Brand basics

Use the mark as it is.

The GilbertLanham mark interlocks a G and an L into a single monogram: two letters built as one structure, the way plan and execution work as one at GilbertLanham. Please do not redraw, recolor, stretch or add effects to it. Keep clear space around it equal to the height of the tile, and use the reverse version on dark or busy backgrounds. Write the name as one word with two capitals: GilbertLanham.

Meet our leadership

Our standards

How we work with the press.

Clear rules make good stories easier, for you and for us.

Accurate or silent

We confirm only what we have verified. If we do not know yet, we say so and tell you when we expect to.

Owners stay confidential

Our clients run sensitive facilities. We never name an owner, a site or a location without their written approval, and we ask you to respect that.

On the record by default

Unless we agree otherwise before the conversation starts, what our spokespeople tell you is on the record and attributable.

Corrections, quickly

If something we published is wrong, we correct it openly and note the change. Tell us at the press office and we will act the same day.

Site visits, filming and photography

Come see the work, safely.

S1
Request at least five business days ahead
Site access depends on the owner’s approval and the work under way. We will confirm what can be visited and filmed.
S2
Induction first, every time
Every visitor completes our safety induction and wears the PPE we provide: hard hat, eye protection, high-visibility vest and safety boots.
S3
Escorted at all times
A GilbertLanham host stays with you on site, keeps you clear of active work zones and can stop filming for safety at any moment.
S4
Images approved before use
Photos and footage from secure or confidential sites are reviewed with the owner before publication to protect sensitive details.

If something happens on a site

People first. Facts next.

If an incident occurs on a GilbertLanham project, our first duty is to the people involved, their families and emergency responders. Statements come only from the press office at media@gilbertlanham.com, after facts are confirmed and next of kin are informed.

We coordinate with the project owner and the authorities, update on a regular schedule while the situation is active, and never speculate about cause before an investigation concludes.
