Cutting-edge Quality and Performance you can count on.
As a woman-owned business, G&F is led by Rita Ferguson, a pioneer whose career has been defined by resilience, advocacy, and inclusion.
G&F is breaking barriers by training and integrating women into the traditionally male-dominated field of concrete cutting. This initiative reflects Rita’s dedication to advancing diversity and creating pathways for women in the trades.
“I want future generations to see construction as a place where anyone willing to work hard can grow, lead, and make a lasting impact.”
Rita didn’t come from construction. She owned an art gallery, and when an economic downturn brought that chapter to a close, she saw an opportunity to build something lasting. Rita brought the business vision. Greg brought the field expertise. Together, they built G&F from the ground up.
Under her leadership, G&F became a certified Woman-Owned Business and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, not simply to win work, but to help expand opportunities within the industry.
Rita serves on the United Contractors PAC Committee, on labor negotiations, and as a member of California’s DBE Task Group since 2012, championing prompt payment on public projects and a distinct bid identity for specialty contractors.
“Work together and be supportive. Don’t put someone down to lift yourself up.”
Rita learned early that success comes from preparing before opportunity arrives, and from using her voice to advocate not only for your own company, but for the industry.
Rita mentors the next generation through Women in Construction and the Laborers Training School, and G&F partners with the Laborers Apprenticeship Training School to recruit and train new talent.
G&F doesn’t just build projects. It helps build the industry those projects depend on.
