PHILOSOPHY

Govan Brown is proud to be an outlier in our industry – we believe in a rigorous work ethic and challenging convention to establish new standards in how and what can be built. We’re the construction disruptors with a purpose.

We are invested in building projects that move the needle when it comes to the convention to produce something truly special – an experience of building that harnesses creativity brings together unique perspectives and creates a meaningful impact on the way we live, work, and play. We have the advantage of leveraging our global network of partners through our merger with our parent company, STO Building Group. This means that we are able to pull lessons learned from the most progressive projects globally in virtually every industry to ensure our clients are receiving solutions that position their buildings ahead of the curve when it comes to the latest innovations.

Our philosophy is based on instilling trust and operating with transparency at each and every stage. We believe that knowledge empowers all team members to operate at their best and equips them to make well-informed decisions that pave the way to successful outcomes. We are guided by honesty and integrity and hold ourselves accountable for the promises we make.  At the heart of this impetus is a drive to promote collaboration – we believe in building teams that are working together towards a shared goal.

Work Smart. Play Hard. Give Back. This motto has been deeply woven into who we are as an organization.

Our ability to work smarter has paved the way for our organization to become one of the most progressive and technologically advanced construction leaders in our marketplace. It is our responsibility as an industry leader to continually look at new technologies and platforms which will support our clients and partners with reducing risk, cost and providing the utmost flexibility for a quickly evolving landscape. We believe in simplifying complexity throughout every phase of construction.

We are a dynamic, fun, and caring group of people who always have your best interest at heart. Large or small, east coast to west coast, we will deliver solutions that fit your unique needs. No matter when or why you call, we pick up the phone. You can count on us. We believe in coming together to build differently.
