Founder Story

Fairbuilt was born from a simple observation.

Even the most talented AEC firms often struggle to communicate the quality of their work consistently. Having worked in architecture, Brad saw firsthand how market and firm growth, milestone projects, and leadership transitions could outpace a firm’s brand and presence.

Fairbuilt was started to bridge that gap. Our mission is to help firms navigate these pivotal moments with clarity and confidence, so your reputation matches the caliber of your work. By combining strategic insight with thoughtful design, we ensure firms are not just seen, but understood - and positioned for long-term success.
