Another milestone for Dorchester Habitat for Humanity!

Today, Dorchester Habitat for Humanity celebrated the ribbon cutting for Home #81, marking another important step in its mission to provide affordable homeownership opportunities for local families.

Gilbert + Lee Construction co-owner Stephanie Lee, who serves as Board Chair for Dorchester Habitat for Humanity, was on hand to speak and participate in today’s celebration.

At Gilbert + Lee, we’re grateful for the opportunity to support Habitat through volunteer efforts and financial contributions. It’s an organization whose mission closely aligns with our commitment to giving back to the community where we live and work.

Congratulations to the new homeowners, the Habitat team, and everyone who helped make Home #81 possible!

Sometimes, a tremendous amount of work goes into a construction project before the progress becomes obvious. Site preparation is a perfect example.

We're excited to share an update from the future home of the Dorchester Heritage Center! While there's still much work ahead, the extensive site preparation represents a significant step forward in bringing this project to life.

And just in time for Halloween, the newly prepared site is already being put to good use! 🎃

The Dorchester Heritage Center is hosting its Heritage Haunt Halloween event on-site, giving the community an opportunity to visit the property, enjoy some Halloween fun, and support fundraising efforts for the new center.

We encourage you to check out the event and support this exciting project for our community!

Not every construction project involves building something new. Sometimes, the greatest value comes from knowing how to navigate the process and bring all the pieces together.

Our recent project at 1120 Central Avenue in Summerville is a great example of how Gilbert + Lee Construction can help property owners move a project from concept to completion.

Our involvement included exterior design, navigating the rezoning and entitlement process, and coordinating a variety of site improvements. From tree removal and driveway improvements to accessible parking, a wheelchair ramp, handrails, landscaping, signage, and other finishing details, our team helped manage the many moving parts needed to bring the property to its intended use.

Projects like this demonstrate that our expertise goes beyond construction. We bring experience in planning, problem-solving, coordination, and navigating the challenges that can arise along the way.

Sometimes, getting the job done means knowing how to get it done.

When work is golf on a Friday… ⛳

Gilbert + Lee Construction team members Morgan Atwell, Zach Hollifield, Austin Gilbert, and Seth Chaplin represented our team at Dorchester Habitat for Humanity’s 2026 Golf Classic.

We were glad to participate in this year’s tournament as both a sponsor and a team, supporting an organization that does important work helping local families achieve affordable homeownership.

We’re pleased to announce the completion of the new Meals on Wheels of Summerville facility!

Better known as the “little blue house,” the building has undergone a complete interior renovation, creating a more functional space for an organization that has served the Summerville community for more than 40 years. And while much has changed inside, it will still be known as the “little blue house.”

The renovated facility includes a dedicated commercial kitchen, community workspace, and offices, bringing meal preparation and daily operations together under one roof.

It’s been a pleasure working with the Meals on Wheels of Summerville team on this project. We hope their new facility serves them well for many years to come as they continue providing meals and support to seniors and individuals with disabilities throughout our community.

On Monday, we had the opportunity to celebrate the ribbon cutting for Riverstone High School in North Charleston.

This project was completed on behalf of Second Mile Education as they expand their mission into South Carolina. Riverstone High School is a tuition-free public charter high school designed to provide students with a flexible, supportive path toward graduation, helping create new opportunities for students and families in the North Charleston community.

The ribbon cutting also reflected the significance of this project, with attendance and recognition from the State of South Carolina, along with support from educational and business partners who share in the school’s mission.

Seeing the building complete and ready to serve students made this project especially meaningful for our team. We’re grateful to Second Mile Education for trusting Gilbert + Lee Construction with this work, and we look forward to partnering with them again on future projects.

Summerville’s annual Sweet Tea Festival was in full swing today, and this year brought something new to Short Central Avenue.

With the new downtown pavilion nearing completion and most of the construction barriers down, local band Taylor Boys took the stage, giving us an early look at what this new space will bring to the community.

There are still a few finishing touches ahead, but it was great to see the pavilion already being enjoyed during one of Summerville’s biggest community events.

We’re looking forward to seeing much more of this on Short Central!

Another project is well underway in Summerville.

GLC is working on a new Edward Jones office for financial advisor Maurice Brown (). Located just off Myers Road near North Main Street, the new space is currently under construction and beginning to take shape.

We look forward to sharing more as work progresses and Maurice gets closer to opening the doors of his new office.

Every build represents the work of people whose names may never appear on the finished project, but whose skill and care are part of everything it becomes.

We want to recognize the people who make that work possible. The early starts, the long days in the heat, the problem-solving, and the attention to details that others may never notice all deserve our appreciation.

To our Gilbert + Lee team, subcontractors, and trade partners: thank you for the work you do and the pride you take in doing it well. The places where our community lives, works, and gathers depend on your contributions.

Happy Labor Day. 🇺🇸
