Trust and fairness, open and honest communication, teamwork, cooperation, and collaboration form the backbone of our relationships with not only our clients, but our subcontractors, suppliers, and all other project stakeholders. DeSilva Gates is committed to partnering with all of our project stakeholders to deliver superior quality projects on-time and within budget, provide the best client service available, to be respected and trusted by the public agencies overseeing infrastructure construction and to be the contractor of choice for subcontractors and suppliers.
“We have worked with DeSilva Gates Construction on many infrastructure projects and consider them to be an excellent trade partner and facilitator.

We value the professionalism and competence of the DeSilva Gates project teams and look forward to working with them on many more projects in the future.”
