I have utilized Gunnell Construction for tenant improvement construction work since their inception in 1998. Over this 17 year period Gunnell Construction has completed many projects for my organization, ranging from small to very large with project scopes from simple to complex. Regardless of size and scope, the outcome has always been the same; Gunnell Construction produces top quality construction every time. The personnel at Gunnell Construction are professional, experienced, and knowledgeable of the challenges and complexities in performing construction work in high-rise office buildings.

I have worked collaboratively with Jeff Gunnell and continue to utilize his knowledge and experience to help us value engineer our projects. I am comfortable that his suggestions and ideas reflect our desire to produce top quality construction as economically as possible.

BTV Development, LP has engaged Gunnell Construction in the performance of tenant improvement work in the past few years at our Crown Corporate Center development. Gunnell was engaged to do the TI for the State of California Administrative Office of the Courts which was approximately 36,500 square feet of improvements.

Gunnell was very professional and experienced in all aspects of their work. Their cost estimation was accurate, timely, and professionally presented. Their job site was run in an efficient manner and their communication with us was regular and informative. Our weekly meetings with the user (State of California) were helpful in keeping the user current on the status of the TI. There were very few change orders other than those prompted by user requests.

BTV recommends Gunnell for tenant improvement work and we intend to obtain bids from them for TIs in the future.

It has been a pleasure working with Jeff Gunnell the past ten years. Gunnell Construction, Inc. is one of our preferred general contractors and remains one of our few preferred contractors due to this company’s professionalism.

Many of our construction projects begin with the need of pre-construction services that include a realistic budget and schedule for both landlord and tenant to review prior to proceeding to the next level of commitment. Jeff’s team assists us with timely budgets including a strong understanding of the existing space and any cost considerations that may not appear on the design plan.

Once construction has commenced the process moves smoothly concerning schedule, submittals, and all communication required with me, our design team, and the end user of the leasable space.

Construction of our commercial tenant improvements occur mostly in occupied buildings. Excessive noise and dust is a by-product of this type of work and a landlord’s potential nightmare. Gunnell Construction has the noisy work completed in after-hours fashion so not to disturb our existing tenants. Hallway corridors, flooring, and bathrooms are kept clean to the point that one would not necessarily know a construction project was at hand.

Gunnell Construction, Inc. provides excellent “after project completion service”. Warranties are always honored and any service related calls are taken care of without hesitation.

It has been my pleasure to work with Jeff and his company these past ten years and I look forward to working with him in the future. I strongly recommend Jeff for your next project. When you hire Gunnell Construction, Inc. you can expect great service, on-time delivery of the construction project, quality construction, competitive pricing and service after the project is completed.

In 2013, Jeff Gunnell completed a 30,000+ square foot commercial office renovation for me in midtown Sacramento. The experience of working with Gunnell Construction for the first time exceeded my expectations – something which rarely happens.

My initial decision to select Gunnell Construction was based on the competitive pricing they provided. Pricing, however, is only one aspect of any project. Throughout the construction process, Gunnell Construction and their subcontractors delivered on their promise of providing quality work done on time and on budget.

Construction projects encounter unexpected conditions and a contractor’s fairness in pricing change orders affects the project’s final cost. Gunnell Construction’s change order pricing was fair throughout my project – I believe Jeff is personally responsible for ensuring my project’s final cost was as close to his original bid as possible.

My office project was done with the existing tenant working in the building. Gunnell Construction and their subcontractors performed all work with a minimum of disruption. They did a good job managing tenant expectations and performing work according to the schedule coordinated with the tenant. As a landlord, keeping existing tenants happy during construction matters – in this regard Gunnell Construction did an excellent job.

My first experience working with Gunnell Construction was a very good one. Next month I’m closing escrow on a 36,000+ square foot office project at Watt Avenue and Fair Oaks Boulevard. When it’s time to bid new tenant improvements, I plan on calling Jeff to bid this work.

We have worked with Jeff Gunnell for over fifteen years and during that time his company has completed numerous tenant improvement projects as well as routine maintenance tasks.

Jeff provides a comprehensive quote for a job. It doesn’t change unless the tenant requests a change or a government agency requires a change. Jeff’s construction experience allows him to offer suggestions which will accomplish the goal of the project and which will benefit the tenant and property owner for the long term. The company crew and the subcontractors that Jeff brings to our projects are conscientious and trustworthy. They clean up the jobsite daily.

We recommend Gunnell Construction without hesitation.
