» About Us GHSC

SINCE ITS FOUNDING IN 1975, THE GORDON H. SMITH CORPORATION HAS BEEN ON THE CUTTING EDGE OF BUILDING ENCLOSURE SYSTEM DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION HELPING OWNERS, ARCHITECTS AND CONTRACTORS REALIZE THEIR VISIONS. OUR EXPERTS BRING EXPERIENCE TO INNOVATION.

Project success, and our firm’s success are achieved by harmonizing the vision of the designer with the needs of building performance and the constraints of construction and cost.

Building envelope performance relies on an inter-dependent series of relationships.
Building skins are a substantial financial commitment. They impact every aspect of a building’s mission and tenancy. Appearance, life cycle cost, operational expense, indoor comfort and durability are all reliant on the building envelope’s success. Gordon H. Smith Corporation’s depth of experience aids us in identifying the best practices for the delivery chain from concept to commissioning and beyond.
Our firm has led the industry in developing practical responses to emerging challenges, resisting short sighted concessions that threaten project performance and identifying project enhancements that provide dividends for the building’s planned operation and use.

Gordon H Smith Corporation earned its reputation decades ago, but we confirm it each day. When you retain GHSC, our rigor and consistency are prized characteristics that you can expect to benefit from in all our endeavors. After over 47 years in the profession, GHSC has a comprehensive knowledge of the people and resources that supply and participate in the building enclosure systems and fenestration industry. People build buildings. GHSC counts some of the leading architectural, development and construction firms in the world as clients and has undertaken a wide range of projects including hospitals, corporate and research campuses, ultra tall skyscrapers and civic institutions ranging from federal buildings, transportation gateways, historic landmarks to community art institutions.
