Arviso Construction

What Arviso Construction does

Arviso Construction is a 100% Navajo family-owned general contractor founded in 1982 by Olsen Arviso Sr. on the Navajo Reservation and headquartered at 51 A Dakota Loop, Fort Wingate, New Mexico. The firm delivers residential and commercial construction across Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah, with a primary focus on the Navajo Nation and surrounding communities.

The company executes projects through multiple delivery models — CM at Risk, Design/Build, General Contracting, Comprehensive Pre-Construction Services, Competitive Bidding, and Fast Track Delivery — supplemented by self-perform capabilities in concrete, steel erection, rough carpentry, painting, and minor demolition, using Native American labor. Notable completed and ongoing projects include an 80,000-square-foot Wingate High School for the Bureau of Indian Affairs and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a 47,000-square-foot wellness center for Ft. Defiance Indian Hospital Board, a 20,605-square-foot Student Union Building for Navajo Technical University, and a 30-unit Chuska Apartments project for the New Mexico Coalition to End Homelessness.

Arviso generates project-based revenue through competitive bidding and direct negotiation with tribal governments, tribal colleges, healthcare organizations, utility companies, gaming establishments, and select private businesses. Pricing is custom-quoted per engagement, and projects are multi-year in cadence. A digital Plan Room at planroom.arviso.com supports subcontractor bidding workflows. The company is privately held by the Arviso family under second-generation leadership (Orville Arviso, President; Olsen Arviso, CEO; Oran Arviso, Vice President; Orlinda Arviso, Secretary and Treasurer) and operates with 11-50 employees. No revenue, funding, or M&A disclosures are available.
