Froude Management Inc. (FMI), a Vancouver-based construction management firm that has rapidly built a reputation for delivering challenging projects on ambitious timelines. Focused on institutional and healthcare construction, FMI uses lean construction principles in order to create strong relationships with clients, trade partners, and employees. Their approach emphasizes reducing waste, streamlining processes, and maintaining transparency, creating a company culture that thrives on collaboration and accountability. Leading this vision are co-founders Ryan and Fereshteh and Froude, a husband-and-wife team who have turned their decades of experience with one of Canada’s largest contractors into a company designed to deliver projects that truly matter. Founded in 2015, FMI began as a small-scale side venture while the Froudes continued working full-time. “We always knew we wanted to build something of our own,” Fereshteh recalls. “But we didn’t want to be a small renovation firm or limit ourselves to one segment of the industry. We wanted a company that could operate efficiently and handle projects that make a difference.” By 2019, they had committed fully to their vision, just as the pandemic reshaped the construction landscape. Rather than slowing down, the Froudes used the year to refine FMI’s values, systems, and business plan. “We wrote our values and our business plan ourselves, directly from the heart,” Ryan explains. “If we could survive starting up during the pandemic, then our company is bulletproof.” Today, FMI operates across Vancouver and Toronto, with the majority of work concentrated in British Columbia. The company specializes in institutional projects, schools, government NOVEMBER 2025
