Constantine Commercial Constr., Inc.

Prior to the inception of Constantine Commercial Construction, Inc. in April 1988, Michael began his construction career with a local contractor. His thirteen year tenure with this firm saw his quick progression from Project Clerk to Project Manager and finally the position of Executive Vice President.

With over thirty years of experience in the construction industry, and completion of over 6 million square feet of tenant improvements, along with his strong leadership skills and demand for client satisfaction, Michael has placed Constantine Commercial as a leader in the industry.

The best testament of his dedication to complete projects on time and within budget can be further realized by the impressive list of repeat and satisfied clients. These clients include, but are not limited to, Deutsche Bank/Alex. Brown; Greenebaum and Rose Associates; Legg Mason Wood Walker; Ober, Kaler, Grimes and Shriver; Miles & Stockbridge; and Colliers Pinkard, to name just a few.

Michael has worked with several schools in the community on a pro-bono basis. He has assisted with Construction Management services for the St. Francis Academy Athletic Center, the Notre Dame Preparatory School Athletic Center as well as Calvert Hall College Education Building.

As Chair of the Buildings and Grounds Committee for Notre Dame Prep, he developed a ten-year Building Maintenance Program. This plan allows for future Board Members to implement the many necessary steps, and budgetary considerations essential to maintaining the high levels associated with the School.

He is also active in several Associations including Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), International Facilities Management Association (IFMA) and an Associated Member of the local AIA Chapter.

Shawn Gardini started his employment with Constantine Commercial Construction in the spring of 1995 as a carpenter with considerable experience on both the commercial and residential sides of construction. Within six months of his hiring, Shawn was promoted to lead foreman due to his strong knowledge of carpentry and his ability to work hand-in-hand with fellow employees and subcontractors, taking charge smoothly.

That same take-charge ability, coupled with a strong leadership quality, saw Shawn promoted to project superintendent. During Shawn's tenure as a project superintendent, he proved to be more than capable in coordinating subcontractors, keeping projects on schedule and liaising with architects and design teams, while bringing projects to a successful fruition.

Shawn excelled in his communication skills not only with subcontractors and employees, but with ownership and tenants as well, making it possible to keep projects on schedule. Based on his experience, he is able to foresee problems or delays before they impact the job and suggest time or money savings options to owners and tenants.

As a project superintendent, his experience with all phases of the construction process, combined with his communication skills, attention to detail and high organizational ability, led to his being promoted to project manager.

Shawn's abilities and experience working in occupied and unoccupied spaces, as well as interior and exterior projects, make him ideally suited for project management.
