GC3

What GC3 does

GC3 Builders is a full-service general contractor specializing in the reconstruction of commercial properties following natural and man-made disasters for large loss insurance claims. Founded circa 1990 and headquartered in West Des Moines, Iowa, the company operates across 48 states and serves commercial insurance carriers and policyholders, with additional vertical exposure to higher education, industrial agribusiness, restaurant franchises, multi-unit residential, and faith-based organizations. Over three decades, GC3 has rebuilt more than $3 billion in insured property value across 1,000+ structures.

The company delivers an integrated service stack consisting of Loss Consulting (inspection, reporting, and claims facilitation), Mitigation Management & Oversight (triage and remediation coordination with exclusive partners BioSweep and ServPro), Estimating (Xactimate-based budget development), and Reconstruction (full restoration). Core technology includes Xactimate estimating software and Matterport 3D scanning, both bundled into consulting engagements at no incremental cost to the client. Reconstruction is delivered through an exclusive vendor network of trade partners developed over 30 years, and the firm backs project budgets with a Budget Build Guarantee that commits to completing work within the agreed amount among GC3, the policyholder, and the carrier.

GC3's go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-based, relying on direct field sales by loss consultants who work with insurance adjusters and policyholders, supplemented by a website-based "Submit a Loss" intake form and project case studies. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional or private equity ownership; leadership includes CEO Daniel Endicott and COO Todd Anthony, supported by an 11–50 person team of loss consultants, estimators, and project managers. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with revenue generated through professional services fees on each engagement.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Paul Davis Restoration: Paul Davis is a national franchise network providing residential and commercial restoration, reconstruction, and emergency services. Overlaps with GC3 in restoration/reconstruction but is predominantly franchise-driven with significant residential exposure, whereas GC3 is purely commercial.
• BELFOR Property Restoration: BELFOR is the largest global commercial and residential disaster recovery and restoration franchise, providing emergency response, mitigation, contents restoration, and reconstruction. Comparable to GC3 across all four core service lines (consulting, mitigation, estimating, reconstruction) but operating at materially larger scale with national/global surge capacity.
• Interstate Restoration (now part of First Onsite): Interstate Restoration / First Onsite is a large North American commercial restoration and reconstruction firm serving insurance carriers on large-loss claims. Overlaps directly with GC3's commercial reconstruction focus and MSA-driven carrier model.

Direct peers

• BluSky Restoration Contractors: BluSky is a commercial-only restoration contractor offering mitigation, contents, and reconstruction services to insurance carriers and commercial property owners across the U.S. Most directly comparable to GC3 in the commercial-large-loss insurance niche, with a similar national carrier-panel go-to-market.
• Cotton Holdings: Cotton Holdings is a national commercial disaster recovery and reconstruction firm serving insurance carriers on large-loss claims. Operates an integrated model — consulting, mitigation, contents, general contracting — closely paralleling GC3's loss-consulting-through-reconstruction stack.
• Blackmon Mooring & Associates (BMS CAT): BMS CAT provides commercial fire, smoke, water, and contents restoration plus reconstruction for insurance carriers nationwide. Comparable in the commercial large-loss space and historically similar in carrier-panel-driven GTM.

Others

• Roto-Rooter / RotoRooter Services Company: RotoRooter, while primarily plumbing/drain, also operates water-damage mitigation and restoration services. Tangential adjacency to GC3's mitigation management line and broader insurance restoration ecosystem.

Emerging players

• ServPro Industries: ServPro is GC3's exclusive mitigation partner but is itself a national restoration franchise operating in adjacent lines (mitigation, cleanup, light reconstruction). Treated here as an emerging/adjacent player rather than direct competitor because GC3 leads reconstruction while ServPro executes mitigation services.
