Our History
LEGACY & ORIGINS
Fort Hill Construction’s story begins in the early 1970s, rooted in a family of craftsmen who
first honed their skills renovating their own homes in Boston, Massachusetts. What started
with custom cabinetry evolved naturally into a deep
command of all construction trades,
guided by an uncompromising respect for detail and materials.
Encouraged by close friends and early clients who admired both the workmanship and the
integrity behind it, Fort Hill grew organically
—
never through advertisi
ng, always through
trust. In 1974, the company established its headquarters in Los Angeles, where it has
remained for over five decades. While anchored in Southern California, Fort Hill has been
selectively commissioned to build distinguished residences in
New York, Boston, and
Mexico.
Today, the firm remains family
–
owned and operated, carrying forward the same values that
defined its earliest work: craftsmanship without shortcuts, relationships without pretense,
and homes built to endure.
BY REFERRAL ON LY
Fort Hill Construction’s growth has been driven almost entirely by personal referral. This
deliberate approach reflects both the discretion of its clientele and the trust earned
through decades of consistent execution.
The firm is known for its ability
to faithfully translate an architect’s vision into built reality.
That capability is the result of long
–
standing, carefully cultivated relationships with
Southern California’s most skilled subcontractors and artisans
—
many of whom have
collaborated with For
t Hill for decades.
Whether preserving the integrity of a historic landmark, realizing the vision of a Pritzker
Prize
–
winning architect, or achieving old
–
world craftsmanship often considered a lost art,
Fort Hill approaches every project with the same guid
ing principle: plan precisely, execute
deliberately, and deliver without compromise.
RECOGNITION & CLIENTELE
