Construction Managers of Ohio is a builder. No development arm, no land to sell you — just design-build, CM at-risk, and general contracting for manufacturing, healthcare, and corporate owners who want their building done right, on an honest budget.
Plenty of firms can pour concrete and hang steel. The difference is who is sitting on your side of the table when budget, schedule, and scope collide.
Since 2021 CMO has been a pure builder. We don't develop, own, or lease real estate, so we're never weighing your project against our own portfolio. Our recommendation on site, structure, or scope is just that — a recommendation for you.
Our preconstruction team is led by a vice president, not handed off to an estimator. You get constructability review, a schedule you can plan operations around, and a budget that holds — before drawings are final, not after bids come in high.
Doubling Yaskawa's plant footprint without interrupting production. Building Agri-Pet's new clinic six feet from the one still seeing patients. Phasing, logistics, and dust control around a live business is what we do most.
CMO is owner-led and right-sized on purpose. The people you meet in the interview are the people who run your job, return your call the same day, and sign the closeout.
We serve developers, project owners, and investors as clients, and we treat subcontractors and vendors as trade partners. That's not a slogan; it's how we keep the best crews showing up on your site.
We don't chase every job. We go deep in the building types where our experience lowers your risk — and we say so when a project isn't a fit.
Plant expansions, process-driven buildouts, crane-served bays, heavy slabs, and utility-intensive spaces — planned around production so the line never stops.
Clinics, medical office buildings, surgical and imaging suites, and veterinary hospitals — with the infection control, MEP coordination, and phasing patient care demands.
Headquarters, training centers, and workplace renovations where finish quality, technology, and the experience of your people and visitors are the measure of success.
Academic, student-life, and campus support facilities delivered around the academic calendar and the realities of an occupied campus.
We deliver all three. Here's how we'd help you choose, in plain terms.
One contract, one team, one point of responsibility. CMO leads the architect, engineers, and trades from day one, so design decisions are priced as they're made and construction can start before every drawing is finished.
You spend less time refereeing between designer and builder and more time running your business.
You hire your own architect and bring CMO on early as your construction advisor — estimating, scheduling, constructability, and bid packaging during design. When the design is far enough along, we commit to a Guaranteed Maximum Price and build it as your general contractor.
You keep control of the design relationship and still get a builder in the room before the numbers are locked.
The traditional path: your architect completes the documents, qualified contractors bid them, and the work goes to the lowest responsible bidder. CMO bids this work selectively — when the documents are complete and the team is one we know we can perform for.
You get a competitive, fixed price on a fully defined scope.

Owners tell us the worst part of a construction project is not knowing what happens next.
Our motto is NO SURPRISES.
A conversation about your program, site, timeline, and budget range. We run every opportunity through a go/no-go review — if we're not the right builder, we'll tell you and point you to someone who is.
Conceptual budgeting, schedule, constructability review, and trade-partner input while the design is still cheap to change. Costs are tracked against the budget at every design milestone.
A dedicated project manager and superintendent, weekly owner reporting, and a safety director on site. Phasing and logistics are planned around your operations, not ours.
Punch list, training, as-builts, and warranty handled by the same team that built it. We measure success by whether you call us for the next one.
A deliberately small leadership team with decades of combined experience in Southwest Ohio commercial construction. These are the people you'll actually work with.
Acquired CMO in 2021 and refocused the firm as a builder-only construction manager. LEED AP. University of Dayton.
Leads estimating, budgeting, and constructability — the numbers owners plan around.
Responsible for field execution, schedule, and quality across every active project.
Runs projects day to day and owns CMO's safety program on every site.
Five values, unchanged since long before they were fashionable to publish. They show up in how we bid, how we pay our trade partners, and how we leave your site.
Early drawings, a napkin sketch, or just a square footage and a deadline — we'll respond within one business day with next steps.
