“Delegation was the missing piece. That’s what allows us to scale, not just survive.”
A Name with Weight
The name Forged Construction is no accident. It is a declaration .
“Being forged is a painful process, but it’s always a good thing,” Brad says. “That’s where the best tools are made. And as a firefighter, I very much appreciate the fire and the work that it does.” To Brad, the word forged is about more than fire and metal. It’s about resilience, transformation, and the strength born when pressure refines character.
Building for Glory, Not Ego
In an industry often measured in speed and profit, Forged Construction pursues a higher purpose. “I joyfully build for the glory of God, not for my own” Brad affirms. “That fixes everything—how I treat my crew, how I treat my customer. When we do work, we do it as if it was a gift we were presenting to the God who built us and built our world.” For Brad, faith isn’t a quiet undercurrent— it’s the framework of every project. The Art of Brutal Honesty
Brad’s approach with clients is refreshingly direct. He believes in confronting hard truths at the beginning, not after the contract is signed. “If I’m going to be brutally transparent with a customer, I’m going to disappoint them as much as I possibly can at the outset,” he explains. “I’ll tell them, ‘You can’t afford this.’ Or, ‘With that budget, your finishings will be so low-end you’ll wish you had a smaller, more quality home.’”
That honesty creates trust.
“Everyone says under promise, over deliver,” Brad says. “But I think that can turn into laziness. The goal is to promise everything that needs to be promised—and deliver on them.”
