Why I work at Gibbs
I really like that Gibbs is very family-oriented – it feels like a family. The people I work with are kind, friendly, and supportive. There is an open-door policy and I feel comfortable talking about anything. As the receptionist, I’m most people’s first impression of the company, and I’m proud to represent Gibbs Construction.

If only the walls could talk! Gibbs is currently working with Bancroft Property Investments, LLC on the historical Carmelite Monastery Building in New Orleans' Vieux Carre', dating back to back to 1891. Behind these twenty-foot walls, was once the home of a religious order then more recently a wedding venue. The Monastery building has begun its next chapter as it transforms into new apartment living spaces. Some of our best-skilled carpenters will be working hard to preserve the history of this beauty. #historicpreservation #neworleansrealestate #nola #churchdesign #historicchurches #neworleanshistory #architecture #skilledcarpentry #builtwithpride
I was in that church during Katrina. We were dodging falling stained glass windows while trying to board up the front doors that ripped from their hinges during storm. I used to live there and was part of that community. We had 14 of us ride out the storm. A lot of amazing memories there! Holy ground there. The exorcist for the archdiocese also used to live there(long before I got there lol).
A very difficult time for all the family.
I cannot wait to watch the progress on this beautiful historic treasure!
Is this property on Rampart?
It's a pleasure working there
Wowwww!
Thankful Thursday! Shout-out to our subs and Gibbs team hard at work on the Ochsner Health Dr. John Discovery Science Academy. #builtwuthpride #strongrelationships
We've missed you! It's been too long! Take a look at what Gibbs has been up to while navigating the Covid-19 pandemic.
Sadeghi Center For Plastic Surgery is building a new home on Metairie Road. This week Gibbs has started pilings.
Ochsner Health is busy with the new Employee Child Care Center located on Jefferson Highway and the Dr. John Ochsner Discovery Science Academy near their main campus. Gibbs is concurrently working on a number of phases for these projects, including steel erection, underground site work, framing, and sheetrock.
On the other side of the river, we are getting closer to wrapping up the new Westwego Emergency Preparedness Center.
We are thankful for our staff’s health and safety. We are grateful for the hard work of our team and our relationships with our clients!

Isn’t that the plastic surgeon that takes pictures of his clients and shares them with his friends? Google it.

Even though we could not get pictures of all those who attended our annual blood drive due to Covid-19, we would still like to thank all of those who signed up and came out to the drive to donate! Together with FH Myers Construction Corp. we were able to help 54 patients at Ochsner Health! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. #community #TeamGibbs #gibbscares #fhmyerscares #blooddrive
Excellent! (Although I don't like the idea of an "ANNUAL blood drive due to covid-19.")
