GH Phipps Construction Companies

Today, GH Phipps celebrates our 72nd anniversary! GH Phipps Construction Companies was incorporated by Gerald H. Phipps on this day in 1952. We have grown beyond our original Denver location to include offices in Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, an equipment yard in Aurora, and our Wyoming branch with offices in Laramie, Casper, and Cheyenne. As one of the oldest general contractors in Colorado, GH Phipps is proud to continue our long-standing commitment to excellence, built on the legacy of Mr. Phipps’ philanthropy and civic-mindedness.

Turning dirt is always a good time, especially with longtime clients like Development Solutions Group! Tuesday afternoon we, along with surgeons from Colorado Springs Orthopaedic Group kicked off construction on a new medical office building in Colorado Springs. Designed by Boulder Associates this two-story, design-build project will offer 40,000 SF for clinical, imaging, physical therapy, DME, urgent care, and administrative purposes and is anticipated to be complete early next summer. Congratulations to the team! #healthcare #WeBuildColorado #webuildco #generalcontractor #construction #constructionindustry #contractor #building #colorado #designbuild #design #ColoradoSprings

???????????????? ???? ?????? ?????????????? | ???????????? ???????????? We're proud to honor Jackie Duarte as our ESOP Employee of the Quarter! Read below to learn why she's deserving of this recognition. Congratulations, Jackie! "In recognition of her exceptional demonstration of GH Phipps' core values and constant focus on mentoring new employees, Jackie has been selected as the Employee of the Quarter for the fourth quarter of 2024. In a remarkably short period of time, Jackie has proven to be an indispensable asset to our team. Her contributions have not only been crucial to the success of one of our largest projects, but she's been exemplary in the way she's stepped up to take on responsibilities beyond the norm. This particular project presented a challenging and less-than-ideal scenario at the time of Jackie's arrival and required someone with both skill and dedication. Jackie rose to the occasion with remarkable grace and capability. What truly sets her apart is her unwavering commitment to both the project's success and the growth of her colleagues. Despite the high demands of her role, she has taken on tasks ranging from critical weekend water-pumping operations to the meticulous coordination of multiple subcontractor trades. No job is too big or too small for her and she approaches each with the same level of enthusiasm and professionalism. Her positive attitude remains a constant, even when faced with challenges. She exemplifies the value of integrity by consistently upholding high ethical standards and delivering quality work. Jackie fosters strong relationships within the team, demonstrating the importance of collaboration and support. Her dedication to teamwork is evident in her willingness to assist others and her openness to feedback, always aiming to learn and improve. Jackie has shown herself to be an outstanding mentor. In guiding a promising new employee, Jackie has not only shared her expertise but also cultivated a supportive learning environment. Her mentorship has significantly contributed to the new employee's development, highlighting her ability to lead and inspire others, even while taking on multiple new tasks herself. Jackie embodies the essence of our core values through her integrity, commitment to building strong relationships, exceptional teamwork, drive for success, and innovative approach to problem solving. Jackie's role as a mentor further shows her dedication to the growth of both the project and her teammates." Thank you, Jackie, for everything you do to make GH Phipps a successful company! #ESOP #employeeofthequarter

November 15 is World Philanthropy Day which celebrates charitable activities around the globe. On this special day, we want to celebrate our recent recognition by the Denver Business Journal with a Partners in Philanthropy award for our exceptional commitment to corporate giving and community service. Philanthropy and community involvement are foundational components of GH Phipps’ company culture. We are especially proud of our 1-60-1952 volunteer program established in 2012 to celebrate our 60th year in business. The program challenges GH Phipps employees to volunteer annually with at least 60 unique organizations (to coincide with our 60th anniversary) across 1952 hours (a nod to the year GH Phipps was founded). Since its inception, we have exceeded our pledge with an average of 86 organizations assisted and 2,775 hours worked. Friends and family members have contributed an additional average of 1,115 hours worked in the last 11 years. #worldphilanthropyday #philanthropy #denverbusinessjournal #partnersinphilanthropy

#WeBuildItWednesday | Kula Sports Performance Headquarters Our Special Projects group recently completed a 22,000-square-foot tenant renovation for the Kula Sports Performance Headquarters. Kula Sports Performance is a training facility designed for all levels of athletes including professional athletes like Christian McCaffrey, Anna Hall, and Janine Beckie, as well as several college and high school sports teams. They use scientific principles and proven methods designed to improve athleticism and develop speed, agility, explosive power, coordination, and strength. The renovated headquarters brings Coach Brian Kula’s unique training system to athletes in a refreshed, modern space. This renovation project included renovating the existing gym space, private offices, and locker rooms along with updates to the existing mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems.

Recently, GH Phipps conducted a safety education “Stop the Drop” session at our Galen College of Nursing project in Aurora. Our HSE Manager, Matt Paull, led the training of over 150 craft people. Hector Tabares with OSHA and Matt Schmidt at 3M/Shur Sales also addressed the group and appreciated getting started on this task force and training. Demonstrations included numerous tethering accessories for multiple tools. Did you know that if the tool or object weighs more than five pounds, you should not attach it to oneself, but rather to a structure? A video of dropped objects was also presented- for example, a six-foot 2x4 dropped from over 30 feet has over 14,000 pounds of force. Four topics covered were: 1. Housekeeping 2. Tool and Equipment Use 3. Barricading 4. Safe Cargo #safety #osha #healthsafetyandenvironment #stopthedrop
