In just five years, Foundational Builders Corporation has carved out a reputation that most contractors twice their age are still chasing. While many firms talk about growth, FB Corp has lived it in the trenches, on real job sites, and often under pressure most contractors would buckle under.
They’ve already stepped into five projects where the original general contractor was fired midstream. That’s not by accident. When owners need someone to fix the mess, stabilize the team, and finish the job , they call FB Corp. And FB Corp delivers.
From Cleanup Crew to Category Leader
Taking over a job halfway through isn’t glamorous. It’s chaos. But that’s where FB Corp earned its stripes. Those five projects weren’t handouts — they were war zones. Missed deadlines, budget overruns, burnt-out subs. FB Corp didn’t just steady the ship. They rebuilt it and sailed it to the finish line.
That kind of real-world stress test has hardened the company, sharpened the systems, and made FB Corp ready for anything the Los Angeles multifamily market throws their way.
A Leadership Style That Actually Leads
At the center of it all is President Andrew Robles. Hands-on doesn’t even begin to cover it. He’s walking job sites, reading plans, checking rebar, and texting subs back faster than most PMs. This isn’t a figurehead CEO — this is leadership by action. Crews know it. Clients feel it. And the culture shows it.
Subcontractors, laborers, supers ,they don’t just work under FB Corp, they rally around it. Because Robles brings clarity, direction, and intensity that turns job sites into engines. Everyone moves better when the guy at the top is in the trenches with them.
Hiring the Hungry, Not the “Experienced”
FB Corp doesn’t follow the industry’s-tired formula of hiring based on résumés padded with decades of average. President Andrew Robles hires for mindset — not mileage. Construction experience is teachable. Hunger isn’t.
Among the company’s Project Managers? One came from mortgage. Another was a college baseball coach. One has a real estate background. And one is a professional soccer player. What they share isn’t a textbook , its tenacity, adaptability, and grit.
And it’s not just the office. One of FB Corp’s youngest Superintendents is only 25 but already has $48 million worth of Type III construction under his belt — starting as a laborer at 18. That’s what happens when talent is developed, not poached.
FB Corp believes in its farm system , scouting raw talent, building leaders in-house, and putting that team up against any gray-haired trailer warrior in the business. Because while others are stuck recycling the same old Rolodex, FB Corp is building the next generation from scratch.
FB Corp Isn’t Trying to Fit In — It’s Redefining the Standard
Five years in, FB Corp isn’t the new kid anymore. It’s a proven operator. A fixer. A closer. And a rising leader in Los Angeles multifamily construction.
This isn’t about flashy marketing or big talk. It’s about showing up, getting your hands dirty, and earning respect the hard way.
President Andrew Robles says it straight:
“Foundational Builders isn’t just a name — it’s a principle. You can’t build a structure or a team worth anything without a solid foundation. Whether it’s character, leadership, or concrete, strength starts from the ground up.”
