What happens when a finance and economics graduate navigates the rocky job market of 2009-2010? For Brian Beck, it became the unexpected gateway into the world of construction that would eventually lead to founding FXBG Construction, a premier residential contractor in Fredericksburg.
Brian's journey unfolds as a masterclass in building a business with integrity. From his early days working for someone flipping houses to establishing his own construction company with his wife as partner, Brian shares how values shape business decisions. "I'd rather spend more money to have it done right the first time," he explains, revealing how past disagreements about quality standards ultimately pushed him to forge his own path. This commitment to excellence has allowed him to maintain relationships with the same crews for nearly a decade—a remarkable achievement in an industry known for high turnover.
What truly sets FXBG Construction apart is their thorough pre-construction process. While many contractors rush to start projects, Brian's team invests significant time upfront selecting everything from shower fixtures to cabinet knobs before breaking ground. "We are very big on the front end, slow to start," he notes, "but that way, once the construction process goes, it just rolls through." This methodical approach eliminates surprises and change orders that often plague renovation projects. Perhaps most telling is Brian's practice of testing new tradespeople on his own home first—ensuring only proven professionals work on client projects.
Whether you're planning a high-end bathroom remodel, kitchen renovation, basement finishing, or a custom deck with exotic hardwoods, Brian's insights offer valuable guidance on choosing the right contractor.
