"Gibbs is a large company with a small
company perspective on customer satisfaction.
Their managers are approachable at all
levels and take ownership of the customer's
needs and timely resolution of issues.
Their quality has been unsurpassed .

precedence for other contractors that
has been difficult to match. Our end
use customers at several exclusive sites
have requested additional assistance
as a result of Gibbs Construction's
excellent products and services provided.
Consistent with their past performance

"I would like to thank you and Gibbs
Construction for the hard work, pride,
forethought and team approach that you
and your company have put into the construction
of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeal
Courthouse. Your superb onsite construction
team has made the entire construction
process smooth . . . The Fifth Circuit
Court of Appeal has been extremely pleased

"As I have told other Catholic priests
planning to build or renovate a church,
I have nothing but admiration and praise
for the outstanding job Gibbs has done
for us. The fifty or so other monks
who reside here share that opinion .
. . The renovation of our church was
a particularly complicated endeavor
because it involved preservation and
restoration of murals by a team of specialists
and provision for a new organ. Representatives
of Gibbs Construction Company demonstrated
considerable skill in collaborating
with the above mentioned artists and
organ builders as well as with designers,
architects, structural, electrical and
mechanical engineers, and consultants
of various sorts. In sum Saint Joseph
Abbey has been very pleased with Gibbs
and would not hesitate to engage the
services of this company on another
occasions or recommend to others."

"On behalf of all those associated with
UNITY for the Homeless, I would like
to acknowledge and thank Gibbs Construction
for the tremendous effort put forth
to renovate the McDonough No. 10 school
building for use as transitional housing
. . .The other aspect of the project
worthy of note has to do with the relationships
developed between UNITY and Gibbs Construction.
True dialogue and discussion was followed
by incorporation of our ideas and needs
into the design. The respect and dignity
you and your colleagues demonstrated
toward UNITY was coupled with your ability
to translate our vision of the building
into reality. The result is a living
and working environment where a sense
of community can be created."

"As we look back at the Upper Roadway
Canopy project, there is much to be
proud of. With the leadership of Gibbs
Construction and your team of sub-contractors,
a unique and functional solution has
been realized - all within the existing
constraints of a busy airport. I personally
would like to thank both superintendents,
Wade Sr. and Jr., for their caring and
sensitivity to the design integrity
as well as their effort in meeting an
aggressive construction schedule . .
. This was an extremely challenging
construction project - working mostly
night shifts, and at times around the
clock; your company consistently rose
to and met the challenge. The accelerated
schedule never overwhelmed your team."

"Thank you and Gibbs Construction for
the diligence, pride, and teaming approach
asserted throughout the construction
of the 'Upper Level Canopy Project.'
This project shall always serve as a
reminder of how the public benefits
from the synergy created through open
communications between owner, designer,
and contractor/subcontractors. Your
company's continuous cooperation proved
to be crucial to conquering each challenge;
Gibbs' effort assured the success of
the project and the needs of our client,
. . .the City of New Orleans!"

"The museum project
was a particular challenge because of
a major scope change halfway through
the project. The scope change was to
change the building from a training
center to a museum. Gibbs Construction
was able to provide cost control by
furnishing pricing information to the
Architect and Client in a timely and
accurate manner. Furthermore the scheduling
expertise for this restoration provided
extremely beneficial in accommodating
the man power needs and providing a
smooth work plan between the sub-contractors
. . . Gibbs is always willing to go
that extra mile, to make their client
happy."
