Pancoast & Clifford

What Pancoast & Clifford does

Pancoast & Clifford is a private general contractor and construction management firm founded in 1995 and headquartered in West Chester, Pennsylvania. It serves the greater Philadelphia region with commercial, institutional, healthcare, education, hospitality, industrial, private club, religious, recreation, restaurant and retail, and residential or multifamily construction projects. The company’s named customer examples include West Chester University, DaVita – Broad Street, DNB First, Ambler Savings Bank, River House at Odette’s, West Chester YMCA, Radley Run Country Club, and Concord Country Club.

The company’s core services are physical construction delivery and construction management rather than software or proprietary technology. Its operating model uses standard construction industry methods, pre-construction cost study and estimating processes, project managers and field superintendents, and a network of subcontractors supported by SmartBidNet registration and bidding. Disclosed project work ranges from renovations and interior fit-outs to ground-up facilities, including medical offices, banks, hotels, clubhouses, schools, civic buildings, and multifamily residential properties.

Revenue is generated through one-time, project-based construction contracts. Projects are acquired through direct engagement with owners, developers, and organizations using negotiated contracts and hard-bid competitive processes; pricing is project-specific rather than tiered. Disclosed project values range from approximately $268,000 for smaller restaurant work to $31.1 million for River House at Odette’s, and the input indicates that repeat clients and relationship-based referrals are material to business development.
