About GK Development Group LLC
GK Development Group LLC is a Florida licensed general contractor delivering construction management, design-build, and owner’s representation services throughout the state. Founded by Dennis Gunter, the firm operates from offices in Dunedin and Boynton Beach, serving property owners, developers, and institutional leadership teams who need experienced project management for complex construction.
Dennis Gunter: 40 Years of Construction Leadership
Dennis Gunter brings 40 years of hands-on construction experience to every project. Before founding GK Development Group, Dennis held senior management positions including Chief Operating Officer, Vice President of Operations, and Senior Project Manager for construction firms delivering institutional, hospitality, and commercial projects across the United States and internationally.
This executive-level background means GK Development Group operates differently than typical general contractors. Dennis understands the concerns of property owners, boards, and investors because he has sat across the table from them throughout his career. Budget protection, schedule certainty, and clear communication are priorities because those are the expectations he learned managing large-scale construction programs.
As the qualifying Certified General Contractor for GK Development Group, Dennis maintains active licensure through the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation. He personally oversees every project the firm undertakes, providing the direct access to leadership that institutional and discerning residential clients require.
Our Approach to Construction Management
GK Development Group provides more than traditional bid-and-build general contracting. Our services encompass the full project lifecycle:
Direct Principal Involvement
Dennis Gunter participates in pre-construction planning, attends project meetings, and makes decisions on the job site. You work with the owner of the company, not layers of project coordinators.
Integrated Planning and Delivery
Construction management begins during design development, not after plans are complete. GK Development Group provides budget guidance, constructability reviews, and schedule planning while design decisions can still be adjusted without costly changes.
Transparent Communication
Property owners receive regular project updates, budget tracking, and schedule reporting. When issues arise, you hear about them immediately with proposed solutions.
Code and Permitting Expertise
Florida construction involves complex permitting across municipal, county, and state jurisdictions. GK Development Group navigates these requirements based on decades of experience working with Florida building departments.
Sectors We Serve
GK Development Group provides construction services for:
Custom Homes and Additions
Ground-up custom homes, major additions, whole-house renovations, kitchen and bath remodels, and outdoor living spaces throughout Florida.
Churches and Ministry Facilities
Worship centers, education buildings, fellowship halls, gymnasiums, and interior buildouts for congregations across the state.
Schools and Institutional Buildings
Elementary schools, middle schools, gymnasiums, childcare centers, and educational facilities serving public and private institutions.
Hotels and Hospitality Properties
Hotel renovations, PIP compliance, restaurant buildouts, commercial kitchens, and hospitality construction in Florida’s tourism markets.

Commercial and Multi-Family Development
Office buildings, retail centers, condominiums, mixed-use projects, and tenant improvements for investors and developers.
Why Experience Matters for Your Project
Property owners face real consequences when construction projects fail. Church boards answer to congregations when building funds exceed approved budgets. School administrators face parents and board members when facilities aren’t ready for the school year. Hospital executives manage regulatory scrutiny when construction impacts patient care. Hotel owners lose revenue every day a renovation runs behind schedule.
GK Development Group understands these pressures because we have delivered projects in each of these environments. Our experience helps us anticipate problems before they become crises and maintain the clear communication that keeps stakeholders informed.
When you work with GK Development Group, you work with a contractor who has seen the challenges your project will face and knows how to manage them.
