What Fisher Construction Group does

Fisher Construction Group (operating as Fisher CGI) is a privately held design|build construction services firm headquartered in Burlington, Washington, with regional offices in Spokane and Vancouver, Washington. Founded in the mid-1970s and now in its fifth decade, the company specializes in temperature-controlled facilities — cold storage warehouses and food processing plants — while also delivering industrial, commercial, healthcare, and wastewater treatment projects across the United States and Canada.

The firm's service offering is integrated end-to-end: in-house architecture and engineering, general contracting, civil construction, concrete services, MEP and process equipment installation, thermal envelope systems, and roofing are all delivered under a single design|build contract. Notable technical capabilities include Automated Storage Retrieval System (ASRS) cold storage construction using software-controlled robotic stacker cranes, specialized thermal envelope systems for refrigerated facilities, and 3D modeling for virtual construction walkthroughs prior to build. The company self-performs site work, utilities, and concrete installation, retaining direct control over quality, schedule, and budget.

Fisher operates a project-based revenue model, bidding competitively on enterprise contracts with property owners, developers, and corporate clients — including cold-chain operators (Lineage Logistics, NewCold, Americold, US Cold Storage), major food processors (Lamb Weston, McCain Foods, Simplot, Tree Top), and select commercial accounts (FedEx Ground, Walgreens). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with no intermediary channel, and the firm maintains an extensive network of pre-qualified subcontractors and suppliers. No public revenue, funding, or ownership details are disclosed.
