About

Built on the ground. Earned through the work.

Stronghold Construction is a family-run sitework contractor based in Spanish Fork, Utah. Founded by brothers Ben and Mitchell Petersen, we built this company on the belief that reliable groundwork starts with honest people and disciplined field operations.

Co-Founder

Ben Petersen

Ben leads field operations and brings hands-on experience across excavation, grading, and heavy equipment management. His background running sitework on residential and commercial projects across Utah County shapes how Stronghold approaches every scope — with practicality, efficiency, and an eye for what downstream trades actually need.

Co-Founder

Mitchell Petersen

Mitchell oversees project coordination, estimating, and client relationships. He ensures that every scope is clearly defined before mobilization and that owners and GCs have visibility into progress throughout the job. His focus on communication and schedule management keeps Stronghold projects on track and crews productive.

How We Operate

The principles that drive every project.

Safety First

Every crew member follows strict site safety protocols. We plan for hazards before they arise and never cut corners where safety is concerned.

Schedule Discipline

We understand that delays on sitework cascade through every downstream trade. We move with urgency and communicate clearly when conditions change.

Clean Execution

Sites are left organized, graded to spec, and ready for the next phase. We treat every turnover as a direct reflection of our standards.

Direct Communication

No runaround. We talk straight with owners, GCs, and project managers so everyone stays aligned from pre-mobilization through final walkthrough.
