The region’s biggest, most varied market.

From the historic downtown River District and the McGregor Boulevard corridor to the Lee Health hospital cluster, the industrial corridors along Metro Parkway and Colonial Boulevard, and the neighborhoods still rebuilding after Hurricane Ian, Fort Myers covers more ground and more building types than anywhere else we work.

Fort handles all of it under one roof. Civil and structural engineering, in-house design, and construction on one contract, with a licensed architect to seal the drawings. That integration matters most on complex commercial and recovery work, where the engineering, the flood requirements, and the build have to line up before anything reaches Lee County review.

Most firms claim Design-Build. On a project this size, you feel the difference.

Common questions

Building in Fort Myers

Do you handle Hurricane Ian rebuilds and storm recovery?

Yes. Damage assessment, the 50 percent substantial-improvement rule, elevation, and rebuilding to current code, with the engineering handled in-house.

Do you build commercial in Fort Myers?

Yes. It is the largest commercial market we serve: medical, office, retail, and industrial.

Can you work near the Lee Health hospital campuses?

Yes. Medical and office build-outs in the areas around the Lee Health campuses are a regular part of our commercial work here.

Do you handle both Lee County and City of Fort Myers permitting?

Yes. We work across both jurisdictions, with permitting involved from day one of design.

How long does permitting take in Fort Myers?

It depends on scope and jurisdiction. Because our engineering and permitting are in-house and involved early, our projects tend to move through review faster than ones where the engineer and contractor are separate firms. We will give you a realistic timeline after the first conversation.
