Bringing Commercial Precision to the Modern Home

Kevin’s approach to construction is defined by a level of technical rigor rarely seen in the residential world. While many contractors rely on "best guesses," Kevin relies on Data, Systems, and Scaled Experience.

The Enterprise Foundation Before founding Fortis GC, Kevin operated at the highest levels of the commercial sector. During his tenure at Skanska, one of the world’s leading construction firms, he spearheaded the management of a $120 million, 15MW Data Center in Silicon Valley. This wasn't just a building; it was a mission-critical facility where the complexity of mechanical, electrical, and structural systems required flawless execution and zero-margin-for-error logistics.

He further refined his "Owner-First" mentality at Level 10 Construction, where he managed:

  • Stanford Healthcare: Ground-up construction of high-spec medical office buildings.

  • Valley Health Plan: Complex tenant improvements and interior build-outs in San Jose.

The Residential Pivot After years of delivering landmark projects for global corporations and healthcare giants, Kevin recognized a massive void in the housing market: Professionalism at Scale. He saw homeowners struggling with delays, lack of communication, and technical oversights—issues that are simply not tolerated in the $100M+ commercial world.

His Goal for Fortis GC Kevin founded Fortis GC to bridge this gap. His mission is to apply the same "Mission-Critical" standards of a Silicon Valley data center to your home renovation or ground-up build. By utilizing advanced project management software, "Critical Path" scheduling, and the accredited education he earned at CSU Chico, Kevin ensures that every Fortis project is delivered with a level of transparency and technical mastery that transforms the "stressful remodel" into a premium, predictable experience.

Kevin Cano - Founder/Principal

"If I can manage the construction of a $120M data center or $500M Medical Office building in the heart of Silicon Valley to the highest technical standards on earth, we can certainly build your dream home with absolute perfection. My goal is to bring that elite level of accountability, accurateness, and precision to every doorstep in the Bay Area."
