About Foundation Mechanics
Rebuilding the Rules
In 2011, FM was founded on a bold idea: to build a new foundation for how construction should be done.
Woman-owned and led by industry experts, Foundation Mechanics began managing small civil construction contracts. Today, we contribute to vital infrastructure projects, operating with ingenuity and providing answers others can’t, don’t, or won’t.
