Fann Contracting, Inc

What Fann Contracting, Inc does

Fann Contracting, Inc. is a multi-generation, family-owned heavy civil construction company headquartered in Prescott, Arizona, founded in 1960 and currently in its second and third generation of ownership under CEO Mike Fann and President/COO Jason Fann. The company operates as a self-performing general contractor and trade partner delivering highway and transportation, aviation, private development, specialty projects, utilities infrastructure, materials supply, and materials hauling services across the state of Arizona. Its distinctive capability is vertically integrated materials production — mobile custom aggregate crushing and hot mix asphalt manufacturing supported by an in-house fleet of belly dumps, side dumps, end dumps, and rock bottom trucks — which enables cost and schedule control unavailable to competitors dependent on third-party suppliers.

The company generates revenue through three principal streams: public infrastructure construction awarded via competitive procurement with state, county, municipal, federal, and tribal agencies (most prominently ADOT, FAA, NPS, and Federal Highway Administration); private development construction for commercial and residential developers; and materials supply and hauling sold to internal projects and external buyers. Contracting methods span hard-bid general contracting plus alternative delivery formats including Construction Manager/General Contractor (CM/GC), Design-Build, Job Order Contract (JOC), and Best Value, the last category enabling entry into joint ventures with national contractors such as Kiewit Infrastructure and Willmeng Construction on larger infrastructure programs.

Customer segments are organized vertically: Government Transportation Agencies (ADOT and county public works) and Federal Aviation Clients (FAA, NPS aviation facilities) are the primary verticals, with Municipal Utilities and Private Developers as secondary segments. The company holds four Arizona Registrar of Contractors licenses (AZ ROC 071520 A General Engineering; 204153 B General Commercial; 078800 B-1 Residential; 041313 B-4 Specialty) and operates a wholly-owned subsidiary, Fann Environmental LLC, which jointly pursues water and wastewater infrastructure projects with Fann Contracting under multi-phase CMAR contracts. Notable award-winning projects include the $39.87 million I-17 Southbound County Line to McConnell Bridge rehabilitation, the Grand Canyon National Park Airport Runway 3-21 rehabilitation completed within a strict 28-day closure, and the City of Flagstaff Fourth Street Roundabout improvements delivered under an accelerated seven-day summer workweek. The company maintains an Arizona-only operating footprint with no disclosed expansion outside the state and no institutional investors or external ownership.
