Testimonials

Please share my deep appreciation to all members of Gerding Builders for the successful projects we have shared over the years. I have always valued the highly capable skills, the ethics and the professionalism displayed by Gerding Builders in addition to the pleasant and enjoyable experience each project has been for me personally.

The biggest takeaway from the LBCC project was your capacity to listen to us throughout, no matter who it was in your organization. We felt heard in the planning and design phases and throughout the project. With a highly visible project there was a lot riding on getting this right. The quality of communication with your team was what we needed to ensure the end result exceeded our expectations.

Partnering with Gerding Builders on this project was the best decision we could have made! The Gerding Builders team understood what needed to be done with proper phasing and quickly jumped in and started helping me plan and identify and solve problems. They helped with permitting with the city as well as preconstruction feedback on the new building and site designs. They simply got things done.
