What Chesapeake Contracting Group does

Chesapeake Contracting Group (CCG) is a privately-held commercial general contractor founded in 1979 by Bobby Ginsberg, operating across the Mid-Atlantic and Research Triangle regions from offices in Owings Mills (Maryland HQ), Annapolis, Herndon (Northern Virginia), Morrisville (Raleigh/Research Triangle), and a newly established Richmond, Virginia office. The firm delivers preconstruction, construction management, design-build, and general contracting services spanning more than a dozen market sectors — automotive dealerships, grocery retail, healthcare, multifamily housing, industrial/warehouse, office, retail, self-storage, senior living, education, and interior fit-outs — to enterprise clients including developers (Greenberg Gibbons, Caves Valley Partners, 28 Walker Development), automotive groups (Group 1, Penske, Priority One, Safford Brown), grocery chains (Safeway, Giant Food, Harris Teeter, Sprouts), and healthcare systems (Johns Hopkins, LifeBridge Health, FutureCare).

CCG generates revenue through project-based contracts across diversified commercial sectors, with executive leadership stating the firm manages over ten million square feet of construction projects. The company employs 101-250 people, operates with no external institutional ownership, and pursues a relationship-driven go-to-market motion built on long-tenured repeat clients and demonstrated sector specializations (e.g., 60+ car dealerships, 50+ grocery stores, 3,700+ multifamily units). Notable recent deliverables include Baltimore's first mass timber office building (40TEN, 105,000 SF) and multiple LEED-certified projects. Operational capabilities are supplemented by CCG Residential, a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to multifamily construction.

The business model relies on direct-to-client engagement through regional offices, with no distribution or reseller channels. Pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed, with contract values varying materially by sector and scope. The firm has invested in sustainability credentials (LEED Gold and Silver certifications across automotive, grocery, healthcare, and office projects) and has signaled ongoing geographic and vertical expansion, including the October 2025 entry into Richmond, Virginia.
