About Fortis

Who we are

Fortis Wall Systems is a South Florida subcontractor specializing in drywall, metal framing and ceilings for commercial construction. With years of experience in the field, we deliver the wall and ceiling assemblies that give every project its shape — on schedule, to spec and built to last.

We are focused on the future of construction. We bring digital modeling, virtual project coordination, prefabrication and Lean construction practices to the jobsite, so our general contractor partners get fewer surprises and more value on every project.

Our story

From Bravo Renovations to Fortis

Where it started

Our story began when founder Luis D. Bravo arrived in the United States from Venezuela and went to work in the field. He learned the trade as a craftsman and later as a field supervisor with local industry leaders. Those years taught him what great GCs expect from a subcontractor: safe crews, clean work and a schedule you can count on.

Bravo Renovations Corp.

Luis founded Bravo Renovations Corp. with co-founder Violeta M. Quijano. The company started with residential projects and quickly earned the trust to take on commercial work. Over the years, Bravo crews completed high-end residential, multi-family, hospitality, office, restaurant, school and hospital projects across South Florida.

Growing into something bigger

As our projects grew in size and complexity, so did our team, our capabilities and our focus. Today nearly all of our work is commercial drywall, metal framing and ceilings for general contractors — and we're taking that work beyond South Florida into new markets like Southwest Florida. The name “Bravo Renovations” no longer told the full story of who we had become.

Becoming Fortis Wall Systems

So we chose a name that does. Fortis Wall Systems is the same company, with the same leadership, license, crews and commitments — under a name that reflects what we do best and where we're headed.

Our name

Why “Fortis”

Bravo means brave. Fortis is Latin for strong and courageous. The new name carries our founder's spirit forward while describing the company we've built.

Strength and reliability

Our walls and ceilings are the structure a building's interior depends on. Fortis stands for work that is solid, square and built to last.

Specialization

“Wall Systems” says exactly what we do: drywall, metal framing and ceiling systems, done by specialists.

Growth

We've grown from renovations into large commercial projects. Our name now matches the scale of the work our GC partners trust us with.

New markets

Fortis is the brand we're taking to new regions as we expand across Florida.
