BUILD ▪ RENOVATE ▪ DEVELOP

Founded in 1986, CM-GC specializes in commercial, industrial, institutional, mixed use and residential design/build construction. CM-GC has a proven track record with relevant project experience.

Throughout our history, we have delivered a wide variety of projects as Design/Build, Construction Managers, General Contractors and Facility Managers. CM-GC’s experience includes projects ranging from new office and manufacturing facilities for Packaging Unlimited in Northern Kentucky, urban renovations such as the 20th Century Theater in Historic Oakley, interior renovations at University Hospital, renovations and building additions for Kenwood Country Club and subdivision developments such as Brandonburg in Kennedy Heights and Andrew Acres in Silverton.

CM-GC and its affiliates are passionately committed to the success of our clients and our commitment is to increasingly raise the bar of excellence. We value our client’s assets as if they were our own, acting as stewards and operating prudently. We recognize that no two clients and no two construction projects are identical. Therefore, we always begin a new relationship by listening – seeking first to understand our client’s’ expectations, concerns and how they define success. Once we understand these opportunities we can design and implement a detailed construction program that meets the objectives and measurable bottom-line requirements of our client.

We Are Expertly Qualified

CM-GC’s residential division uses the trade name St. John Designs.

President & CEO Schuyler Murdock, developed and built the first subdivision using the City of Cincinnati Housing Round Program in 1994. That development, Brandonburg Lane, consisted of nine homes on a cul de sac in Kennedy Heights.

Building Your Green Future

St. John Designs plans every new construction and renovation project to reduce our carbon footprint. We believe that sustainability is important to our clients and necessary to protect our environment. Utilizing an integrated sustainable design philosophy encourages decisions at each phase of the design process that will reduce negative impacts on the environment and the health of the building occupants, without compromising the bottom line. It is an integrated, holistic approach that encourages innovation.

We employ many “Green” concepts as set forth by the U.S. Green Building Council (LEED – Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) as standard practice on our projects. We incorporate the following into all of our projects:

• Low Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) paints and carpets.
• Energy Star qualified double pane insulated Windows.
• Insulated Exterior Doors.
• Environmentally friendly & energy efficient Insulation.
• Water: Installing high efficiency water valves and fixtures.
• Mechanical: Replace old equipment with high efficiency models.
• Lighting: Use compact fluorescent lighting. Lighting is a critical component of energy use. Upgrading to more efficient lighting systems will reduces energy consumption and operating costs.

Environmental Management

St. John Designs’ principals, key personnel, subcontractors and suppliers have decades of experience in identifying and dealing with environmental hazards. We take seriously our commitment to protect our employees, clients and the environment. Any building component that is suspected of containing hazardous material is tested. St.John Designs provides inspection services and develops abatement programs and testing. All operations will be in compliance with local, state and federal regulations. We provide the following services:

• Asbestos Inspections & Abatement
• Mold Inspection & Remediation
• Lead Inspections & Abatement

Lead is a highly toxic metal that may cause a range of health problems, especially in young children. When lead is absorbed into the body, it can cause damage to the brain and other vital organs like the kidneys, nerves and blood. Lead may also cause behavioral problems, learning disabilities, seizures and in extreme cases, death. Lead-based paint was commonly used on interior and exterior surfaces prior to the United States ban in 1978.

St. John Designs is an EPA Lead Certified Renovator.
