Fortera is a third‑party resilience consulting firm serving the Southeast, focused on reducing wind and water risk through verified performance from roof to foundation. Founded by Carl Schneider, an insurance industry expert with over 35 years of experience, Fortera bridges the gap between construction, risk mitigation, and insurance.

We specialize in evaluating the critical details that matter most—structural connections, load paths, roof attachment, openings, and water entry points—then validating those details in the field. Fortera translates on‑site findings into clear, insurer‑ready documentation that supports mitigation credits, reduces insurance premiums, and empowers clients to make informed, resilient building decisions.
