About 2bn contracting
2bn contracting is a woman-owned construction company headquartered just outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. More than just a turnkey general and specialty subcontractor, we strive to be a true partner on every project—delivering expertise, reliability, and innovation from start to finish.
Founded in 2021 by Theresa Ortiz, a seasoned professional in the commercial construction industry, 2bn contracting was born from a vision to bridge the gap for qualified women- and minority-owned suppliers and subcontractors. Theresa recognized the challenges underrepresented groups face in the industry and set out to build a company that not only delivers exceptional construction services but also empowers others to reach their full potential.

our mission
Our mission is 2fold:
-
Deliver top-tier construction solutions across specialty trades, residential, and select commercial scopes.
-
Foster opportunities for women, minorities, and disadvantaged individuals in the construction field.
Having navigated the complexities of the industry herself, Theresa and the 2bn contracting team are committed to helping others discover their strengths, grow their careers, and achieve lasting success.
Every project we take on—whether as a general contractor or specialty subcontractor—is built on a foundation of quality craftsmanship, clear communication, and genuine partnership. Our team combines skilled union labor with disciplined project management systems, ensuring each job is delivered safely, efficiently, and to the highest standards.
At 2bn contracting, we build more than structures—we build trust, opportunity, and lasting relationships.
