pat’s journey began, and the values instilled in him during his upbringing became the cornerstone of his life and career.
Pat’s family has always been at the heart of his world, a source of strength and inspiration. During his high school summers, he had the privilege of working alongside his family in the commercial construction industry. Those formative years proved invaluable, leading Pat to the realization that traditional higher education was not his path. Instead, he embraced the opportunity to launch a career in the commercial construction sector.
His professional odyssey spanned 11 years, where he started from the ground up, literally. Pat engaged in hands-on labor, mastering excavation and grading, cast-in-place concrete work, metal building erection, conventional construction, and tenant finish. With unwavering determination, he climbed the ranks from a dedicated general laborer to a seasoned crew foreman, then superintendent, and ultimately Operations Manager.
Pat’s journey didn’t stop there; he used his accumulated expertise and knowledge to establish and run Elevations Laser Screeding (ELS), making a significant impact in the industry. In 2004, he was presented with a transformative opportunity to become a partner in Buildings By Design. It was a blessing that he embraced wholeheartedly, knowing that he had a responsibility to honor this opportunity by fostering strong relationships with customers and delivering excellence in their projects.
Beyond the construction world, Pat’s heart belongs to his cherished family: his wife, Cynda, and son Jonathan. His zest for life extends to his passion for athletics, where he relishes the thrill of competition. Pat also finds fulfillment in giving back to the community through his active involvement in various civic groups and community activities.
In a testament to his unique interests and adventurous spirit, Pat owns and competes with bulls in the bucking bull industry, an endeavor that reflects his tenacity and fearlessness. Underneath it all, he remains deeply connected to his roots, embodying the ethics, morals, and principles he learned in Brush, Colorado.
