Since its inception, we strive to exceed our client expectations by consistently improving our products and services. We are always on the lookout for the top talent in the industry as we consider our employees one of our greatest assets.

We truly celebrate our employee milestones and successes in our industry because without our employees, we would not be where we are today! We have been voted Top Workplace by our employees for 5 years in a row and have also been featured in the Pittsburgh Business Times as one of Pittsburgh's Fastest Growing Companies, Largest Area Construction Contractors, and Family Business Awards winners.

Safety, Respect, Accountability, Efficiency, Empowerment, Creativity, Loyalty… We feel strongly about every one of those, but we also feel they are the minimum every company should abide by. So, what makes us different? How do Franjo team members operate? Well, we speak to each other with radical candor. We work hard so we can play hard. We have each other's backs.
