Working to Achieve Something Better...Something Great Together!
Established in 2004, G.M. Hill Engineering, Inc. (GMHILL) is a Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB/WBE) and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) providing clients with a wide range of design services and building solutions. GMHILL is headquartered in Jacksonville, FL, and has offices in Alexandria, VA, Virginia Beach, VA, Tallahassee, FL, Panama City, FL, Beaufort, SC, Columbus, GA, Thomasville, GA, and Houston, TX. Over their 19-year history, GMHILL evolved from a sole-proprietor structural engineering firm into a dynamic integrated design-build firm offering architecture, engineering, and construction services to local, county, state, and federal agencies as well as institutional, educational, and commercial clients nationwide and in the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Cuba. GMHILL focuses on client priorities – supporting the mission, advancement of organizational goals, employee productivity, healthy environments, and energy efficiency delivered through innovative design and delivery processes. Led by the talents and insight of its industry leading team, GMHILL has built client relationships founded on trust and sustained by performance. GMHILL promotes sound business practices while fostering an entrepreneurial spirit and the continual professional growth of its employees. GMHILL is among the relatively few experienced design firms that is also a bonded, at-risk, integrated design-build contractor. With a multi-disciplined staff of 65+ professional project managers, architects, engineers, and constructors, GMHILL leverages the team’s skills and expertise for their clients’ benefit – whether it be through the bundling of services or the use of just one. GMHILL plays an active role in the public building market and maintains a strong grasp on the strategies and practices required to operate effectively in this market. Public building projects often involve several owners and stakeholders, hundreds of participants, thousands of planning components, and countless details. GMHILL’s clients have realized the most effective way to manage and control all these moving parts is to have one firm solely responsible for all aspects of project delivery, from developing the program and architectural plans to the construction and final acceptance. Across a wide variety of other markets our clients have also found great benefit and value in this integrated design/build approach. GMHILL maintains strong presence in the Jacksonville metropolitan area through continued community involvement and projects across the region. Currently GMHILL is working with Duval County to provide structural design for the school renovation and rebuilding program that is improving schools and learning environments throughout the district. GMHILL is providing a unique approach to create designs for four schools that are tailored to each school’s needs as the district works to enhance the student learning experience with modern, 21st century school facilities. GMHILL is also working on structural design for the new Terminal B at the Jacksonville International Airport. The new terminal will support the increased growing demands of the city’s travelers. In the past year GMHILL teamed with the non-profit Clara White Mission, to serve as the Design/Build Contractor for the White Harvest Farms project to repurpose land adjacent to the historic Clara White home into production space supporting the urban farm initiative addressing the shortage of fresh food alternatives in this neighborhood. The project evolved from a simple processing, storage, and market space into a centerpiece of the community with expanded indoor and outdoor market spaces, a training kitchen and enhanced processing facilities. The new facility serves the local community helping to bridge the socioeconomic gap and alleviate the food desert. Please see accompanying image. GMHILL understands the importance of community involvement in all areas and regularly provides business to business support, mentoring and training for smaller business partners, facilitation of educational programs, and participation in local philanthropic organizations. Since its founding and to this day GMHILL provides time, resources and donations to organizations that prioritize encouraging students in engineering and science. https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=gm%20hill%20engineering https://www.linkedin.com/company/gm-hill-engineering/
