What Fredericks does

Fredericks, Inc. is a family-owned commercial general contractor headquartered in Pendleton, Indiana, founded in 1977 by Bill Fredericks and his seven siblings. The firm operates four integrated divisions under a single corporate umbrella: General Contracting (with in-house licensed structural engineering enabling design-build delivery), Electrical Services (commercial, industrial, and institutional installation and maintenance), Roofing (membrane, shingle, and metal systems licensed across Firestone, GAF, and Carlisle), and Casework & Stone (AWI-certified cabinetry, millwork, and countertops manufactured at a dedicated facility in Markleville). By self-performing multiple trades, the company captures subcontractor margin internally and exerts direct control over scheduling and quality.

The company serves commercial, industrial, institutional, and government clients primarily in Central Indiana, with capabilities extending beyond the region for selected industrial customers. End markets include healthcare, education (schools, universities), manufacturing and warehousing, religious facilities, and municipal entities. Fredericks is certified under AWI (one of only eight Quality Woodwork Members in Indiana), ABC STEP Diamond for safety, ISNetworld (since 2005), and holds top-tier roofing manufacturer statuses (Firestone Master Contractor, GAF Master Elite).

Revenue is generated on a project-by-project, quote-based pricing model with no disclosed public pricing or subscription components. Customer acquisition runs through direct enterprise sales, pre-construction consultation by project managers, and a referral network anchored by construction managers and architectural firms. The business remains privately held with no external investors, no M&A activity, and no public funding events; succession leadership was formalized in 2020 when founder-family member John R. Fredericks was named President.
