Do your best work on every job and treat everyone like family.
Gilliatte General Contractors was founded more than 30 years ago in Indianapolis and has since grown into one of the Midwest's most respected general contracting firms. Our experience and integrity have allowed us to deliver projects on time and with unmatched standards of quality. With a team of over 50 dedicated employees, we are proud of what we've built and excited to build the future.
Our History
Gilliatte General Contractors was founded in 1985 by Gerry Gilliatte, using a $10,000 personal loan and some space in his garage. In 2004, Gerry retired, selling the business to son Adam Gilliatte (1996 to present) and company president Tom Ritman (1987 to present). Since then, Tom and Adam have been at the helm as partners. Raised by fathers in the industry, both "cut their teeth" in construction. Together, they have continued the unwavering example set by Gerry - "do your best work on every job and treat everyone like family."
