Client & partner reviews

“Gordon’s Castle demonstrated the agility required in adjusting to the unpredictable challenges that arise in renovating any depression-era building. As challenges arose, the construction team consistently demonstrated the ability to not only identify problems but to be proactive in developing solutions…… Supported by the team, in particular, Jimmy Martin, Job Superintendent, and his talents and expertise in customization, we were able to capitalize on these challenges and create a product that boasts of unique features and gives it a truly special quality.”

Delores Barr Weaver / J Wayne Weaver, The Condominium At John Gorrie (68 Units)

“We commend Mr. Sutton and his company for their excellent workmanship, professionalism and attention to detail. Deadlines for completion were met and we are enormously proud of the improvements and renovations to our campus.”

- Dr Davy Parrish, President / CEO, The Bridge Of Northeast Florida.

Value EngineeringThe talented team members that work on a project’s feasibility, and ultimately the construction, understand that client service means being opportunistic in reducing costs and providing additional value for the client at all times. We utilize creative ideas and solutions that only come with experience in the field and in-depth industry knowledge. We make it our priority to understand the goals and expectations of each client and dedicate our expertise to facilitate those objectives.

Pre-constructionThere is more to advancing a project’s objectives than alternative construction cost exercises. The Gordon’s Castle Team embraces the entire life cycle of a project including walking the property for constructive suggestions, and meeting with architects and engineers during the early design phase. We have developed our reputation of quality and distinction through a concerted effort to coordinate and collaborate with all of the professionals on a given project. Achieving our clients’ goals is our number one objective.

ScheduleProperly managing the project schedule and field supervision are key areas of focus for our managers. At Gordon’s Castle, scheduling begins as part of the bid process and reflects planning level protocols as well as communication with subcontractors. That process creates a system of accountability before the project starts and is further managed during construction through advanced scheduling applications. GCLLC utilizes premier scheduling software that affords great accuracy in tracking and providing real-time updates for our clients. Gordon’s Castle, LLC understands that delivering a project on time is critical to success. From start to finish the GCLLC team is organized to achieve that standard of excellence at every turn.
