Replicate GitLab CI & Runner Functionality Locally?

In absence of network, on-site we can commit to local git repo but can't have gitlab-ci to compile project and early trobuleshoot.

How to have a localized gitlab-ci and gitlab-runner which can compile commits offline (*or alternate means) ?

The gitlab runner has an exec command which allows you to run the gitlab runner on your local machine with your local .gitlab-ci.yml configuration file.

This command allows you to run builds locally, trying to replicate the CI environment as much as possible. It doesn't need to connect to GitLab, instead it reads the local .gitlab-ci.yml and creates a new build environment in which all the build steps are executed.

Though if local network troubles are often you may consider installing the gitlab on premises and connect your own local gitlab runner to it so the work is automated.
