Building A Better Future Since 1914
The seeds of Ghilotti Construction Company (GCC) were planted in 1914 shortly after James Ghilotti, a stone mason and master craftsman, immigrated to the United States from Italy and started a stone masonry business in Marin County, California. James came to this country with a young wife, infant son and little more than his own two hands, a strong back, a spirit of service, and a relentless resolve to create a better future for his family.
Throughout GCC’s evolution–from a small construction company building massive blue rock walls in Marin County to one of the largest and most respected general engineering contractors in Northern California and one of the top 400 contractors in the nation–we’ve adhered to our founder’s philosophy: “To earn respect by doing a job well and to do good for the community in which we work and live.”
GCC’s success has allowed us to build better futures for our families and for families across our region. We think James would be pleased.
