Michael J. Castagna is no stranger to the construction industry, having twenty-five years under his belt. Coming from a large construction oriented working family, Michael is second generation construction savvy.

Michael has earned a well-deserved reputation for his knowledge, experience, professionalism, fairness, reliability, integrity, and ability to get the job done. And, on top of all that, he's a nice guy who's a pleasure to do business with.

Running his own commercial construction company was the logical culmination of all his efforts since graduating. Michael's first step was to hit the books, earning an Associate Degree in Building Construction Technology from the NH Technical College in 1979. In 1995, Michael received an Associate Degree in Architectural Engineering from NH Technical Institute.

After graduating, Michael started out in the Residential Market. From 1979 to 1983 Michael worked in building single family homes, interior and exterior remodeling, as well as multi-family and multi-tenant condo and apartment structures. Wanting to apply all the knowledge that he earned in college, he melded into the Commercial and Industrial field in 1984, where as project manager for a management/development firm he was responsible for sales, estimating, owner and sub-contractor negotiations, project scheduling coordination, and job costing. The types of projects he was involved with ranged from pre-engineered steel buildings to conventional steel frame structures. Projects included automobile dealerships, retail stores, office/warehouse buildings, and multi-tenant commercial condominiums, churches and schools.

Michael has enjoyed working for himself, having successfully owned his own Commercial Construction Management Firm from 1989 to the fall of 1998. Michael managed the design and construction of High Security R&D facilities, chemical containment facilities, medical buildings, assisted living and nursing home structures, and big box retail buildings to name a few. Toward the end of 1998 and then again in 2000, Michael accepted offers to join the staff of two other successful companies in the Construction Management Field.

However, desiring to once again own his own company, Michael wanted to create a better mousetrap. Having seen the Industry from all working application angles and understanding the areas of concern when planning, designing, and building a project, Michael decided to approach the business with a different twist.

Hence the birth of Castagna Consulting Group, LLC.
