    Testimonial
    "I just wanted to drop you a short note to let you know what a great job the Gephart team did with helping us build our new McGough Headquarters. In everything from preconstruction/design to the execution of the project, Gephart’s people were true team members and fun to work with. The team was always engaged and brought value to all the discussions they were involved in."
