    TESTIMONIALS

    I especially like CSM Group's pre-bid procedures. They provide very detailed information and are quick to respond with answers to RFIs. Invitations to Bid are sent in a timely manner, affording contractors a valuable period to review documents.

    Ralph Reagan, Vice President, Aaron Glass Company, Inc.

    What I like most about CSM Group's approach is that no matter the task or issue at hand, CSM Group approaches every situation in a calm, collected manner. Furthermore, there is a lot to know about managing a project with many different scopes of work. In my experience, if CSM Group is not 100% sure of how to answer one of our questions or concerns, they allow us to meet with architects or engineers to make sure we all walk away with a mutual understanding of how to proceed.

    Our working relationship with CSM Group spans over 30 years, and we consider them among the finest contractors in Southwest Michigan.

    Who Needs to Pre-Qualify?

    CSM Group requires that all subcontractors be prequalified annually to be eligible to contract work with our company. Prequalifying will help ensure you are receiving all possible bid opportunities that are dialed into your preferred project size, trades categories and industry types. It also helps us keep our contact database up to date, which prevents missed opportunities due to changes in staffing.

    The following scopes of work do not need to go through the prequalification process:
    - Vendors
    - Material Suppliers
    - Testing
    - Engineering Firms
    - Architecture, including Landscape
    - Environmental Science
    - Planning
    - Surveying
