Culture at Gardner Builders

We are always in pursuit of raising the bar in construction, practicing our craft with excellence and hospitality, and setting the platinum standard within our industry and beyond. That does not happen without putting the people who do the work first. We believe that an environment that honors our team, trade partners, design partners, and other key contributors to a project allows us to extend all of that good energy to our clients, and, in turn, create memorable, impactful experiences for all involved.

Our number one goal as a company is to create a place where people feel valued, challenged and love to work.

We serve and are rooted in the following communities:

MINNEAPOLIS
2010, the midst of a recession, was a risky time to start a business. Bob Gardner had the vision to reimagine the construction industry, focusing on delivering world-class hospitality for commercial tenant improvement projects. Today, Gardner Builders focuses on commercial healthcare, service, tenant improvement, and ground-up projects.

DULUTH
Our Duluth culture hub was launched in 2016 after being elected as the construction partner for the Wolf Ridge ELC’s Living Building Challenge project. The opportunity to work in and help build this vibrant community sang to us, and our second Gardner location opened on Lake & First shortly after. It has been our longstanding belief that the team should be rooted in and devoted to that community, and our team members live and play here.

MILWAUKEE
Milwaukee was launched in 2018 after two past classmates of UW-Madison rekindled at a conference in 2016. Our team was built by Wisconsin residents who not only knew the area but understood the community that is hard-working, diverse, and full of history. We established an office on the Milwaukee River because we wanted this workspace to be at the center of what feeds the city, both for agriculture and recreation. Aiming to uphold the rich history that this small, big city was built on, we are invested in the projects that help this city thrive.

Our Core Values

1 2 3 4 5

“Gardner is unique in how employees are treated and respected. Senior Leadership demonstrates the ideals of the company and makes all feel empowered to be successful.”

“Of all the construction I’ve done or been around, this company cares about us as employees the most. This is the first time outside of my own construction business that I feel properly compensated for the job I’m asked to do.”

“I believe this company has a strong future due to the fact that we’re at the leading edge of how the industry workplace is changing. We consistently show great team building as well as culture development.”

“At Gardner, I am treated as a teammate, not someone’s secretary. I am able to share my opinion, ask questions, and give feedback as an equal. I truly enjoy the people I work with because of the shared respect and mindsets. “

“Getting to know the Owner, Bob Gardner, and the leadership team like co-worker/friends – they insist on keeping that relationship with all employees. Those things don’t happen everywhere. I knew after experiencing that, Gardner was going to be a great place to work.”

Highlighting Women In Construction

At Gardner Builders, we are energized and inspired by our differences, weaving unique perspectives to move the needle forward and raise the bar in our industry every single day. Across multiple different construction roles, women bring a critical viewpoint and work ethic that is valued and admired. We have grown our team and company with an open mind, welcoming those who are curious and willing to learn and share knowledge, treat others with care, and embody the spirit of hospitality. We have learned what it means to be great humans and great teammates from all we work with, especially the leadership that women bring to Gardner in each role.

While we are highlighting the women on the Gardner team in this video, we are grateful for our female trade partners, brokers, designers, architects, property managers, field engineers, accountants, marketers, lawyers, (and the list goes on) who dive into their work with grit, passion, insight, grace, and strength. We are also beyond grateful for the men who are right there beside us building a phenomenal culture. Let’s celebrate how far we have journeyed and look forward to a bright future, together.
