CK Construction Group

What CK Construction Group does

CK Construction Group is a private, family-owned and female-led commercial general contractor headquartered in Westerville, Ohio, operating across Central Ohio and select Midwest markets. The firm delivers projects under multiple construction delivery methods — Construction Management (both CMa and CMR), lump-sum General Contracting, and Design-Build — supplemented by self-perform capabilities in Carpentry, Casework, Concrete, Drywall/Acoustical Ceilings, Millwork, Selective Demolition, and Steel Erection. Self-perform capacity allows the firm to substitute for non-performing subcontractors and retain schedule and quality control on complex, schedule-sensitive institutional work.

The company's technology foundation centers on an in-house Preconstruction Engineering Services department that provides BIM, 5D modeling, VDC workflows, clash detection of MEP/structural/architectural systems, 4D construction sequencing, virtual walkthroughs, and high-quality 3D renderings. These capabilities support cost estimating and design analysis pre-construction and are positioned as a differentiator versus regional peers that outsource VDC. Certifications across the project portfolio include LEED Certified, LEED Silver, and LEED Gold, indicating competency in sustainable building delivery.

CK Construction's revenue model is project-based and B2B, with projects bid or negotiated individually under each delivery method. The customer base is concentrated in healthcare, manufacturing, education, government, and commercial sectors, with anchor relationships including Honda of America (since 1995, 35+ projects), Nationwide Children's Hospital (since 1997, 50+ projects), Easton Town Center (since 1996), Columbus Regional Airport Authority (since 2006, 17+ projects), and Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. Notable completed projects include the 1.7 million SF Greater Columbus Convention Center expansion (with joint venture partner Elford Construction), Ohio University 277,800 SF student housing, the Columbus Crew OhioHealth Performance Center, and multiple OhioHealth, OSU Wexner, and Nationwide Children's facilities. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct and relationship-driven, with growth fueled by repeat business, negotiated master service relationships, and selective competitive bidding on public-sector and institutional work.
