GCLA has been Santa Monica's go-to general contractor for almost three decades. We handle office builds, restaurant fit-outs, home remodels, and public works with crews carrying over a century of combined experience.
From high-rise offices to beachside remodels, GCLA delivers full-service construction across Santa Monica.
We build open-plan tech suites, medical clinics, and law offices complete with low-voice HVAC, fire-rated glass partitions, and ADA-compliant restrooms. Our crews install raised floors for data runs and acoustical ceiling clouds to cut echo. Every build meets LA seismic codes and city energy ordinances for Title 24 compliance.

Since the mid-90s we have delivered offices, restaurants, and homes on time and on budget from Venice to Downtown LA. Our repeat client list proves we deliver.
Every project draws from our network of master carpenters, certified electricians, and licensed plumbers with over 100 years of combined hands-on experience.
We source engineered lumber for straight walls, low-VOC paint for clean air, and porcelain slabs that resist beachside salt spray. Your build looks better and lasts longer.
