Approach

Our Mission

At CMG Construction Management, our mission is simple: to deliver partnership with our clients and confidence in the construction development process.  Every decision in construction demands precision from new openings to urgent remodels and multi-site programs. CMG brings structure and experience to projects of any scale, ensuring order, transparency, timeliness, budget control, and professionalism to deliver outstanding results.

“Relationships are the foundation of our success. We want clients to see us as part of their team.”
— Ben Hosto

OUR TEAM

Every CMG leader started their construction management career as a project manager. This hands-on experience shapes our culture: one that is strategic, collaborative, and accountable. CMG is a company where transparency, honesty, and teamwork are core values. We share challenges with our teams and clients, support each other throughout the process, and celebrate successes together. Our success is measured not only by the number of projects we have completed, but also by the level of trust we have earned over two decades.

Our Reach in North America

Our large team of project managers and coordinators are strategically placed throughout North America. This ensures that CMG can serve our clients across the US and Canada without compromising budget, schedule or quality.

About Our Logo

Our blueprint-inspired logo is more than a design—it’s a reflection of how we work. Blueprints represent precision, planning, and collaboration, the same qualities we bring to every project. The clean lines and structured letters mirror our approach to program management and rollout execution: detailed, reliable, and always aligned with our clients’ vision. Just as a blueprint transforms into a finished build, CMG turns concepts into reality—on time, on budget, and with excellence at every step.
