"Great companies usually have great leadership with clear vision at the helm, GBI is no exception. Mike Ghilotti and Ghilotti Brothers have consistently demonstrated a commitment to improving the construction working environment by their tireless support of Partnering and the collaborative construction process. He has repeatedly articulated that the owner and the builder are not enemies in the complex endeavor of building public infrastructure. GBI has been a consistent champion of the Partnering process and has completed many successful award winning Caltrans projects to prove it. "

"Over the past 21 years I have worked as a partnering facilitator with the vast majority of the top 25 general contractors in the United States and dozens of mid-sized firms. Ghilotti Brothers, I can assert, is one of the very few who have what I term "institutionalized" a genuine collaborative approach to working with owners, CM's and engineers. By this I mean they consistently engage with project stakeholders on the basis of common goals that often go well beyond their legal requirements or the specs, true teamwork and personal integrity. They seek to understand clients real and often unspoken needs and commit to meeting these, even as project circumstances change, over the duration of the job. Of the twenty or so projects I have been involved in with them, I cannot think of one that has not met our standard of a World Class construction team. "

"My family has a long Marin County history with Ghilotti Brothers dating back some 3 generations. As a child growing up in Marin I was always fascinated with "road work" and construction in general. To me Ghilotti Brothers exemplifies top quality in whatever project they undertake. When I was contracting and building commercial tilt-ups I used Ghilotti for site work and concrete finishing. Always professional and good to their employees, I was pleased with our contractual relationships and final products. Since my retirement from the trades I've had the privilege of being the Executive Director for the Marin Builders Association. Ghilotti Brothers has been a member since its founding and contributed to the success of the organization through many in-kind services and contributions to our very prominent scholarship foundation. Without the likes of the Ghilotti family and more over their commitment to community and the success of others in it, Marin County would not be the place it is today! I am proud to know them, associate with them and am proud of our industry!"

"Thank you and your staff for the terrific job replacing my sidewalk! Since this was part of a permit remodel project, I really appreciated your timely response and dealings with the city inspector. I didn't realize that Ghilotti Brothers contracted for small jobs like mine until I saw your ad in the paper. I am so pleased that your cost was much lower than other estimates I received and the high quality of workmanship and timely project completion were truly exceptional. I will recommend your company highly!"
