Our History
Gil Johnson founded GE Johnson Construction Company in 1967 with a vision of building client relationships through innovative project services and by delivering on our commitments. A pioneer in the CM/GC project delivery approach, Gil instilled a culture of exceeding client expectations throughout the Rocky Mountain Region. In 1997, Gil’s son, Jim assumed the role of President and continues to lead our firm in this role.
Today, GE Johnson is an employee-owned corporation with a resume of $6 billion in completed projects ranging from $10,000 to over $240 million; over 90% of which comes from repeat clients. The company headquarters remain in Colorado Springs, and we maintain fully staffed offices in Denver and in Jackson, Wyoming. Our project experience spans from Michigan to California; Idaho to New Mexico, and we are invested in the communities in which we work through our Corporate Social Responsibility efforts.
Staying true to our founding values has earned us the distinction of Contractor of ChoiceSM. Maintaining that distinction means doing the right thing, acting with integrity, and taking extraordinary care in everything we do. We are disciplined in enhancing our skills, embracing technology, and working as a team. At our core, we are dedicated to delivering the best services and solutions to produce great value.
