Three Generations of Commercial Builders
Founded in 1987, Frans Construction began as a family-run commercial contractor serving local projects with an emphasis on craftsmanship and accountability.
Over three decades, we have grown into a multi-state design-build firm trusted by enterprise brands, healthcare systems, franchise organizations, and developers across the Western United States.
Our expansion has been deliberate — adding state licenses, specialized divisions, and scalable delivery systems that allow us to execute complex, multi-location programs with the consistency national clients expect.
Despite our growth, we remain family-owned and operator-led. Every program has a directly accountable leader. Every site receives hands-on attention.
We combine in-house self-perform capabilities with standardized preconstruction, scheduling, and quality systems. The result is predictable delivery at scale — without the bureaucracy that slows traditional contractors.
Our clients choose us because we operate as a true partner: responsive, transparent, and invested in their long-term success.
The result is a commercial construction partner that delivers both the personal accountability of a family-owned business and the capabilities of a modern enterprise contractor.
