What GTG Companies does

GTG Companies (legal name: GTG Construction & Architects) is a privately-held design-build firm founded in 2009 and headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa (mailing address in Johnston, Iowa). The firm offers an integrated suite of services spanning architectural design (architectural plans, structural engineering, interior design, 3D renderings, site selection, feasibility studies, tenant improvements, property condition assessments) and full-service general contracting (demolition, framing, concrete, drywall, flooring, painting, landscaping, excavation). GTG delivers projects through a design-build model that consolidates design and construction responsibility under a single firm, targeting clients across six vertical segments: office and industrial, healthcare, education, commercial and retail, civic and government, and residential.

The firm's customer base includes named healthcare providers (Mary Greeley Medical Center, Story County Medical Center, Methodist Hospital, Des Moines University Clinic, Boone County Hospital), educational institutions (Iowa State University, Drake University, Grandview University, Des Moines University, Des Moines Public Schools), government entities (Iowa Department of Transportation, Iowa National Guard, City of Des Moines, City of Marshalltown), and commercial clients (Impact 7G, i2tech industrial, Canoyer Greenhouse, Charter Bank, Iowa Pork Producers). GTG is founder-owned and operated, with owners Wes Reynolds and Jessica Reynolds leading the firm alongside an office manager, project managers, project engineers, superintendents, a safety director, foremen, carpenters, and site supervision staff. Total headcount falls in the 11-50 range.

GTG operates regionally with primary service in Iowa and select projects in North Dakota. Revenue is generated through project-based, quote-driven design-build contracts rather than disclosed pricing models. Marketing is conducted via the company's website project portfolio and word-of-mouth referrals. The firm maintains an active hiring pipeline through Indeed.com across design and construction roles, signaling ongoing capacity expansion. No external funding, private equity ownership, or public-market activity is disclosed.

• M.A. Mortenson Company: Minneapolis-based national design-build firm with significant Midwest presence. Overlaps with GTG in commercial and institutional design-build delivery but operates at substantially larger scale.
• The Weitz Company: Des Moines-headquartered national design-build contractor and construction manager. A much larger incumbent operating broadly in commercial, healthcare, and industrial segments that overlap GTG's footprint.
