What Pavilion Construction does

Pavilion Construction is a privately-held general contracting firm founded in 2007 by Derek Mannelin (Chief Executive Officer) and Brian Gerritz (President), whose collaboration dates back to 1998. The company is headquartered in Lake Oswego, Oregon and operates as a licensed general contractor across 11 western U.S. states — Arizona, California, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington — with regional offices in Albuquerque, New Mexico and Carrollton (Dallas), Texas, and operational presence in Reno and Las Vegas, Nevada. It employs between 101 and 250 people and has delivered more than 100 projects since inception, with a 146-unit LIHTC affordable housing complex (Medano Heights Apartments in El Paso) marking its 100th project milestone in January 2021.

The firm's core offering is full-service general contracting — pre-construction planning, construction management, and project delivery — concentrated in multi-family residential development. Its practice has expanded into affordable housing (LIHTC and Low-Income Housing Tax Credit-financed projects), senior living, student housing, tribal housing, sustainable/LEED-certified construction, and renovation/rehabilitation, including historic preservation projects on the National Register of Historic Places. Specialization is evidenced by LEED Platinum certifications on multiple projects (Paisano Green Senior Housing, Parkside Terrace at HERS 58–60, Plaza Feliz, Sierra Vista, Park Place, Christina Court, Stage Coach Motor Inn Apartments) and the construction of the first Net-Zero LEED Platinum public housing community in the United States (Paisano Green, 2012, awarded NAHRO National Award of Merit in Program Innovation for Project Design). The firm's claimed differentiator is an 'Integrated Project Delivery Approach' emphasizing cost control, schedule maintenance, quality assurance, and team coordination.

Revenue is generated on a project-specific general-contracting basis through multi-year contracts, with pricing structured to scope, location, and client requirements. The go-to-market is sales-led, direct, and relationship-driven: the firm explicitly attributes its growth to repeat business with satisfied clients and operates without third-party intermediaries, engaging developers, public housing authorities, tribal entities (e.g., Mescalero Apache Housing Authority, Pueblo of Acoma Housing Authority), federal agencies (Veterans Administration, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services), and municipalities (e.g., Housing Authority of El Paso, Portland Housing Bureau, Santa Fe Public Schools). Marketing relies on a curated project portfolio on its website, targeted case studies, and industry recognition including ENR Best Projects, NAIOP, AIA Design Awards, and the Charles L. Edson Tax Credit Excellence Award. The company has no public funding rounds, no disclosed M&A activity, no subsidiaries, and no external investors identified in available sources.
