Its portfolio spans healthcare, education, cultural institutions, corporate offices, municipal facilities, historic renovations, hotels and multi-family housing, industrial and manufacturing, sports and recreation, zoos and exhibits, and restaurants and event centers.

The company's core technology is traditional construction management and design-build project delivery, supported by a self-perform capability in demolition, carpentry, and interior finishes that differentiates it from pure broker-style competitors. Projects range from $1.5 million to over $257 million, with notable work including the Cleveland Museum of Art ($257M), Cleveland Museum of Natural History Transformation ($100M), Berea Midpark High School ($62M), Flexjet headquarters ($50M), Severance Hall renovation ($35M), and the Third District Police Station for the City of Cleveland. Panzica has demonstrated LEED Gold certification capability on projects such as the Collinwood Recreation Center.

Panzica generates revenue through project-based contracts with institutional, corporate, municipal, and nonprofit clients, with pricing negotiated on a per-project basis via competitive bidding or direct negotiation. Sales occur through direct enterprise engagement with a 101-250 employee organization, supported by a pre-qualified subcontractor network managed through Building Connected. The firm operates without external investment, M&A activity, or public listing, and was recognized as a Plain Dealer and cleveland.com Top Workplaces 2024 honoree.
