Culture
Why Fortis?
Intentionally Different
Fortis Construction, Inc. is an employee-owned general contractor committed to making an impact—through our relationships, projects we build, and the communities we serve.
Our culture is intentionally different, and our project teams are at the center of all we do. We hire people – not numbers, and together deliver an experience rooted in care, trust, and collaboration. Our passionate, entrepreneurial team members are empowered to lead, innovate, and make decisions that matter.
We live out our Core Values by developing mutually beneficial relationships with our teammates, clients, trade partners, and communities. As a result, over 90% of our work comes from repeat clients who trust us to deliver excellence. With offices in Oregon and Utah, we specialize in the data center, science & tech, commercial, healthcare, and education markets. We have performed projects in multiple states and across the globe with a team of more than 600 employees.
