California Dreamin ' GGC Makes Its Mark on High-End Southern California Homes Hollywood has its mega producers and directors like Jerry Bruckheimer and Ridley Scott, and it also has its mega-home builders like Gordon Gibson. Gibson obviously isn't a household name, except to the celebrities who live in one of his estates, like William Macy and Kelsey Grammer. His portfolio of high-end real estate features 130 homes he has built in Southern California . So what makes Gibson's Santa Monica-based company, GGC, such a highly sought-after builder of expensive homes? He'll quickly answer that he has a keen attention to detail, a commitment to quality, expert bidding, and meticulous budget oversight. With Gibson teaming with noted architects, his firm has built many of the large-scale custom homes that line the mountainous Mullholland Drive corridor and exclusive streets in Beverly Hills and Brentwood . The price tags on Gibson's homes range from $2 million to $12 million. Gibson wasn't exactly born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He spent his youth in foster homes, but when he was in high school, his great uncle, a plasterer, mentored him. Gibson initially received an apprenticeship with a major Southern California construction company, and after learning all he could after four years and solidifying his relationships, he founded Gordon Gibson Construction. Working initially as a laborer and framing contractor, Gibson started his business constructing small additions and remodeling homes before moving up to new home construction and larger renovations. By the mid-1980s, Gibson was introduced to the large custom home marketplace and a more upscale clientele. Among the many luxury residences GGC built during this decade were 10 premiere properties in the exclusive Beverly Park area of Los Angeles . GGC is also a very hands-on company, which is evident in its approach to the details. Working with the homeowner, Gibson points out the substantial expenditures it takes for basic construction services. Then they are schooled in understanding the cost of the finishes, like the difference between commercially purchased and custom-crafted cabinetry. The company's longevity and track record in the marketplace gives them another advantage in maintaining quality and management control. “The more an owner understands costs, the more prepared he or she is to make decisions based on the true scope of the project,” says Gibson, who for the past 15 years has specialized in building larger estates, multiple custom homes, and major remodels. The firm averages eight to 10 projects annually and range in size from 3,000 to 15,000 square feet. Many of the sub-contractors and individual tradesmen Gibson worked with starting out in the 1980s remain part of the construction team today. As GGC celebrates its 40 th year in business, and with expansion plans on the drawing board, Gibson won't waver from his success formula: “An informed client makes the best partner and assures greater success of the project.”
