INDUSTRY BRIEFS

February 15, 2013 

Cumming Corp., a San Diego-based international project and cost management firm, delivered services on more than $7 billion worth of projects in 2012, according to company President Pete Heald at a recent open house at its headquarters.

Included in the 2012 projects were the $700 million Jacobs Medical Center, $36 million Viejas Hotel, $34 million San Diego County Administration Center (CAC) Waterfront Park, and the new landmark Legoland Hotel expected to open this April.

Since opening in 1996, Cumming’s role in these projects ranges from program and project management to cost estimating and project controls, but always stays focused on serving as the owner’s advocate, officials said.

The 10,000-square-foot headquarters is an open room housing 30-plus employees, reflecting the company’s attitude toward its work.

“We have a complete 360 degree view of every project,” Heald explained.

Beyond San Diego and Southern California, the firm serves Silicon Valley tech giants out of its San Francisco offices; hospitality leaders like Marriott, Hilton, Ritz Carlton nationwide; and other public and private sector clients, reaching as far as Beijing and Abu Dhabi.
