What does a commercial general contractor do?

A commercial general contractor manages a construction project from start to finish and is the single point of accountability to the owner for getting it built on time, on budget, and to spec. That means coordinating subcontractors, managing the schedule and budget, and overseeing quality and safety on site. Fulcrum Construction is a commercial general contractor operating nationwide.

What does Fulcrum Construction do?

Fulcrum Construction is an operator-led commercial general contractor focused on retail construction, industrial and distribution projects, and multi-location rollout and refresh programs.

How long has Fulcrum Construction been in business?

Fulcrum Construction was founded in Atlanta in 2003 by CEO and Founder Mike Arasin. Since then, the company has grown into a national commercial general contractor with five regional offices and more than two decades of experience building projects across the country.

Is Fulcrum Construction a national or a regional contractor?

Fulcrum Construction operates as a national commercial general contractor in the United States. Built on a combined national and regional execution model, it has offices across the country. Each office is run by a hands-on principal with experience building projects, rather than a distant corporate office or a sales team.

Where does Fulcrum Construction have offices?

Fulcrum Construction has regional offices in:

  • Atlanta, GA
  • Los Angeles, CA
  • San Antonio, TX
  • Portland, OR
  • Philadelphia, PA

As a national general contractor, we ensure that our regional offices work in close coordination, sharing client knowledge and experience so that your projects can be seamlessly handled across multiple regions.

How many projects has Fulcrum Construction completed?

Fulcrum Construction has completed more than 3,000 projects across the United States.

What percentage of Fulcrum Construction's work is repeat business?

As an established commercial construction company, a large majority of Fulcrum Construction's project volume — roughly 90% — comes from repeat clients.

Repeat business is central to Fulcrum's model. We are built to serve established retailers, developers, and corporate clients with ongoing construction needs, not one-off projects for smaller operators.

Many of our client relationships span years, multiple markets, and dozens or even hundreds of projects. Our goal is to become a long-term construction partner that understands a client's standards, priorities, and way of working, then delivers consistently as their program grows.

What is the size and reach of Fulcrum Construction?

Fulcrum has more than 120 employees operating from five regional offices in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Portland, San Antonio, and Philadelphia. We complete more than 100 projects annually and maintain established subcontractor relationships across the markets we serve.

Our growth has been deliberate. We open offices where client demand supports a permanent local presence and are planning additional offices in growing markets.

What makes Fulcrum different from other national general contractors?

Fulcrum combines the resources and geographic reach of a national contractor with the direct involvement and accountability of a regional builder. Each office is led by experienced principals who remain actively involved in operations, client relationships, and project execution.

We intentionally occupy the space between very large corporate contractors, where clients can become one of hundreds of accounts, and smaller local contractors that may not have the resources or geographic reach to support sophisticated multi-market clients. Our model gives clients national capabilities without losing direct access to the people responsible for delivering their work.

How does Fulcrum decide which projects to pursue?

Fulcrum is selective about the projects we pursue. We focus on opportunities where our experience, people, geographic coverage, and operating model give us a clear ability to perform well.

That often means working with established retailers, developers, construction managers, and other sophisticated clients who value communication, accountability, schedule control, and long-term relationships. We are not trying to be the contractor for every project. We want to be the right contractor for the clients and projects we take on.

What does "playing to win" mean for Fulcrum Construction?

Fulcrum owns the project, process, and schedule, and takes full responsibility for delivering a successful outcome for the customer, the company, and our employees. That's what playing to win means: we keep our word, take care of our clients and team, and win for everyone involved.

Who leads Fulcrum Construction?

Fulcrum Construction is led by Founder & CEO Mike Arasin and CFO Mark Eastin, along with three regional presidents — Aaron Eveland (West Coast), Cal Patterson (East Coast), and Samuel Joyner (Texas) — and vice presidents running each individual office.
