Building the American Dream for DC, Maryland, and Virginia
For more than 50 years, Fort Myer Construction Corporation (FMCC) has built the American Dream for the people of DC, Maryland, and Virginia. FMCC started with humble roots out of an apartment in Arlington, Virginia paving driveways and patios. The company’s founders, Jose Rodriguez and Lewis Shrensky, worked hard to complete the highest quality work with every job, no matter how small it was.
As DC, Maryland, and Virginia’s economies started to grow, so too did FMCC. When an infrastructure construction company was needed, no matter the project complexity, FMCC was there to safely deliver high-quality work at a fair price.
​
FMCC is proud to have built much of the infrastructure that allows the residents of DC, Maryland, and Virginia to achieve their American Dream. The company is even more proud to have helped thousands of employees over the years achieve their own American Dream.
​
We support our team members in building their own unique success stories, providing resources to help cultivate the skills required to make their dreams a reality. We’ve created a message rooted in both our history and our aspirations: Building the American Dream for DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
With this message, we continue to grow in serving the infrastructure needs of our region with our same fundamental pillars of success: safety, respect, quality, integrity, pride, and community.
Safety Isn’t Just a Goal, It’s an Expectation
A Culture of Safety
At Fort Myer, safety isn’t just a goal, it’s an essential expectation. For us, safety is a key thread that binds our company culture. We consider ourselves a family and it’s everyone’s responsibility to keep each family member out of harm’s way. Our team has received many awards for our outstanding record of construction safety, spotlighting our professionalism and reinforcing our continual drive for keeping our employees and the public safe.
Construction safety is at the forefront of all Fort Myer Construction projects. Our safety philosophy is emphasized in all phases of a project from integration into the bid preparation, through project planning, and then continuously during actual construction. Fort Myer employee safety is not limited to field supervisors and crew, but extends to estimators, engineers, and managers as well.
Fully Staffed Safety Department
For us, safety is the thread that binds our company culture. We consider ourselves a family and it’s everyone’s responsibility to keep each family member out of harm’s way. Our team has received many awards for our outstanding record of construction safety, spotlighting our professionalism and reinforcing our continual drive for keeping our employees and the public safe.
​
We have a fully staffed safety department that regularly ensures our crews and leaders are meeting and exceeding safety standards. Convening daily before any work begins, safety professionals go over the projects on hand and any potential risks, mitigation options, and best practices to highlight and infuse throughout the project sites.
​
The safety crew is responsible for orchestrating the careful exit of FMCC’s entire fleet of trucks and equipment each morning. Once the yard is empty, they dispatch their own safety vehicles to each project for guidance, facilitation, and supervision of our number one priority: safe work.
The team leverages new technology to stay ahead of the curve and be as proactive as possible in promoting our culture of safety. Tablets are used to keep daily reports, document issues, snap and share photos, record videos, supplement on-site resources, research data, and track progress.
