Gohres Construction Co. is a privately held
corporation headed by the majority stockholder and President Marc Gohres. Founded
in 1965 by Phillip H. Gohres, Gohres Construction Co.
has a long history of commercial construction. The business started operations
in Orange County, California
with one of the most notable projects of that period being the construction of
the Martin Aviation facility at Orange
County's John
Wayne Airport.
Through the years the company found success in other commercial construction
ventures, including office/retail, industrial, multifamily, residential tract
homes, and extravagant custom homes. Gohres Construction has established a
reputation for quality and performance while providing outstanding service and
cost. With an unlimited general contractor’s license in both Nevada
and Arizona, along with several
other sub-trade licenses, the company has focused on the immense growth that
the Las Vegas Valley
has seen over the past two decades.

In early 1992 the company started a division in Las
Vegas, Nevada, headed by Phil's
oldest son, Marc Gohres. As the fastest growing city in the United
States, the opportunities in the construction
industry here are unlimited. Gohres Construction has several impressive
projects and achievements to their credits, including the prestige of being in
the top 400 largest builders as reported by Professional Builder magazine for
five years in a row. Gohres Construction and it's subsidiary companies are the
developers and builders of the impressive Rancho Del Norte I and II master
planned communities in North Las Vegas, and 1789 condominium units at Villas I,
Villas II, Villas III, Decatur Villas and
Craig Road Villas. As a result, a lot
of people have benefited greatly. Rancho Del
Norte is a $500-million project. Gohres Construction has put a lot of people to
work and have thereby strengthened the local economy considerably. Rancho
Del Norte has over 2,000 homes, representing
six successful builders. In addition to two city parks, exercise stations and
other amenities, it also features a 600,000 square-foot shopping center
complex. Despite the risk of pioneering the development of a community in a
part of town not accustomed to such benefits, Rancho Del Norte was an
immediate, award-winning success. Gohres Construction was proud to bring the
first planned unit development in the city of North Las
Vegas along with the general infrastructure.
Other developers followed the Gohres lead,
transforming the area into one of the fastest-growing sections of the Las
Vegas valley, and earning the nickname the "Golden
Triangle." Our masonry division specializes in commercial masonry, shell
buildings, precision CMU applications, block walls, brick, veneering and
stonework. We strive to achieve the highest quality workmanship at the lowest
possible prices without sacrificing service. Our crews use the latest in radio
communications and wireless Internet technologies to ensure the best possible
service is maintained on every job site. Gohres Construction Co., Inc. has an
aggressive demeanor with respect to reinvesting profits from its operations
into new ventures. Our organization structure has proven to be very successful
by creating separate corporations or LLC’s for each project, while always
protecting the strength of the parent company. The backbone of the parent
company’s income has been generated from our development and subcontracting
efforts.
The income from our general contractor endeavors
has been separated into subsidy corporations that work together with our
development companies that have been building out the 380 acres of property in North
Las Vegas owed by our former president, William Gohres.
Today, the company continues its managed growth plan with extensive commercial
projects, and is aggressively pursuing the future as we see the Las
Vegas Valley still
full of opportunities. Gohres Construction acquires designs, develops,
constructs and markets properties for either sale or occupancy for our clients.
We achieve this on the basis of providing in demand features to meet the
specific needs of our customer groups via extensive market research and current
supply and demand. Our main focus of all our operations is based in the
geographic location of Southern Nevada with our emphasis
on Las Vegas. Whether it is building homes, shopping
centers, or hotel/casinos, Gohres Construction Co. has the strength, personnel,
technology and vision to succeed in today's competitive environment. The company's Founder,
Phillip H. Gohres, possessed an incredible work ethic and had a simple
philosophy -- absolute client satisfaction. Anything less is unsatisfactory.
Gohres Construction acquires designs, develops, constructs and markets
properties for either sale or occupancy for our clients.
We pride ourselves on our diversity in projects
in any situation. One of our most unique projects was built as a masonry
subcontractor working for Breslin Builders. We were involved in building Nevada’s
tallest structure – KVEG-FM’s radio tower, which is approximately 1315 feet
high. It’s even taller than the Stratosphere. Gohres Construction was responsible
for construction of the CMU equipment building and support enclosures. The
project was unique as it was built right in the middle of the Nevada
desert on top of a mountain. No power or water also proved to be a challenge as
well as the logistics of getting men and materials to the site everyday. Gohres
Construction Co. ensures quality, ethics, performance, competitive pricing, and
on-time project completion. This philosophy and work ethic will continue to be
the legacy, which will ensure success in the future. The cost of quality,
especially in the construction industry, comes at a high price. To remain
competitive our organization structure is very flat with little middle
management. Marc Gohres personally oversees each project and encourages weekly
jobsite meeting with the owners, subcontractors and project managers. With our
streamlined operated and extensive use of the technology available to our
industry today, cost savings are better used for higher quality materials and
highly skilled technicians and laborers. In addition, the company utilizes the
latest in computer-based technologies to lower costs even further. Almost all
administrative functions, from accounting to job scheduling/costing are
completely automated.

