“G hilotti Bros., Inc. and the entire Mario Ghilotti family are honored and grateful to be recognized for our organizational excellence by receiving the Best Company in Marin Award, says Mike Ghilotti, president and CEO. “We are even more excited as it commemorates our 110th year in business as well as the advent of our fourth generation Gino Ghilotti joining the management team.” Ghilotti Bros., with approximately 350 employees at peak season, is one of the few general contractors in the Bay Area that can undertake full-service development for the most complex of jobs. To date, approximately 2,500 jobs have been completed. Legacy projects include: renovation of Crissy Field and the surrounding wetlands; rebuild of the block of Lombard dubbed the “crookedest street in the world”; construction of the largest wall west of the Mississippi in Jenner; and, most recently, completion of architectural concrete work at the Golden State Warriors’ new Chase Center home in San Francisco. Ghilotti Bros. projects that enhance the North Bay’s quality of life and safety include a $22 million renovation of Third Street in San Rafael; $3 million in improvements to Garfield Street in Petaluma; and site work at the Santa Rosa Junior College Residence Hall. “Our award-winning partnering process has enabled us to save clients time, money and stress,” Mike Ghilotti says. “By performing all aspects of the underground, foundation, concrete and paving work ourselves, we can eliminate costly schedule delays and scope gaps providing single-source control for our clients.” He adds: “We are extremely excited about the future as we continue to grow and diversify in the construction market.” The company expects an impressive 30% increase in revenue in 2024. The year will mark a new initiative with entry into the job-order-contracting marketplace, where work on the California Department of Technology’s $436 million broadband middle- mile internet project has commenced. On completion, fiber optic high-speed internet service will be available to underserved communities throughout the state. “We owe a lot of our success to our incredible company culture established long ago through our founder’s philosophy—do
quality work, treat your employees with respect and give back to the communities in which you live and work,” says Mike. “But our secret sauce is our loyal and dedicated employees exemplified by the recent passing of Frank Palagi—our fifth brother—whose 68 years of employment set the tone for our new generation of workers.” v v President and Treasurer Mike Ghilotti pictured with Manager of Organi- zational Development Gino Ghilotti.
