The CSM Culture

Keys to our uniqueness.

We’re a professional services firm; our most Significant assets are the talents and skills of our people.

We actively seek out “A” players, invest in them, develop their abilities, and empower them so They can maximize their potential. We recognize the long-term value of recruiting, nurturing, and keeping the best people we can find.

We are in the community for the long term and will not sacrifice the owner’s trust or our reputation for any short-term benefits.

By specializing in construction management, we can be truly objective in looking out for the owner’s interests. We don’t make money on change orders. We don’t benefit from anything
that doesn’t benefit the owner.

We constantly look for more efficient ways to provide better service to our clients. We aggressively invest in process improvements and technology that help keep us ahead of the competition.

Positioning Statement

We’re one of the largest construction management firms in Michigan. We’re different because we’re a talent-based professional
services firm and we’re construction management specialists. We’re unique (our clients tell us) because of the professionalism and enthusiasm displayed by our people at every level, on every project.

Unlike other contractors, we represent only the building owner’s interests. As the owner’s independent representative, we work closely with architects during the design phase to identify cost savings and avoid possible construction pitfalls without compromising design objectives, we manage trade contractors and the entire building process, and we ensure the owner’s smooth transition to the new facility.

We protect building owners’ interests, save them money, and make sure the building process is trouble-free.