At
Gohres Construction, we take a very pragmatic approach to achieving growth by
combining innovation in idiosyncratic services, cutting edge technologies and
processes with overarching business strategies. Our approach ensures our growth
is based on taking full advantage our organization's dynamics. Only by
effectively aligning our product development, business strategy and
organization can we eliminate obstacles to growth and achieve superior
performance, unprecedented growth and maximum profitability.

In
the rush to grow and increase profit, many companies fail to address the root causes
that impede growth, often keeping their focus only on the end goal. As a
result, business plans are developed with tactics that ultimately end up
causing new development and delivery problems or result in relatively small
achievements that run short of the growth objectives that are necessary.
Another important and often overlooked element to implementing a business
strategy is understanding how to leverage organizational dynamics - value
systems, behaviors and culture - to ensure that our organization can mobilize
around activities and that outcome are predictable. At Gohres Construction Co.,
Inc., we feel it is imperative to assess internal and external conditions.
At Gohres Construction Co., Inc., our primary
business value is customer satisfaction and being ethical and truthful. At Gohres Construction Co., Inc., we believe
our values are a statement of our company's intention and commitment to achieve
a high level of performance on a specific qualitive factor. When defining the
values for Gohres Construction Co., Inc., We recognize that in today’s highly
competitive market providing excellent service is not sufficient to satisfy
customers and ensure their loyalty. Our goal is to convert the customer’s
interaction with our company into a thoroughly and unforgettably enjoyable
experience. We pride ourselves in incorporating the following strategies into
our ongoing total quality system.
·
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
o
The
desire and ability of Gohres Construction Co., Inc. to develop and incorporate ways
to improve itself.
·
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
o
The
positive emotional response and satisfaction that the customer feels from
interaction with Gohres Construction Co., Inc. people and products and
services.
·
DEVELOPING PEOPLE
o
The
desire and ability of the company to improve the lot of the employees working
for it. Businesses are most successful when the leaders are not merely
concerned with their interests (sales, profits, success), but with the concerns
of the customers, and even more so to their own employees. Total concern for
employees brings the business to a state of unity, which can attract infinite
accomplishment.
·
INNOVATION
o
The
desire and ability of the company to venture into new, breakthrough areas of
opportunity and expansion.
·
MAXIMUM UTILIZATION (OF RESOURCES)
o
The
desire and ability of the company to improve its performance by full
utilization of its current resources.
·
COMMITMENT TO SOCIETY
o
The
commitment of the Gohres Construction Co., Inc. to focus on the social needs
and aspirations of the society. Their greatest growth occurs at moments when
companies align the development of these internal engines with the explosive
emergence of new forces in society. Companies that can attune their business
strategies to reflect the evolutionary changes of society in several or all of
their growth engines (market, products and services organization, people, and
finance) catch the growing swell of the wave of social advancement. By
synchronizing multiple waves of this energy, they are catapulted forward and
upward to levels ten times or more their previous position.
We have also implemented
the following values, and are of great importance to our company philosophy:
|
Communications
|
Cooperation (Teamwork)

|
Standardization

Gohres Construction Co., Inc.,
underlying long-term objectives are to be a major presence in the construction,
real estate and development sectors. We
believe objectives are only as good as they are implemented into the company at
all levels. To describe an objective in a mission statement is useless unless
it is implemented at all levels of the company. An objective is thus
institutionalized when it saturates all aspects of the business. When it
permeates all aspects of the company, eventually without encouragement or
enforcement it systematically operates on its own through all activities and
job positions. When this is done, the objective has an enormous potential
to energize the company, which leads to dramatically increased revenues and
profits for the firm. Anything less than the full saturation of objectives at
all appropriate levels of the company will not enable the value to bring the
desired positive results. At Gohres
Construction we pride ourselves in achieving that saturation. Gohres
Construction Company sets it goals to be quantifiable, consistent, realistic
and achievable. Our vision for the future is to become one of Las
Vegas most respected, diversified and sought after
business for all markets we are involved with. We believe that with our
outstanding accomplishments in the past, we will not only achieve our goal but
also exceed all expectations. Gohres Construction Co. prides itself in ensuring
quality, competitive pricing, and on-time project completion. This philosophy
and work ethic will continue to be the legacy, which will ensure success in the
future.
