Our History

Current principals; Steve Gehrtz, Dan Kleist, Matt Gehrtz, Brian Berg, Tony Wolf and Tyler Brandriet, have over 130 years of combined experience in the local and regional markets, which gives us a deep understanding of the local construction markets.

GCS is the owner’s advocate on all issues throughout the design and construction phases. The owner’s interests are always placed first in all decisions. We infuse integrity and honesty throughout all design, bidding and construction phases. Taking a “firm but fair” approach to contractors, working with them to ensure specifications and drawings are followed. These factors have a direct correlation to obtaining the most competitive bids from contractors on projects that we manage.

Since our inception, our focus has been advocating for owners and focusing on management of the end-to-end construction process; pre-construction through owner handoff and beyond. Laser-focus on fiduciary and timeline responsibilities has resulted in client success time and again, with the large majority of our clients turning into repeat customers as their business needs continue to grow and evolve. We truly become an extension of our owners’ teams as we move forward, building the future together.

A driving part of our culture is being an active part of the vibrant communities we call home. We offer paid volunteer time for all employees, are active with the Chamber, and have developed a strategic and comprehensive giving strategy targeting organizations that align with our mission of Building the Future Together.

Partnering with local organizations to help further their missions through volunteering, sponsorships, in-kind donations, and advocacy is a key part of our culture. We’re always exploring opportunities for us to come alongside our clients as not just a construction management firm, but as a strategic partner and advocate.
