A 100% Employee-Owned Company Means Better Results for Clients
Employee ownership isn’t just a cultural value — it directly impacts project delivery.
What this means for stakeholders:
- Higher accountability
Employee-owners protect schedules, budgets, and workmanship as if their reputation is tied to the outcome — because it is. - Lower turnover, stronger continuity
Owners get consistent leadership from start to finish, reducing friction, rework, and communication gaps. - Better collaboration
Employee-owners lean into problem-solving and communication, creating smoother coordination with architects, subs, and owners.
Self-Perform Expertise + Trusted Subcontractors = Predictable, High-Performing Projects
Fahs blends deep in-house capabilities with long-standing relationships across the subcontractor community. This hybrid model gives clients direct control where it matters most — without compromising the specialty expertise many projects require.
Fahs self-performs:
- Sitework & excavation
- Concrete foundations & structural concrete
- Commercial paving & asphalt
For Developers
- Faster site and concrete sequencing = earlier vertical progress
- More accurate early pricing = stronger pro forma confidence
For Architects
- Consistent field leadership = cleaner coordination
- Controlled sequencing = protected design intent
For Municipalities & Public Owners
- Reliable scheduling = fewer disruptions to facilities and communities
- Quality craftsmanship = lower long-term maintenance costs
For Private Owners & Institutions
- Clearer cost control = budget stability
- Strong early-phase control = cleaner turnover & earlier occupancy
Self-perform is not about doing everything — it’s about anchoring the project with predictability, precision, and reduced risk.
