To that end, Gilbane Building Co., based in Providence, Rhode Island, has added Anthony Armento as a senior preconstruction executive in its Philadelphia office, the company announced Aug. 12. He will report to Jim Gibson, who will continue to lead the overall strategy and advancement of Gilbane’s purchasing and preconstruction departments in Philadelphia.
