About Us
Beginnings
INCREDIBLE
Fortify Construction Co has been a longtime dream of two native Idahoans. Thanks to the education and training of one of the best civil construction firms in the nation, the executives of Fortify Construction have acquired processes and procedures that give Fortify Construction Co an edge over its competition. Working for a large, established company gave the owners of Fortify an opportunity to learn from and be trained by some of the best in the industry. These experiences provide clients with comfort throughout the building process knowing that the company they have in their corner was founded upon proven construction practices.
After living in multiple states, the last of which was Texas, Chet and Kristi were blessed with an amazing opportunity. Chet was working 60-70 hour work weeks for his civil construction firm and Kristi owned and was operating a thriving business, while raising their six children. They somehow didn’t feel like they had enough to do, so they subdivided their 2.5 acre property in Georgetown, TX and decided to build a home on the second lot. While this added more to their plates, Chet and Kristi quickly realized how much they wanted to make our longtime dream a reality. They decided to go back to their home state, the great state of Idaho and start their own home building business! This adventure is truly what started Fortify Construction Co. They would be thrilled if you joined them in this journey and know that together we can make both of our dreams come true.
