There are quite a few people who feel they could predict the
outcome of the following scenario: a young man from a broken home,
lacking discipline and direction, quitting school before reaching
graduation and later spending time in a juvenile facility. Far
fewer people could recognize those events as what shaped one of
Los Angeles’ premier general contractors. In the high-end
residential marketplace, Gordon Gibson Constructions (GGC) is
synonymous with a sophistication and quality that extends much
farther than the actual construction itself, and its founder assures
that each project carries with an approach to fine detail and
workmanship.
Gibson, a North Hollywood native, began his career at the tender
age of 17. After turbulent events lead him to leave school and
examine what his life’s purpose and direction should be,
he was steered into construction by an uncle. With his guidance,
Gibson began work as a general laborer, doing little more than
digging ditches, but began developing the principles of hard work,
integrity, and ethics. Graduating to a carpentry apprenticeship,
and later receiving a general contractor’s license, Gibson
began work on L.A.’s Westside, erecting homes from Malibu
to Santa Monica to prestigious Beverly Park.

Today, GGC is known as a leader on the Westside, recognized as
much for its niche among the large custom-home marketplace as
for its attention to detail. Gibson credits those initial lessons
from his uncle as the values for which he bases his company, and
approaches every job he undertakes with pride.
One of the real benefits GGC has to offer their client base is
what Gibson refers to as “a stellar reputation for per-client
attention.” Gibson prides himself on this reputation, noting
that he is in every construction site, every day: “If I
can’t get there every day, I don’t want to take the
job.” This kind of personalized attention accounts not only
for an ability to meet the needs of all the players present in
a new home’s construction or remodeling, everyone from architects
to designers to the clients themselves, but also lends the specific
benefit of Gibson’s 40 years of experience.
The advantages
of a hands-on contractor dedicated to all aspects of a home’s
development, providing feedback as to improvements, knowledgeable
as a tradesman, and concerned that a home comfortably fit a family’s
lifestyle needs, seem endless. This is why Gibson believes he
has been so successful; he recognizes the difficulty clients face
when choosing a contractor and urges them to make note of a contractor’s
time spent servicing and working in a community. He depends on
recommendations from his clients to further his reputation and
is mindful of the old adage, “One bad word can offset a
thousand good ones.”
Heading into its 40th year GGC has a portfolio topping over 130
projects, including residences for actors Kelsey Grammer, recent
Emmy award winner William H. Macy, and fashion legends Fred and
Betty Hayman. Gibson hopes that in the coming years his principles
of hard work and dedication to quality craftsmanship will continue
to attract and exceed client expectations in the high-end home-building
market.
