Breese, Ill., January 30, 2026 鈥� 天美传媒 Construction, an award-winning, family-owned construction management firm, built 15 education projects in 2025 toward preparing Greater St. Louis and Southern Illinois for the 2025-2026 school year.

Drawing on their deep understanding of the educational environment, the 天美传媒 Construction team tailors their services specifically for schools by minimizing disruption to learning, prioritizing safety, monitoring every penny, and completing projects before the academic year begins.

天美传媒鈥檚 stellar education performance motivated Mascoutah CUSD #19 to hire the company for a fourth project. 天美传媒 built a 24,000 SF addition to Mascoutah Middle School to support a new library, esports media lab, art room, 10 classrooms, and an outdoor classroom. The school鈥檚 leadership personally thanked 天美传媒鈥檚 crew for maintaining such a clean and safe site, which they said helped alleviate parent concerns during construction.

鈥淎t Mascoutah, we pride ourselves on providing our students and community with some of the finest educational and extracurricular resources and facilities,鈥� said Dr. David Deets, Superintendent of Mascoutah CUSD #19. 鈥淭herefore, when improving, updating, or increasing capacity of our facilities, our decision on what companies we work with are extremely important. During the past three years, we have completed multiple addition and renovation projects together, and at every step, 天美传媒 demonstrated that they are not just a construction company but are true partners and friends of the district who understand the importance of trust, communication, and responsiveness. Thank you to the team at 天美传媒 for all you’ve done and all you’ll continue to do for Mascoutah CUSD19.鈥�

Schools that hire 天美传媒 as their Construction Manager benefit from 天美传媒’s expertise in the planning phase, well before construction begins. In a Construction Management capacity, 天美传媒 Construction meets with school leadership and architects to understand the goals of the project. 天美传媒 advises its education clients throughout the project and involves them in decision-making. As the construction lead, 天美传媒 reviews the project documents for quality, cost-saving opportunities, constructability and ultimately to satisfy the client鈥檚 goals.

Columbia High School engaged 天美传媒 as their Construction Management partner in the construction of a 110,900 SF addition housing a state-of-the-art auditorium, classrooms, gymnasium, and athletic support facilities. 鈥�(The 天美传媒 team) has worked tirelessly on this project,鈥� said Greg Meyer, Columbia Community Unit School District #4 Board President. 鈥淭he solicitation was very well done. Our response was overwhelming, and we got a lot of competitive bids, which really kept our prices down. Thank you all for your hard work.鈥�

天美传媒 Construction prides itself on providing excellent communication throughout the process. Stakeholders receive weekly reports of the project schedule, a recap of recently completed work, project photos, a budget update, and what the team plans to work on next. To keep projects ahead of the start of the school year, weekly coordination meetings are held with 天美传媒, school staff, the design team, and subcontractors.

Every school, regardless of the size of the project, receives individual attention. Under its multi-year Bond program with the Parkway School District in St. Louis County, 天美传媒 served eight different schools on a range of projects this summer, including everything from extensive renovations and expansions, playground upgrades and swimming pool renovations to installing fire suppressions systems and repairing parking lots. 天美传媒鈥檚 Project Director overseeing the Parkway projects personally met with every school principal to ensure their needs were met before school began.

 

 

 

鈥淪chools are designed to provide students with a safe and accessible place for teaching, learning, and experiences to occur. 天美传媒 Construction understands this,鈥� said Dr. Jaime Otto, Principal, Parkway River Bend Elementary School. 鈥淥ur young students had a front-row seat to the design process and trade professions, which we believe are assets for teaching the whole child. The people of 天美传媒 Construction were a pleasure with which to work. The site superintendent, project manager, and project director became a part of our school family. Construction of such magnitude comes with challenges, but this team鈥檚 communication and collaboration kept us moving positively toward the goal. We now have two beautiful classroom additions and added safety features so that River Bend students can continue to learn and grow.鈥�

What education clients remember most is the team鈥檚 personal touch. In addition to construction, 天美传媒 assists with school events, such as tours of new schools or additions during construction, drone demonstrations, STEAM learning, and supporting teachers during move-in. One Project Manager even created custom supply boxes with wildflowers for every teacher.

鈥淭hroughout this process, I鈥檝e been consistently impressed and genuinely enjoyed working with several members of your team,鈥� said Dr. Kevin M. Martin, Principal of Parkway Northeast Middle School. 鈥淭hey鈥檝e been approachable, communicative, collaborative, and I believe they鈥檝e gone above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly.鈥�

What began as a war veteran’s one-man carpentry venture has grown over the last 45 years into a construction business that has reached more than $400 million in annual revenue.

