Fortis Construction, Inc.

What Fortis Construction, Inc. does

Fortis Construction, Inc. is an employee-owned general contractor founded in 2003 and headquartered in Portland, Oregon, with additional offices in Draper, Utah (opened 2024) and Singapore. The firm delivers preconstruction, construction management, and general contracting services across five primary sectors: data centers, science & technology, education, healthcare, and commercial. Over 90% of its project pipeline comes from repeat clients, with marquee relationships including Meta (Singapore Campus, Tulsa, Los Lunas), confidential hyperscale/AI infrastructure operators, Oregon State University, Multnomah County, and the University of Utah. Revenue is generated on a project-based, bid/quote model through direct enterprise engagement rather than a standardized pricing catalog.

The company's technical differentiation sits in its in-house Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) capability, which combines Building Information Modeling (BIM), VR BIM reviews, drone-based progress monitoring, and an Enhanced Closeout and Maintenance Management (eCAMM) package that has been adopted by client facilities teams. Specialized expertise includes mass timber construction (with proprietary weather-protection planning for exposed glulam and CLT), prefabrication and Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA), and sustainability services supporting LEED, Living Building Challenge, and WELL certifications. Fortis was the first Oregon-based general contractor to sign the Sustainable Contractors Commitment.

Fortis operates a relationship-driven go-to-market, leveraging industry rankings (ENR Top 400 #46 in 2026, BD+C #7 Data Center Contractor), AGC safety awards (13 consecutive years), and a multi-channel brand presence (website, LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook). The business is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, and it is led by CEO/President Rob Fallow with Andrea Weisheimer joining as President overseeing Geographic Markets in January 2026. The board was expanded in November 2025 with Michele Leiva (former DPR CFO) and Briston Blair (Comfort Systems USA SVP Innovation & Strategy).
