Our Story
At Fornidos, we believe building homes should build hope.
Founded in Dallas, Texas, Fornidos is a Christian-based, minority-owned company created to bring innovation, integrity, and affordability back to home construction. Our mission is simple: to make durable, beautiful homes attainable for everyone — individuals, families, builders, and communities alike.
After years of working inside the traditional housing industry, we saw how broken it had become — slow, expensive, and inaccessible to most. So, we reimagined the process from the ground up. The result is the Fornidos HomeSystem™ — a first-of-its-kind, nationally certified building system with pending patents that transforms home construction into a faster, more efficient, and more sustainable process.
Each Fornidos home is built from a series of precision-engineered panels — the foundation, walls, and roof — designed to fit together seamlessly, forming a complete home system. Every panel includes its structure, insulation, and finishes already built in, allowing homes to be assembled in days instead of months. Best of all, the system is designed so that standard on-site construction crews can install it easily using familiar tools — no special equipment or retraining required.
Our technology is certified by the International Code Council, the same organization that establishes and oversees the U.S. Building Codes — proof that these homes aren’t experimental. They are real, permanent housing, trusted by inspectors and approved for mortgage financing.
From shelters and Accessory Dwelling Units to single-family homes and large-scale community developments, Fornidos provides the tools to build faster, smarter, and stronger — while keeping faith, family, and service at the heart of everything we do.
Fornidos isn’t just changing how homes are built.
We’re helping restore what home means — security, opportunity, and belonging — one panel, one project, one family at a time.
