GBI generates revenue through fixed-price and cost-plus construction contracts won via competitive bidding on public projects and direct negotiation with private developers and tribal clients. Customers are diversified across federal, state, county, and municipal agencies (USACE Sacramento, Hawaii DOT, City of Redmond, Maui County DWS), tribal governments (Kootenai Tribe of Idaho, Cowlitz Indian Tribe, Stillaguamish Tribe), institutional clients (Stanford, Kaiser Permanente, Portland State University, UC Merced), large private developers (D.R. Horton, Prologis, Mission Valley Properties, Oak Pointe), and waste management operators (Waste Management).
