"I’ve been with Frana for 24 years, working my way up from a 0 hour apprentice to a Foreman. I have stayed at Frana because of the respect and the trust that has been given to me throughout the years from my Superintendents, Project Managers, and Upper Management. It has always been a safe, and fun working environment, getting to know my co-workers and developing a bond with them at work and even outside of work. Working with Frana is like working with family, it is such a great dynamic to be a part of."

Our team consistently delivers top-quality work, and it’s truly amazing to see the vast number of buildings that Frana has constructed. Everywhere I go in the Twin Cities and surrounding metro areas, I see Frana buildings that I have contributed to and it’s humbling to think that theses buildings will outlast me, leaving a lasting mark on history."
