What we do
A custom home, built the way it was drawn.
Fort designs and builds custom homes as one team, so the house in the drawings is the house that gets built, on budget. The design reflects real structure, real finishes, and the realities of building on the Gulf coast.
From waterfront custom homes to inland estates, we deliver under one contract with a single point of accountability and a Maximum Cost Guarantee on every proposal.
Scope
What we handle.
Custom home design and construction
Design developed in-house and built by the same team, from concept through move-in.
Site work and foundations
Foundations and sitework engineered for coastal soils, flood elevation, and the high water table.
High-end finishes and millwork
Custom finishes, cabinetry, and millwork coordinated with the design, not added at the end.
Hurricane-rated construction
Built to Southwest Florida’s wind and storm code, with the structure engineered in-house.
The in-house difference
Designed and built by one team.
When the people who design your home are the people who build it, the details hold. Materials, structure, and budget are reconciled before the first slab is poured, not discovered halfway through.
Coastal and waterfront
Homes engineered for canal-front and Gulf-access sites, salt, and surge.
Flood and elevation
Finished-floor and flood design for building in AE and VE zones.
Hurricane-rated
Structure built to the region’s wind and storm code, engineered by our P.E.
High-end finishes
Custom millwork and finishes coordinated with the design from the start.
Selected work
Residential work.

Frequently asked.
Do you design the home, or do I bring plans?
Either. We can design your home in-house from the ground up, or build from plans you already have.
Do you build waterfront and coastal homes?
Yes. We engineer and build for canal-front and Gulf-access sites, including flood elevation and wind requirements.
Is there a P.E. involved?
Yes. Our in-house Professional Engineer handles the structural and site engineering, which is rare for residential builders.
Where do you build?
Collier and Lee counties, including Naples, Bonita Springs, Fort Myers, and Marco Island.
