Our Company
What we build, before anything, are meaningful relationships on a foundation of trust & confidence with those we work for.
We are not another construction group focused on churning out projects.
At Donato, we include the design and construction phases into a holistic approach that enables us to integrate ourselves with our clients and deliver the true essence of the project. We believe in the collective idea process in order to truly value-engineer a total project that aligns with the design intent while meeting budget targets. We believe in forging relationships with our clients in order to earn their trust and confidence.
We’re proud to be able to contribute to acquisitions throughout the brokerage community. We believe in the importance of bridging the gaps between the client, the seller, and the broker to collectively get the deal done. We place great emphasis on cultivating solid relationships with every client. The result of this thinking is a collective long-lasting relationship. Every solution is tailored to accommodate our client’s needs and we endeavor to over-deliver throughout the design and construction process.

Testimonials
“Andy Donato and the Donato Group bring an old school approach while also being at the forefront of today’s construction trends and technology. Their staff is very knowledgeable in all aspects of construction and property maintenance requirements. During our build out, Andy invested countless time and energy to make sure our plans were in order and that our needs were being met before ever being awarded our project. That type of commitment is hard to find these days, but as I learned throughout our project, the Donato Group always puts their client first and that truly sets them apart. Andy and his team helped us navigate every challenge by providing solutions instead of simply presenting problems, and their guidance and expertise proved to be invaluable as they finished our project on time and on budget. Donato Group was fully invested in our project and I would highly recommend that anyone consider using their services.”
– Brandon T. Johnson, GTJ Consulting LLC“I would like to give the construction team at the Donato Group my highest recommendation. They lead the project on two major renovations at MOVEMENT’s corporate headquarters in Clarkston, MI. as we have expanded our operations to nearly 8000 square feet. Our offices are located in a unique building that was formerly a parts factory built by Henry Ford in the early 1900’s. This historic, eclectic space provided many challenges in all phases of the project from the design and planning phase through to final construction. The entire team at the Donato Group was exceptionally professional, knowledgeable and flexible throughout the entire process. They were integral in every decision and their collaboration with all parties involved was beyond impressive. Their open communication style, complete transparency, and understanding of the vision of the final outcome could not have been better. If you require any additional information regarding the work that the Donato Group did for Movement search & Delivery, do not hesitate to contact me directly.”
– Douglas A. Scott, Headhunting Services“My wife and I have had the pleasure of working with the Donato Group through the design, construction, and delivery of our new home in Ann Arbor, MI. We built a 2,700 sq. ft. Ritz-Craft Modular home, Cape Cod style, with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2 car garage, and 9’ basement. We were impressed most by the Donato Group’s high levels of integrity and professionalism. They met each challenge with honesty and accountability – attributes that can be difficult to find in this industry. I was also impressed by the Donato Group’s dedication to us, the customer. Our previous home sold much faster than anticipated – within a week from hitting the market. Andy and his crew worked extra hard, through winter conditions, to get my family into our new home without having to obtain temporary housing. Lastly, we are extremely pleased with their workmanship. We love our new home and the relationship we have built with Andy, Daryl, and the rest of the team. We can confidently recommend the Donato Group as a reliable builder and experts in their field.”
