DRIVERESULTS
Change is one of the few constants in today’s building climate. New delivery methods are routinely explored, labor and material costs are in flux due to macro- and micro-level market shifts, and owners’ needs are continuously evolving as communities and organizations seek to implement new building initiatives. Cumming continuously anticipates trends and we work hard to adjust our services to meet our clients’ immediate and long-term needs. Cumming is a dynamic, adaptable consulting firm that has evolved over the years in direct response to the needs of our clients. We actively look for ways to provide additional value to the organizations and projects we serve.
PROGRAM & PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Cumming offers fully integrated project management services throughout design and construction; we represent the owner by providing the technical expertise, leadership, and resources needed to drive the process and motivate teams to achieve successful project outcomes. We do this by first understanding the client’s vision and then efficiently and collaboratively shepherding the process and team to achieve their goals. All projects have multiple moving parts; the importance of controlling these various components is critical. Our project managers provide continuity and consistency by developing and maintaining budgets and schedules, offering value engineering options, and mitigating risk.
COST MANAGEMENT & ESTIMATING
At Cumming, our cost management team is an integral part of every one of our assignments. Controlling cost is an essential ingredient to the success of any project, and it starts with knowing the total cost of the project as early as possible in the development process. This is why we develop comprehensive project budgets at the outset, and then closely monitor these budgets as the project progresses. Our diligent approach provides clients with up-to-date information along with the opportunity to maximize their return on investment.
Cumming’s cost management group, which is one of the largest providers of cost estimating and management services in the United States, works on more than 300 projects per month. This experience gives us an unparalleled volume of industry knowledge, which we use to provide unbiased, detailed, and critical analyses of our clients’ project costs and risks.
