About Fortified Estates

Historical Beginnings
Fortified Estates was established in the historic city of Philadelphia in 1984. Philadelphia is home to one of the oldest Carpentry Guilds in the world. Fortified Estates has always been a multi-facited company with several divisions, able to service Government, Elite and Residential clients carpentry and construction needs. 

Our international craftsman share a diverse construction background ranging from Commercial, Residential, Industrial, Healthcare, Hospitality, Government, Military and even Traditional Shipbuilding. This mix of specific skill-sets combined provides for the ultimate palette of accuracy, detail and quality.

Thailand & Southeast Asia
Fortified Estates Southeast Asia has been based in Thailand since 2005. Since then we have served the Residential Construction and Superyacht Industry with Fine Carpentry. Our crew consist of skilled, multi-talented Thai artisans whom have been trained by expatriate building professionals. Our teams have worked with only high value projects, wether at land or sea, for over 30 years. 

What makes us special?
We are not a typical construction company. We have our roots in elite specialty construction. Fortified Estates gets it's name from one contract that sparked an idea that has taken us across the globe. Our first "Estate Fortification" was completed in Costa Rica and since then we have traveled to several countries to offer our unique service. The base of our service is high-quality products, materials and thorough craftsmanship in all areas of construction, whether in-house or contracted, we only work with the best.

Although we are based in the U.S. we chose Thailand as our second base of operations because Thailand is South East Asia's best location for logistics, materials and quality craftsman, and it has been for over a thousand years. All of our Project Managers and Lead Carpenters are Expat or visiting professionals, they in-turn train local apprentices in New World techniques.
