Gootee Company Profile

Capabilities

 

 

 

Gootee Construction, founded in 1991 by Kathleen Gootee and Elaine Gootee as a Women Owned Business Enterprise (WBE), is qualified by the State of Louisiana Licensing Board for Contractors, License #8, in the following areas: building construction; highway, street and bridge construction; heavy construction; municipal and public works construction; electrical work; and mechanical work. We are also licensed by the State Plumbing Board of Louisiana and the Mechanical Boards in the New Orleans area.

Our managers have more than 200 years of combined experience in the construction industry and have been associated with more than $200 million of construction projects. Our staff members are professionals who are actively involved in many of the construction industry's associations and boards. Gootee staff serve as officers, advisers and teachers to many of these associations.

Our management expertise is supported by state-of-the-art information systems that interface to provide accurate estimating, efficient project management and effective cost-control. We are well known for our proactive and innovative approaches to the challenges that inevitably arise during major construction projects. We have substantial experience bringing difficult and sensitive projects to successful completion.

Gootee's track record includes some of the most prestigious projects in the City of New Orleans, such as the Phase 3 renovation of the Louisiana State Supreme Court at 400 Royal Street and restoration of Building D of the French Market Complex (built in 1822). A representative list of Gootee projects demonstrates the diversity of our capabilities: National D-Day Museum, exterior renovation of the Bradford Building, Addition of Resource Center at Jesuit High School, Cancer Survivors Plaza, HVAC retrofit of New Orleans City Hall, New Orleans Museum of Art (exhibit casework), New Orleans International Airport Concourse D, Willow Street Dorms at Tulane University, Yenni Treatment Center at East Jefferson Hospital, Science Building at Xavier University of Louisiana, and Diefenthal Earthlab and Swamp Exhibit, both at the Audubon Zoo.

Of equal importance to our staff, our state-of-the-art technology and our track record, is our fundamental integrity. We believe that our competitive advantage results from the mutual trust and respect that we share with our employees and our subcontractors. Effective teamwork significantly and positively affects our ability to deliver a quality project on time and within budget. We will gladly provide information about our banking and surety relationships on request.
