Ai2 Settles into Its New Home
DJC

We are intentionally invested in our shared Pacific Northwest future. And the social, economic, and environmental resilience of this region. We place a high value on continuous learning, always seeking to improve in everything we do. From employee health and advancement, to innovations in sustainable building practices, to smart technologies and processes that drive greater efficiency. We keep our eyes on the outcomes. And then aim to go beyond.
A healthy environment depends on each of us taking care of each other, every day. As safety stewards, nothing is more important than doing what’s right for our employees, our clients, and the projects we deliver.


Safety First
On the jobsite, project schedules are carefully planned to assure safety is never compromised. Everyone is encouraged to stop unsafe work and address any issue immediately. We cultivate a team atmosphere that engages all jobsite workers through education, positive reinforcement, and partnership.
Safety extends to social and psychological health as well. We are a zero-tolerance company when it comes to harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. We train our leaders on the importance of an inclusive environment and provide them with the tools and training to achieve it. Healthy employees build healthy communities—which benefits all of us.
We have Pacific Northwest roots and are leaders in the Puget Sound region. It is our home. Because Leading with Integrity is one of our core values, we know that leadership begins with doing what is right for our employees, our communities, and the environment. At GLY we use sustainable building practices on every project, regardless of any certification goals, because it’s our responsibility to preserve our natural eco-systems for future generations.

Our Vision
Our industry is evolving at a rapid rate. We are actively involved in organizations driving change, and we are committed to reducing waste and mitigating impacts on the planet and your budget. Our sustainability efforts include rigorous fuel and electricity tracking; carbon offsetting; and working with our clients and project team partners to enhance a project’s long-term viability. And as a Salmon Safe Contractor, we help keep our beautiful PNW waters clean and healthy.
Sustainability is also fundamental to social equity. Historically, people in poor neighborhoods, indigenous communities, and people of color have felt the greatest effects of climate change and economic disadvantage. We take charge of taking care of the environment, and providing physical and psychological safety, non-discrimination in hiring, and pay parity across all positions.

Our Commitment
Planet
At least 75% of our jobsite materials are recycled, reused, or diverted from landfills
People
Social equity = clean air, clean water, and economic opportunity
Process
Smart BIM reduces rework, waste, and carbon to protect the environment and your budget

Sustainable Progress
Carbon reduction is essential to achieving meaningful sustainability outcomes in our industry. Every decision to reduce emissions—no matter how small—contributes to collective progress and helps drive broader, systemic change.
For GLY and our clients, carbon reduction is a clear priority. It is formalized through our Carbon Reduction Master Plan, which reflects our responsibility as a General Contractor to lead with purpose, accountability, and measurable action.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Our 2025 Action + Impact Report includes DEIB, Safety, and Sustainability as we view them holistically. We firmly believe that when it comes to these vital subjects, we must open-source important concepts not just within our own company but within the community at large.
We look forward to continuing to exchange key ideas with our community, as these topics transcend any one firm or market segment and are critical to the success of our region.

We embrace Lean project delivery as an inherently sustainable, effective, and responsible way to build the future. And care for those who will live here next. Because the core focus of Lean is to increase value while minimizing waste, we’ve integrated Lean thinking across our company—from internal operations to preconstruction to final delivery. We believe it’s the best way to save you time and money, preserve resources, and ensure the highest quality in every aspect of construction.

Safety Director
CSP, CHST
Before entering construction safety, Isaias began his career as a wildland firefighter, where he developed a calm, confident approach to risk management. That experience made his transition into safety and construction management a natural progression. He has since proven himself a strong leader, capable of guiding teams of safety professionals and fostering a culture rooted in accountability and safe work practices, making him the perfect fit for Safety Director at GLY. Outside of work, Isaias stays active through Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, strength training, running, hiking, and golfing, and he enjoys spending downtime reading. Despite calling himself the world’s worst swimmer, swimming remains a favorite hobby [an unexpected passion that perfectly reflects his willingness to embrace any challenges he is faced with].

Sustainability Manager

It’s no wonder that Laura’s passion is helping people find their potential. She’s worked hard to creatively forge her own career path and achieve her goals. She is active in a number of industry groups and peer networks focused on green building and leads GLY’s internal sustainability efforts. Her background as a Project Manager allows her to connect with clients and project teams to drive sustainability project goals while keeping budget and schedule at the forefront. Laura brings her love of responsible practices [and infectious good spirits] to every project.
