Gilliatte General Contractors

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.” From humble beginnings, Gilliatte has grown into one of the Midwest’s most respected general contracting firms. Today with a team more than 50 dedicated employees Gilliatte General Contractors continues to thrive.
