What Touchstone Cpm, Inc. does

Touchstone CPM, Inc. is a professional construction planning and management firm headquartered in Lima, Ohio, with an additional regional office in Columbus. Founded in 2003 as a subsidiary of Tuttle Services, Inc., the firm provides third-party construction management services across the full project lifecycle: preconstruction (estimating, GMP, scheduling, value engineering, design-assist, bid management), construction management (on-site supervision, quality assurance, subcontractor management, budget control), and project closeout (commissioning, owner training, warranty administration). It supports three project delivery methods—Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR), Construction Manager Agency (CMA), and Design-Build—and additionally offers Owner's Representative advisory services. The firm's core technology is its LEED-accredited staff and USGBC membership, which it integrates into every project and which is rare among Ohio-based construction managers; completed projects have achieved LEED Silver and LEED Gold certifications. There is no proprietary software platform, no AI/ML capability, and no public API.

Touchstone serves public-sector clients throughout Ohio, with primary verticals in K-12 education and healthcare, plus a small number of commercial assignments. The firm operates an enterprise field-sales motion targeting school districts, health systems, and institutional owners through RFP responses, direct client relationships, and referrals. Project size ranges from under $1 million to over $50 million in construction value, and Touchstone has cumulatively managed more than $1.5 billion in public building projects since 2003. Pricing is project-specific and quote-based; revenue is generated through fee-based professional services.

Ownership is concentrated under the privately held Tuttle Services, Inc. parent, which also owns Tuttle Construction (a general contracting/specialty self-perform sibling). Touchstone participates in the Shook Touchstone joint venture, formed in 2007 with Moraine-based Shook Construction to deliver PK-12 school projects; this JV has overseen more than $1.18 billion in school construction work, including the $120 million Northeastern Local School District project awarded in 2019. The firm has 11-50 employees and is actively operating as of the most recent portfolio entries.
