Frequently Asked Questions
How big is Fite Building Company?
Fite Building Company has 175+ team members and has completed roughly $2.4 billion in projects over its 50-year history. The headcount and project volume put Fite among the larger commercial general contractors based in north Alabama, with field crews that self-perform substantial portions of project scope rather than fully subcontracting work out.
What sectors does Fite work in?
Fite Building Company serves commercial, industrial, hospitality, medical, and public sectors. The cross-sector portfolio means Fite can move project teams between markets when one sector slows down, and it's part of why 88% of the company's work comes from repeat clients who run multiple project types under the same building program.
Where does Fite operate geographically?
Fite Building Company has completed projects across Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas from the Sexton Road headquarters in Decatur. The five-state footprint is built on commercial and industrial clients who run multiple sites across the southeast, which lets Fite move construction teams to project locations rather than maintaining permanent satellite offices.
Does Fite handle LEED green building?
Fite Building Company offers LEED green building delivery as part of its service catalog. LEED projects require specific documentation, material sourcing, and commissioning standards that aren't part of conventional construction, and Fite carries the in-house expertise to run LEED scope on commercial, medical, and public projects where owners need the certification.
What does self-perform construction mean?
Fite Building Company self-performs construction on portions of its projects rather than subcontracting all scope. Self-perform crews typically cover concrete, framing, and select mechanical work, which gives Fite direct control over schedule and quality on the path-of-construction items that most often cause delays when handled by outside subcontractors.
Why do clients keep coming back to Fite?
Fite Building Company shows 88% repeat-client work, which is high for the commercial construction industry. The repeat rate reflects the company's preconstruction-through-warranty service model, where the same project teams stay involved across multiple buildings for clients who run portfolios of stores, plants, hospitals, or institutional facilities.
