How do you structure your Joint Ventures?

We are flexible. We can operate under a formal populated or unpopulated Joint Venture LLC, or a standard Teaming Agreement depending on the specific requirements of the solicitation.

What is your bonding capacity?

We maintain a robust bonding capacity suitable for public works. For very large projects, we utilize JVs to aggregate bonding limits with our partners. Please contact us for a specific capability letter.

Are you open to being a subcontractor?

Yes. While we often serve as the Prime, we are happy to serve as a key subcontractor for large out-of-state Primes who need a reliable local partner to handle specific scopes of work (e.g., roofing, framing, site management).

Do you have experience with Davis-Bacon wages?

Yes. Our administrative team is fully proficient in managing certified payrolls and prevailing wage requirements, ensuring full compliance for the partnership.

What geographic areas do you cover for partnerships?

We primarily partner on projects within Kentucky and the immediate surrounding states. For disaster relief work, we are willing to travel further.

Do you have design-build capabilities?

Yes. We frequently partner with architects and engineers to present a unified Design-Build team to owners, streamlining the process and reducing conflict.

How do you handle safety integration in a partnership?

We take a "stricter standard prevails" approach. Before mobilization, we review the safety manuals of all partners and adopt the most rigorous protocols. Our goal is to protect the EMR (Experience Modification Rate) and reputation of every firm involved in the venture.

Are you willing to work under an Open-Book financial model?

Yes. Trust is the foundation of any Joint Venture. We are fully comfortable operating with open-book accounting, shared project bank accounts, and transparent auditing to ensure all partners have real-time visibility into project costs and cash flow.

Can you help us meet MBE/WBE or local hiring goals?

Absolutely. We have deep roots in the Kentucky community and maintain a strong database of qualified local, minority, and women-owned subcontractors. We can actively manage the procurement process to ensure the partnership meets all government set-aside requirements.

What project management software does your team use?

We are adaptable to the Prime's preferences. While we use industry-standard tools internally (like Procore or CoConstruct), our team is proficient in various platforms and can seamlessly integrate into your existing workflow for RFIs, submittals, and daily reporting.

Joint Ventures | Fortivus Construction Group

In the modern construction landscape, the largest opportunities often require more capacity than any single firm possesses alone. Fortivus Construction actively seeks strategic Joint Ventures (JVs) and teaming agreements. We are the ideal partner for out-of-state prime contractors needing a local Kentucky presence, or specialized firms (MEP, Engineering) needing a General Contractor partner to pursue large government RFPs.

By pooling our bonding capacity, labor resources, and technical expertise, we can tackle projects that would be impossible individually.
