Cumming Group, an international project management and cost consultancy, announced that BTTC, an infrastructure consultancy specializing in the rail and energy markets, has merged with the global construction solutions provider. This strategic move significantly enhances Cumming Group’s capabilities and growth opportunities in the infrastructure sector internationally. 

Established in 2016, BTTC focuses on the delivery of complex infrastructure projects across the UK and Canada. The firm has built a strong reputation providing critical program management, commercial management, and strategic advisory services for some of the industry’s largest and fastest-growing transportation agencies across the public and private sectors.

The merger aligns with Cumming Group’s long-term strategy of continued diversification across the broad spectrum of the built environment while establishing Cumming Group’s first major foothold in Canada – providing the combined firm with the necessary expertise and geographic presence to continue its expansion in the North American infrastructure market. 

Craig Maunder, CEO UK & Europe of Cumming Group, expressed his enthusiasm about the merger, stating, “The integration of BTTC into Cumming Group represents a considerable step in our strategic expansion within the rail infrastructure sector. This merger strengthens our United Kingdom operations while providing us with valuable Canadian infrastructure expertise that we can expand throughout North America.”

Rob Offord, Managing Director at BTTC, added, “Joining Cumming Group marks an exciting new chapter for BTTC and our staff. This partnership not only provides us with the resources and reach of a global organization but also creates tremendous opportunities for our employees to continue developing their careers across multiple regions and markets. By combining our specialized rail expertise with Cumming Group’s diverse portfolio and established presence, we are uniquely positioned to deliver exceptional value to our clients while taking on larger and more complex projects across the UK, Canada, and beyond.”

The merger provides Cumming Group with an additional 95 talented team members. BTTC will continue to operate from its existing locations in the UK and Canada, maintaining its strong local presence while benefiting from Cumming Group’s global network and resources.
