Team Spotlight
Locke Mason
Controller

By now, we have introduced you to most of our G3 team, including project managers, superintendents, and upper management. However, one of our most critical, and often most "behind the scenes" team members is our Controller, Locke Mason. It goes without saying that this company would not function as well as it does without the incredible capabilities and efforts of Locke.

Locke has been with G3 now for 10 years, making him one of our longest tenured employees. He graduated with a Business Degree from Western Illinois University and went on to pass his CPA exam as the City Accountant for Wood Dale, Illinois. While at G3, Locke has been involved with our biggest projects including the ground up construction of Rosalind Franklin University's 100,000 square foot Innovation and Research Park, various tenant improvement projects, as well as the many large capital improvement projects for Chicago and Suburban HOA's and Condo Associations.

Locke is an avid live music fan and has been to more than 300 concerts. He enjoys all things Chicago including its sports teams and plethora of diverse restaurants. Locke and his wife of 38 years have two children and one grandchild and enjoy taking trips to Gainesville, Florida to visit.

Locke is an integral part of the G3 team and the company's success relies on the hard work and diligence of him. We are so grateful to have Locke Mason at G3!
Featured Service
Plumbing Riser Replacement
G3 Construction Group specializes in managing capital improvement projects such as plumbing riser replacements. Our project management team ensures that each project is professionally managed from pre-construction assessment to completion.

If a building is experiencing widespread water supply issues, it may be time to replace the plumbing installation. If the following issues are present in your building, a plumbing riser upgrade may be the solution:

  • Insufficient water pressure
  • Colored water
  • Excessively hot showerhead water
  • Water leaks

In short, a piping upgrade is necessary if the existing installation is no longer able to deliver enough water, or if quality has become unacceptable due to rust contamination. Partial upgrades are not recommended because they result in contact between new and old piping, which accelerates corrosion due to the materials difference; old piping normally uses galvanized steel, while new installations use copper, brass or stainless steel.

Edgewater Condominium Association
Chicago, Il
Emergency Riser Replacement

G3 was engaged by this Edgewater Condo Association to manage a critical riser replacement project. Prior to the start of this project, leaks were found while replacing adjacent insulation. The extremely poor condition of the piping lead to this emergency riser replacement. G3's work included:
 
  • Obtain all permits, licenses, and approvals
  • Coordinate activities/schedule of all subcontractors, including daily COVID-19 screening, including temperature checks, face coverings, sanitizing stations, etc.
  • On-site superintendent to ensure project efficiency
  • Weekly progress meetings and daily construction reports
  • Coordination with unit occupants to minimize conflicts and facilitate occupant usage
  • Lobby monitor updating to keep residents informed of the project's progress
  • Community coordinator to field calls, emails, etc. from unit owners while scheduling unit work
  • Unit protection and final daily cleaning
 
After the piping replacement, the drywall was repaired and repainted in units, corridors, and stairwells.
Our Project Management team's diligent and efficient approach to this project enabled the entire replacement to be completed within one week.
