Portfolio of Specialty Construction Projects
We have a diverse list of projects on our resume. We’ve done everything from parking garages to boardwalks, from correctional facilities to flight schools, from ice-skating rinks to breweries. As dissimilar as these structures and facilities might appear, we see a common thread. They require a construction manager that understands the unique demands involved in each one, and uses that knowledge to deliver a high-quality product while discovering opportunities to add value along the way.

Kalamazoo Gazette

The addition houses a new, state of the art printing press. Special foundations and other building components are part of the work to accommodate this equipment. The primary building addition encompasses about 30,000 square feet and is four stories in height (three above grade and one below grade). The addition also houses complete new mechanical and electrical systems for the entire facility. CSM is also renovating 25,000 square feet of the existing facility to complete the modernization of the Gazette's headquarters.

Lakeside Treatment and Learning Center

Lakeside TLC is a residence and treatment facility for at-risk youth from throughout southwest Michigan. Children age eight to seventeen that have been victims of abuse or neglect, or been involved with the court system live full time at Lakeside. This six million dollar project was constructed in close proximity to the ongoing operations with minimal disruption.

West Michigan Cancer Center

CSM Group served as Construction Manager for this state of the art $5.8 million dollar Cancer Center facility. The 45,000 sf project was constructed on a constricted downtown site on a fast track schedule that continued 18 months. The project was also subject to intense local interest and historical district regulations.

Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility

State of the art security systems are used throughout the building and on the site to control inmate movement. The building is fully sprinkled with a dust collection system to maintain indoor air quality. A humidification system ensures the consistent quality control required to produce wood furniture.

Federal Aviation Administration

The Regional Flight Inspection Field Office constructed by CSM Group at the W.K. Kellogg Airport in Battle Creek, MI is a state of the art aircraft maintenance and hangar facility. The hangar floor is 12” thick with two layers of rebar mat reinforcement. A white powdered aluminum hardener was finished into the concrete surface to provide aesthetic value as well as wearability.


Wings Stadium Cube Addition


Several different footprints and locations were considered in light of the fact that this would be the third sheet of ice on the property. The impact on parking, interior and exterior traffic flow, grades and storm water retention were some to the considerations that affected not only where the building would be located but how large it could be.

Kalamazoo Brewing Company

A unique feature of the original project formerly known as the Kalamazoo Brewing Company involved the construction of a 12' x 12' roof hatch with removable top over the existing brewhouse.
