F & W Construction Company Incorporated

What F & W Construction Company Incorporated does

F & W Construction Company Incorporated is a third-generation, family-owned general contractor headquartered in Anchorage, Alaska, specializing in vertical commercial construction and tenant improvement projects across the state. Founded by Al Wiederholt and operating for more than 64 years, the company delivers projects across six formal service lines: Sole-Source, Commercial, Industrial, Tenant Improvements, Education, and Health Care. Its core technical capability is executing complex construction in remote Alaska locations, mobilizing materials and equipment by barge, aircraft, and heavy-lift helicopter, and operating multifunctional field crews skilled in structural steel, pre-engineered metal buildings, structural concrete, modular construction, and timber framing.

The company serves a primarily public-sector and institutional client base, including Alaska municipal governments, boroughs, school districts, federal agencies (FAA, Bureau of Land Management), Alaska Native corporations (Huna Totem Corp., Chenega Corporation), and industrial and commercial enterprises (Marathon Petroleum, LifeMed Alaska, Cook Inlet Housing Authority). Projects range from approximately $400,000 for small tenant buildouts to $15.6 million for major industrial and infrastructure facilities.

Revenue is generated through fixed-price lump sum contracts, design-build agreements, CM-GC arrangements, and time & materials contracts, secured primarily through qualifications-based selection and sole-source awards rather than competitive low-bid procurement. The company has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and operates with a workforce of 11–50 employees concentrated in Alaska, with no international footprint or digital product platform.
