About Us

Cumming Group is a leading independent property and construction consultancy with expertise across a broad range of sectors and disciplines.

Our bespoke services are delivered by a talented team of project managers and surveyors throughout the UK and across the EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa) and US regions, where we enjoy long-standing relationships based on hard work, mutual respect, and a commitment to adding value at every step of a project’s development. We are attentive listeners who think strategically, manage decisively, and always act with our clients’ best interests at heart.

Deep Roots

Cumming Group was established in the US in 1996 by UK born Finlay Cumming. Delivering superior project management and cost consulting on some of the largest and most significant projects across the United States, the company steadily grew from a handful of team members during its early days to more than 1,400 today. Here in the UK, after merging with three of the country’s most highly regarded property and building consultancies, Cumming Group’s team are comprised of 150 professionals offering bespoke, principal-led services from offices in London, Manchester, Stoke-on-Trent, and Edinburgh. Now operating as one seamless organisation, Cumming Group delivers superior value and problem-solving on a wide range of large and complex schemes.

The Expansion of Cumming Group in the EMEA Region

From 1996, when Finlay Cumming first formed the organisation in the US, up until today, we have worked hard to continuously innovate and evolve. By hiring the most talented and hardest working professionals we could find, and then by merging with like-minded UK-based firms who placed a similar emphasis on client service and satisfaction, we further realised Finlay’s vision to become a leading global consultancy.
