G&C Fab-Con designs and builds national cemeteries for the United Stated Department of Veterans Affairs. We build, like no other, a beautiful place where the ones who were left behind can come and feel at home, at peace and may demonstrate those feelings of loss. A place where the service member will know that his/her family feels safe, welcomed, honored and among friends who, too, have come to be near, to reflect and to remember. We produce results that are to the satisfaction of the owner, the Department of Veterans Affairs, at a fair price and in a timely manner. The same regard is extended to the employees of G&C Fab-Con. As we strive to establish and maintain a long term relationship with the Veterans Administration, so do we with our employees. We will create a safe working environment, with the necessary tools needed for our people to perform to the best of their ability. The owners are dedicated individuals who place quality and integrity before profit. With these objectives in mind, we will grow to become the premier construction company dedicated strictly to this niche of our society.
