The Roman Engineer Vitruvius wrote the phrase Firmitas, Utilitas, et Venustas which translates into Strength, Function, and Beauty. This three word phrase summarizes the key components for all buildings. We believe in continuing this tradition that is over 2,000 years old. The name Formitas is a word that combines the word "Form" (meaning arrangement or design) with the word "Firmitas" (Latin for Structure or Strength). We use and write this word daily as a reminder to strive to help create solid lasting structures that serve their occupants well in utility and have a pleasing aesthetic appearance.
