What CS Construction does

CS Construction LLC is a privately held general contractor founded in 2005 by Matthew Cohen (Owner/Managing Member) and Jordy Skovborg (Co-Owner), headquartered at 1506 NE 1st Street in Bend, Oregon. The firm operates two principal lines: commercial general contracting across healthcare, education, government, retail, multi-housing, and industrial sectors, and custom estate / ranch residential construction. With approximately 102 employees including senior project managers, project managers, project engineers, multiple superintendents, foremen, carpenters, apprentices, and a shop and safety manager, CS Construction positions itself as a full-lifecycle partner from concept through completion, with emphasis on safety (two consecutive COBA Commercial Safety Company of the Year awards, 2015-2016), sustainability (LEED Gold on The Current, LEED Silver on Crescent Ranger Stations, Earth Advantage Gold on Barbara's Place), and customer reference-ability.

The firm's technology and process stack centers on Building Information Modeling using Autodesk Revit for conceptual design and visualization and Navisworks Manage for cross-trade clash detection in 3D, coupled with a pre-construction development-assistance service that embeds estimators, project managers, and site superintendents during the pre-construction phase to address constructability, MEP coordination, land use approvals, and bid package development — effectively offering a developer-as-GC function. Notable recent and historical projects span a 107-unit affordable housing community (Creekside Meadows, Albany OR, 2025), a 166,371 SF LEED Gold mixed-use build with 202 units (The Current, 2024), a 153-unit apartment complex (Bellevue Crossing, 2016), a 62,000 SF student housing project (The Nest, 2020), and an ongoing 35-acre master-planned community (Sisters Woodlands).

CS Construction generates revenue through project-based general contracting fees and subcontractor markup, with pricing determined per project (commercial builds "multi-million dollar," custom residential from $1M upward) and contract cadences spanning multiple years on larger builds. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven — direct engagement on commercial RFPs, referrals in residential, and a pre-qualified trade partner network executing subcontracted scopes. Customers include 10 Barrel Brewing, Bend Neurological Associates, Cascades Academy of Central Oregon, Tillamook Air Museum, City of Madras (city hall and police station), OSU Crook County Open Campus, Midstate Electric Cooperative, Robberson Ford, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Desert Orthopedics, and Sisters Coffee Roastery, among more than 100 completed projects since 2005. The firm is privately held with no venture or private equity investment.
