What Faber Construction does

Faber Construction Corp. is a privately held, family-owned general contractor and construction manager founded in 1987 in Lynden, Washington by Rick and Debbie Faber, serving Western Washington with additional offices in Everett, Woodinville (Seattle metro), and Mountain Home, Idaho. The company operates as a full-service construction partner across six core service categories — Heavy Civil, Commercial, Institutional, Hotel & Housing, Special Projects, and Residential (via the West Coast Homes subsidiary) — delivering projects ranging from $25,000 tenant improvements to $15 million+ developments for public, tribal, institutional, and private commercial clients.

The business executes projects using wood-frame, steel-frame, concrete, and pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) construction methodologies, supported by an in-house heavy equipment fleet valued at over $15 million and 60+ specialized civil field staff. Project delivery is structured in three phases — preconstruction (feasibility studies, constructability reviews, value engineering, permitting), construction, and post-construction closeout — and is managed through Procore construction management software. The firm is a member of AGC, ABC, BIAW, and other industry associations, and has won consecutive AGC Build Washington Awards (2024 SR 9 Fish Passage, 2025 Sedro-Woolley Wastewater Facility).

Revenue is generated through project-based professional services contracts, primarily via competitive bidding on public-sector work and negotiated contracts with private developers and tribal governments. The customer base is diversified across verticals including banking, hospitality, education, healthcare, utilities, transit, municipal government, tribal government, housing authorities, and manufacturing, with notable repeat clients such as the Stillaguamish Tribe (third major project) and the Lummi Nation. Last disclosed revenue was approximately $45 million in 2019, with the current headcount of 165+ employees suggesting meaningful growth since then.
