Gast Construction Group

What Gast Construction Group does

Gast Construction Group, Inc. is a privately held, full-service construction management firm headquartered at 333 Southern Blvd., West Palm Beach, Florida, operating since 2011 across Palm Beach County. Founded by Allen Gast (President) and Jodi Gast (Vice President and CFO), the firm delivers preconstruction (budget estimates, value analysis, competitive bidding, permitting), construction (project management, subcontracting, scheduling, budget analysis), and post-construction (closeout documentation, warranty) services. Its client base spans three primary segments: commercial property owners and developers (ground-up buildings, tenant improvements), residential property owners (first-time builders through luxury custom homes in Wellington and Palm Beach), and high-net-worth estate owners under a dedicated Gast Estate Management division. Project portfolio includes enterprise work for Palm Beach Marriott Singer Island Resort, Roger Dean Chevrolet Stadium (St. Louis Cardinals batting tunnels), AT&T retail, and Benny's on the Beach, alongside nonprofit and zoological specialty work for Palm Beach Zoo, South Florida Science Center, Clinics Can Help, and Hanley Foundation. Headcount sits at 11-50, organized into preconstruction, operations, field management, and project accounting functions led by a credentialed team including VPs of Construction and Preconstruction, a Director of Operations, and multiple Project Managers.

The firm operates a relationship-led, sales-driven go-to-market model with no proprietary technology platform, APIs, integrations, or AI/ML capabilities disclosed; project execution rests on traditional construction management methodologies supported by a formal vendor/subcontractor application process. Revenue is generated through construction management fees and professional services billings priced project-by-project based on scope and budget — no published pricing tiers exist. Marketing is conducted through the company website, Facebook, and Twitter, and the firm has not raised institutional capital, retaining full founder-family ownership. Distribution is single-country domestic, with all current activity concentrated in Southeast Florida.

Gast Construction Group has been recognized externally for sustained growth and quality, including six Gator 100 Awards from the University of Florida (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2024, 2025), the 2021 AIA Palm Beach Builder of the Year, two Florida AGC Build Florida Awards (2017 Palm Beach Zoo projects, 2020 Private High-End Residential Project), the 2018 AGC Florida East Coast Chapter President's Member of the Year, the 2015 AIA Palm Beach Small Builder of the Year, and 2025 Executive Committee membership in the Economic Council of Palm Beach County.
