Froehling and Robertson’s established history of successful projects dates back further than any of our competitors. Our people, processes, and values are dedicated to supporting our client-focused mission: F&R exists to advance the quality and stability of every project we touch in order to protect people and property.

You won’t find a more dedicated team than F&R. Third-generation minority-owned (VA SWaM #649650 and NC HUB), F&R offers a team that:

  • Meets our deadlines so that you can meet yours
  • Generates fresh ideas to find solutions
  • Is friendly and responsive

As a firm in business for more than 140 years, we know there’s simply no substitute for honest and forthright conversations. We understand the value of listening to your perspective. We gather a panel of clients every year for a listening session. Here’s what we heard:

“What is most important to you about the services at F&R?”

  • When F&R is on the project, it’s being done right. F&R is the insurance policy that allows me to sleep at night.
  • You keep us out of trouble. You think about what you can do above the minimum.
  • The F&R team is another set of eyes and ears for us. What might be a minor problem now can become a major issue down the line. How the building looks 10 years after it opens is what counts.
  • For a building we purchased, when we asked what needed to be done and how much it was going to cost, F&R had that information for us.
  • The F&R contact is so familiar with my site…We get the phone calls to correct things before they get out of hand – that’s client service.

“What makes the ideal consultant?”

  • One who listens to our needs
  • Consultants who can build a working relationship
  • A firm that is a team player
  • One who can keep an open mind and understand there’s not always one ideal answer, but knows that multiple solutions can solve the problem
  • Someone who is credible, reliable, and transparent
  • A professional who looks at everything: “My crazy idea to solve this is…”
  • Consultants who are transparent, open to having tough, honest conversations
