Fransen Pittman General Contractors

What Fransen Pittman General Contractors does

Fransen Pittman General Contractors (legal entity: Fransen Pittman Construction Co., Inc.) is a privately held, Colorado-based general contractor and construction manager founded in 1994. The firm delivers building projects across 12 market verticals — Commercial, Community/Culture, Defense/Aerospace, Government/Municipal, Healthcare, Higher Education, K-12 Education, Libraries, Non-Profit, Science/Industrial, Senior Living, and Worship — using hard-bid, Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), and Design-Build delivery methods. Notable clients include the University of Colorado Boulder, Colorado State University, Cherry Creek School District, UCHealth, Porter Adventist Hospital, the State of Colorado (Capitol and Capitol Annex), Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Douglas County Libraries, Crocs, and Ronald McDonald House Charities.

The company's service offering is structured in three phases — Preconstruction, Construction, and Post-Construction — supported by a proprietary Model-Estimate-Track (MET) preconstruction methodology that gives owners configurable control over project structure, cost, and schedule. Internal LEED-accredited staff support sustainable-building delivery (LEED Silver and Gold across multiple projects), and a dedicated safety program (full-time Safety Manager, daily audits) underwrites the firm's public-sector qualification profile. The firm also pursues green-building certifications including CHPS for K-12 work and 2 Green Globe for cultural projects.

Fransen Pittman generates revenue on a project-by-project basis through competitive bidding, RFP responses, and negotiated design-build and CMAR contracts. Client acquisition is relationship-driven and direct, targeting Colorado and Texas public-sector and institutional owners. The firm operates from three offices — Englewood, CO (headquarters), Windsor, CO, and Southlake, TX (Dallas-Fort Worth) — with 101-250 employees. The Texas office and Windsor office indicate ongoing geographic expansion, while the project pipeline (e.g., the 72,000 SF Colorado Public Radio headquarters beginning January 2026) shows continued backlog momentum across both core and newer verticals.
