President and Owner of G3 Quality Chris Gerber started his journey in the industry when he was 17 years old. He began by learning the ins and outs of training, test methods, specifications, and all things Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA). Gerber developed a QC/QA manual and provided field QC/QA services on some of Caltrans first highway pavement rehabilitation AC Pay projects. He built relationships through everything he did and surrounded himself with individuals that he recognizes as mentors.
After working for reputable construction engineering, testing and inspection labs for 16 years, Gerber decided that he was ready to go at it on his own, prepared by his years of experience and a burning desire to succeed. Together with his founding partner, Susan Pierce, G3 Quality, Inc. was formed in 2013, with the G standing for Gerber and the “3” representing the guiding principles: grow, guide, and give.
G3 Quality currently has over 80 employees with a corporate office in Cerritos and additional laboratories and offices in Bakersfield and Redlands. G3 Quality’s laboratories are Caltrans qualified and certified by AASHTO, CCRL and the Army Corps of Engineers. We serve California through these conveniently located regional locations and a fleet of mobile laboratories. G3 Quality is a California Small Business Enterprise (SBE), Metro Qualified SBE, and City of LA SBE.
In 2019, G3 Quality was recognized as “Best Firms To Work For” and the top 100 fastest growing “Hot Firm” by Zweig Group.
