G.S.S. Companies, Inc., a full-service general contractor based in Scottsdale, AZ, was founded in 1984 by Tim Smith. Over the years, the company has grown significantly, transitioning from residential projects to a focus on highquality commercial and industrial manufacturing projects. “We started small, working mostly in the residential space,” says Tim. “But as we developed our skillset, we moved into larger commercial and industrial projects, and that’s really where we’ve found our stride.” Tim notes that, as the company evolved, G.S.S. has developed a reputation for quality workmanship, nimble cost-control measures, and a commitment to delivering projects that meet the most detailed specifications. This is evident in the company’s recent work and its track record of completing projects on time and within budget, despite the scale and complexity involved. With nearly 40 years of experience in the industry, the company has built a solid foundation of knowledge, expertise, and relationships. Today, G.S.S. is known for taking on medium-to-large-scale projects such as a recent gypsum plant in Eloy, AZ, and a glass factory project in Buckeye, Arizona—both of which highlight the company’s capability to handle highly complex, large-scale builds. “We’ve built a reputation for taking on and completing some of the more challenging projects out there, and that’s what sets us apart,” says Tim, adding, “…while the core of our business is new facility builds, we also have a very strong industrial service and maintenance contracting division.” Max Smith, the company’s Operations Officer, echoes Tim’s sentiments, highlighting the importance of relationships in G.S.S.’s success. “A big part of what’s made us successful is our longterm relationships with subcontractors, many of whom we’ve worked with since the ‘80s.” Tim further explains, “I’ve grown up in the trade with them. We know their work, they know ours, and that consistency helps us maintain the level of quality we’re known for.” This long-standing collaboration with subcontractors, along with a deep understanding JANUARY 2025