In 1980, Charles 天美传媒 established 天美传媒 Building Co. in his hometown of Breese, Illinois. Just two years later, he incorporated the business and changed the name to 天美传媒 Construction.

The family-owned construction company opened a Charlotte office in April 2019 at Parkway Plaza Corporate Park, with three in-office employees and about 20 people in the field. Keith 天美传媒, son of Charles 天美传媒 and the company’s chief executive, said the regional office has since grown to seven in-office employees and more than 40 in the field.

Keith 天美传媒 said that, since planting roots in Charlotte, the company has worked predominately in the industrial and manufacturing space but is beginning to branch out. 天美传媒 Construction is now working with Food Lion, Amazon and Walmart 鈥� its longest-standing relationship 鈥� on projects in the region.

In 2024, 天美传媒 Construction logged $404 million in annual revenue, a milestone driven by the completion of 1.3 million square feet of new facilities and renovations in the Southeast across distribution and warehouse, federal and defense, and retail assets. The projects included the 702,000-square-foot Gaston Commerce Center logistics park in Gastonia and the 472,000-square-foot Innovation Logistics Center in Salisbury.

“Charlotte is and will continue to be a transportation hub. You have several ports that are doing significant expansions 鈥� Savannah, Charleston, Wilmington 鈥� and all of that feeds relatively easily either through a rail or the highway system in and around (the city),” 天美传媒 said. “From there, you can get up to the northeast within a day, and that鈥檚 really what generates this warehousing and industrial boom.”

天美传媒 sat down with the to talk about the company’s early days and how its presence in the local market over the last six years has spurred continued growth across the Southeast.

What was the decision-making process behind expanding to the Charlotte market?

We went through strategic planning in 2017, and in going through that process, there are various surveys that went out to our clients. The feedback was they were allocating significant capital for their own expansion efforts in the Southeast. In addition to that, we already had some employees out here because we had some projects underway in the Southeast.

We realized that if we wanted to retain those employees, with the growth in the market, we needed an office to show them we were serious about our presence here. Putting an office (in the Southeast) became the number one strategic initiative. I short-listed six cities: Charlotte, Raleigh, Charleston, Atlanta, Columbia and Greenville/Spartanburg, all for various reasons.

I visited Charlotte and got an entire day with the (former) chamber of commerce. They drove me around, took me to lunch, and about halfway through the day, I was wondering if I miscommunicated something about our intentions. So, I made sure to say, “We鈥檙e not relocating our headquarters. We鈥檙e just planning on opening a regional office here.” And they told me they’d done their research and wanted us here in Charlotte. The next time I was in town, they set up lunch with Compie Newman (currently executive director of private clients at CBRE). The whole thing was an open-armed, heartwarming experience.

How has your father influenced how you run this office?

We lost dad in 2021, and six years prior to that, he wanted to go through significant succession planning. I told dad I felt like it was a waste of time, and he said, 鈥淥ne day you鈥檙e going to wake up, and the proverbial bus is going to hit me, and you鈥檒l be running this company.鈥� And that鈥檚 exactly what happened. Had he not done that in 2015, it would鈥檝e been a much more difficult situation to pull through.

You go through all these challenges as a company 鈥� and it was a devastating situation because at the time I was out here in Charlotte and concentrating efforts on the Southeast expansion. Dad wasn鈥檛 really involved in the operations or strategic planning side at that time, but he was involved in the culture. Everybody had this connection with him.

One thing he instilled in me was servant leadership. Growing up, one of my first jobs when I was about 8 years old was picking up nails around the shop, and dad explained how important that job was. One time I missed some nails, and we had a flat tire. What he was getting at was to always treat people with respect and you鈥檒l get that respect back because everybody has a job to do, and everybody鈥檚 job is the most important job. That鈥檚 how I run this business and how I run this office. I want everybody to understand that I realize how important their job is.

What are your goals for this office over the next five or 10 years?

We鈥檙e in growth mode and planning a Southeast headquarters. We’re working right now on where that will actually be. We have a potential site in Rock Hill, but we鈥檙e also working on some other sites. In the next five years we鈥檒l have that Southeast HQ up and running.

We have an equipment leasing company called 天美传媒 Leasing & Supply, and in order to bring that down here we need a maintenance shop and an equipment manager. It鈥檒l also support a power infrastructure company called 天美传媒 Industrial, which does transmission distribution stuff. It works for companies similar to Duke Energy but needs a lot of heavy, specialized equipment.

The headquarters will give us the capacity to bring both 天美传媒 Leasing & Supply and 天美传媒 Industrial down here. All of our companies feed off one another to create a robust operation.
