FBi s philosophy of partnering with their clients has proven to be successful, whether it be a bid, design/build, or construction management at risk. They continue to maintain a strong commitment to work in harmony with each member of the building team including owners, architects, engineers, and subcontractors. In the spirit of partnership, FBi Construction has created a scholarship fund to encourage people to enter the construction industry.
