Our Story
Who We Are
Building for People, with People
Since 1952, GH Phipps has been building more than structures—we’ve been building trust, relationships, and communities across Colorado and Wyoming. As a 100% employee-owned company, we take pride in delivering quality construction and an exceptional client experience across a wide range of sectors, including aerospace, civic, commercial, healthcare, higher education, and K–12 education. Our legacy is grounded in integrity, strengthened by collaboration, and driven by a shared commitment to excellence. From groundbreaking to ribbon cutting, our story is defined by the people who live, learn, heal, and thrive in the spaces we help bring to life.
Our Mission
To continually enrich the lives of our employees, clients, and communities.
The culture of giving is deeply rooted at GH Phipps—a lasting part of the legacy established by our founder and philanthropist, Gerald H. Phipps.
Giving Back: The 1-60-1952 Volunteer program
In 2012, to celebrate our 60th anniversary, GH Phipps launched 1-60-1952—a volunteer initiative rooted in gratitude and driven by purpose. The goal was simple:
1,952 volunteer hours
60 organizations
In one year
Our employee-owners quickly exceeded expectations, donating over 3,500 hours to nearly 80 organizations across the Front Range in just the first year. Since then, 1-60-1952 has become a defining part of our culture—blending company-sponsored events with individual volunteer efforts that reflect our team’s diverse passions. From charity golf tournaments and diaper drives to fundraising, mentoring, and building alongside nonprofit and faith-based organizations, our people show up to strengthen the communities we help build.
We believe our success is made possible by the communities that support us—and we’re committed to paying it forward, year after year.
70+ Years
Lessons that come from experience are an invaluable source of wisdom. We take the time to learn and grow. Our teams are encouraged to share ideas and problem solve new ways of doing traditional work.
Cohesive Team
Our team culture encourages open communication and comradery. We realize that any good idea is made great when shared with the team. Collaboration and knowledge-share is how we do business.
Reputable History
We are honored to have constructed lasting, iconic buildings in our region. We are appreciative of the trust we have received in our communities and look forward to continuing these valued relationships.
Since 1952
More than 70 years after our founding, we continue to honor the strong foundation GH Phipps was built upon—while looking ahead with purpose, ready to shape the future of our industry and the communities we serve.
