Mark Capovani
Director of Construction
Originally from upstate New York, Mark now resides in the Raleigh-Durham area, where he directs the commercial projects for Forte Construction.
After running his own residential and commercial company in New York, Mark spent the better part of 16 years with one of the premier MHPI partners, Corvias Group, where he acted in various project management and directorial roles for their mil-con and military housing construction program.
He spent time overseeing work at multiple naval stations, and later had extended stints at Fort Polk, Fort Bragg and Eglin Air Force Base before serving as the Director of Development within the Campus Living portfolio for Corvias Group, where he helped expand their housing inventories.
Mark later began working as a project manager for a general contractor, Paragon Construction, which led him to manage large lodging and housing renovations more directly at Hunter Army Airfield and Fort Lee.
His experience in MHPI construction and as Project Director for Corvias built the foundation for what Mark considers his greatest strength. During his tenure, he gained a vast programmatic perspective and an in-depth and intensive knowledge of the privatization initiative.
With experience developing military construction projects from ground up, overseeing extensive renovations on multiple bases, and now working with Forte to oversee the procurement of projects as well as their safe and well executed completion, Mark has genuinely seen every aspect of the MHPI program since its inception and carries tremendous experience and a well-rounded understanding to our clients’ projects.
In his free time Mark enjoys expressing his artistic side by creating sculptures and carvings in multiple mediums such as wood, metal and concrete. Along with his wife Kerri and their energetic Labrador, Sambuca, they spend a great deal of time cooking and enjoying the outdoors.
