Marks Clearing & Grading hires Justin Fanning as vice president of commercial estimating
Fanning has more than 25 years estimating commercial and multifamily sitework and relocated from the Washington, D.C., area to help grow the company's commercial division.
Justin Fanning has spent more than 25 years estimating commercial and multifamily sitework: calculating what a job will cost to build. Fanning has relocated from the greater Washington, D.C., area to help grow the commercial division of Marks Clearing & Grading in North Carolina.
The company announced on June 5, 2026, that Fanning has joined as vice president of commercial estimating. Fanning brings an understanding, the company says, of the early planning those jobs require.
The hire follows John Dodd, who joined in April as vice president of commercial operations.
In March the company said it employs 215 people and works within about 75 miles of Raleigh.
What drew Fanning, the company said, was the culture it calls "Faith, Family, and Dirt," and the growth plan.
