GCC Enterprises LLC, a highly recognized leader in planning and construction services, based in the Dallas-Fort Worth area–was founded in 2002 by Greg and Carol Cody. The Air Force veteran duo utilized their established consulting portfolio to transition the business to a full-service construction firm in just a few short years. The company was awarded several government contracts including work at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, FEMA, U.S. Department of Defense and others. ‘Building structures and relationships that last’ is the mantra at GCC and relationships are critical to the success of the firm. By developing partnerships with key players like Austin Industrial and other GCC has been able to grow their business to include projects in the municipal and educational arenas.
Developing Relationships that Drive Value
One of the most recent partnerships GCC has developed is with the Methodist Hospital System. Charged with a strategic objective to utilize minority-owned businesses when possible, and using services provided by the Impact Professional Group, the connection between GCC and Methodist Hospital System was a good fit.
Don Lee of The Impact Professional Group (IPG), commented, “Over a 7-year period, [IPG] in conjunction with Methodist Hospital System established a successful Small and Minority Business program that led to an opportunity for an upcoming project. GCC was at the top of the list for consideration as Prime Contractor for a project with Methodist Hospital.”
Scott Simon, Senior Project Manager for Methodist Health System said, “We (Methodist) needed a contractor that was not only a partner, but also be very collaborative with the entire team (owner, arch., engineers and trade partners). Because of our aggressive schedule, once we decided on GCC, it was evident that we made the right choice. GCC has gone above and beyond by taking the bull by the horns, leading the charge to make this not only a successful project but a beautiful building for the community that it serves.”
By establishing agile partnerships to meet customer needs, the GCC Enterprises name is quickly becoming synonymous with value in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. The future at GCC looks bright as the leadership team continues to drive a business development strategy that will position the firm as a key EPCM player.
“As the landscape changes we want to offer more services that make sense in our field. We are taking steps to develop partnerships, and employ technology that can drive costs down in a project to get better value for our customers with end-to-end EPCM services.”
