Since our founding, Construction Solutions Group has embraced the opportunity to work throughout Connecticut. From schools and municipal facilities to colleges and recreational centers, we take pride in applying our expertise to meaningful projects in the state we call home.

Witnessing the joy on a student's face as they step into a freshly renovated or brand-new school makes every hour we put in worthwhile, and when our project teams are recognized for their efforts, it affirms that our work is about more than just budgets and schedules, plans and specs—it's about enriching communities through a collaborative design and construction process.

Two of our projects were recognized at last month’s Connecticut Building Congress 28th Annual Project Team & Scholarship Awards Celebration. CSG was honored for its contributions to two award-winning projects, taking home first place in the Large Pre-K-12 Schools category for the Cranbury Elementary School in Norwalk and first place in the Large Civil category for the Innis Arden Golf Club in Greenwich.

However, the pinnacle of the evening was the Project Team of the Year Award, which celebrated the exceptional work on the new Cranbury Elementary School. Our team, led by project manager Michael Faenza, worked in collaboration with architect Antinozzi Associates and construction manager Newfield Construction to provide OPM services for the design and construction of the impressive 62,288-square-foot facility. This prestigious award underscores the cooperation, teamwork, and dedication of all project partners and stakeholders.

"At the end of the day, it's a school where kids need to learn,” says Project Manager Mike Faenza. “With the work at Cranbury, we took it a little further; we were really concerned with how the building operates when we're gone. Especially on this project, I think we've met the perfect synergy between form and function – a testament to all the project partners' work on this school."

At CSG, we are honored to work on such meaningful projects across Connecticut, enhancing educational facilities and contributing to the state’s growth and development. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the winning teams, including the owners, architects, engineers, consultants, contractors, subcontractors, service providers, and suppliers. Your collective efforts were critical in making these award-winning projects a reality.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We’re looking forward to continuing to support Connecticut in the years ahead.
