GMI Construction

August 30, 2007

To our valued and respected Clients:

We are pleased to announce that effective October 1, 2007 Alton Builders will be merging with GMI Construction Services.

This is a very exciting event for both companies, for our employees and our clients. Our greatest assets have always been our people, and by joining forces we have just made a huge increase in the quality of that asset.

We are forging a new company with enhanced experience and expertise. Our merger will create a more comprehensive infrastructure with faster response times. It will also produce an expanded base of highly qualified subcontractors that translates into better service at a preferred price for our clients.

This is a merger of two highly compatible firms. Our companies have worked together frequently in the past, and we are longtime personal friends. We hold similar values and philosophies on doing business: producing an excellent job for the client, an emphasis on honesty and integrity, and the importance of bringing a positive attitude to work.

Though we will now operate as one company—GMI Construction Services—you can rely on the same personal working relationships that you have had in the past. You will still be dealing with the same people, and you can depend on the same quality of work.

In early November, we will be moving to our new corporate headquarters at 16411 Scientific Way Suite 200, Irvine, CA 92618.

Please join us as we look forward to an exciting and prosperous future for our employees, our project partners and our clients.

Sincerely,

Gary Monroe
GMI Construction Services
President

Let’s face it, when you’re planning to build or renovate any type of project—industrial, office, retail, educational, self storage or recreational—there’s one thing you want more than anything else.

No, it’s not the lowest construction price. From your past experience, you know the lowest price can often come with broken promises, change orders, and poor performance.

What you really want is a construction firm that will eliminate your pain.

You already know the construction process can be filled with tremendous frustration and angst. Deadlines get missed. Costs come in higher than estimated. Construction quality is less than expected. And no one keeps you informed about the job’s progress or potential problems so they can be addressed before they become costly.

You’ve simply had enough of construction companies with big promises and little execution. Now you’re ready to work with a company you can absolutely trust to get the job done right…on time…and on budget.

At GMI Construction Services, our clients’ trust in our performance is our critical point of difference.

GMI clients know they can count on our passion, honesty and commitment to meet their demanding construction goals and deadlines.

For more than a decade, the GMI team has been building a reputation for unsurpassed quality, timeliness and cost-effectiveness. That’s why so much of our business comes from repeat clients.

We begin each project by listening carefully to your needs, goals, concerns and questions. We take all your input to heart and treat your project as if it were our own—from preliminary planning through final inspection.

The result is a finished product that not only meets your requirements, but truly exceeds your expectations.
