Tim Silknitter
General Contractor/Owner
Tim started working in the “built environment” at the age of eight – working on various remodeling projects with his parents. He has always known that he wanted to design and create more efficient spaces for the families that utilize them.
He earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Architecture & Design from UNL. Tim has worked for many years in the commercial construction industry and has brought those processes to Gitt Construction. Tim will be on your jobsite almost daily ensuring every detail is correct.
“The most important thing we can do for a client is to ease the burden of the construction process by communication and humor.” – Tim
Melissa Murphy
Project Manager
Melissa’s background has always been in the “built environment” – she won’t admit how many years. Melissa is a natural at communicating with clients about their wants, needs, and is a wealth of knowledge for product selection.
Melissa keeps our projects on schedule and ensures all finished product selections are correct. She will be there with you every step of the way!
“All projects have unforeseen challenges, but we never lose sight of the design and vision for the client. The smiles that come at the end is why we do what we do! We also get to have fun along the way!” – Melissa
Travis Berglund
Controller
Travis is here to be the reasonable one in the group. He is the guy that won’t let us buy lunch or get new tools. We make Travis stay in the office to handle the books and ensure everything is in order.
Travis earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Finance from Wayne State College. Ask him about golf if you have a spare hour.
