Gilmore Construction Corporation
4949 Ironton Street, Denver, CO 80239
The commercial construction company Gilmore Construction Corporation has left an indelible mark on the public and private sectors in Denver, Colorado. The firm—led by Jacob “Jake” Gilmore Jr.—focuses on government, education, healthcare, retail/office, and transportation markets. Over the years, Gilmore Construction has come to be known in the construction industry for its reliability. It’s also well-known thanks to its ability to create the best possible construction experience and outcome for its clients.
One example of the firm’s work on a commercial project is the Kaiser Permanente Lakewood Office Building. Because of the multifaceted nature of the project — which included electrical and mechanical systems replacement and plumbing — Gilmore divided the project into two main phases: mechanical, and building exterior and interior refresh. The first phase involved some isolated roof replacement and the resurfacing of a parking lot that the firm divided into five phases to allow adequate facility parking. The second phase was further divided into 43 more phases that allowed the firm to perform work with minimal impact on the client’s operations. Impressively, the firm actually completed the expansion on the medical office building while it was owner-occupied. The firm’s commitment to site safety and to mitigating the effect of construction dust and noise in the hospital’s environmentally sensitive surroundings was paramount.
