Bowie State University, Field House Bowie, MD

Bowie State University’s sports programs are growing and are expected to continue doing so into the future. To meet this demand, the University has identified the need for a new multi-purpose field house adjacent to their current sports facilities. This new addition, which includes the partial renovation of an existing facility, includes catering, locker rooms, and multi-use space. The site’s landscaping includes the creation of a bio-retention area.

This project consisted of the construction of a new six-story, 250-bed facility at the existing Catholic University Campus in Washington, D.C. The ground floor of the facility included more communal space for student study, a commons area, kitchen, and student offices. The upper floors are primarily bed floors for both students and faculty. Cumming’s scope of work included in-depth conceptual cost master-planning on multiple siting locations, building orientation options, and estimating modular vs. traditional “stick-built” construction. The latter required analysis on capital costs, maintenance costs, life cycle cost support, and master schedule analysis.

Program & Project Management

Project management is about leadership. To Cumming, this means more than just administering a project – it means actively motivating and managing teams to generate results for our clients. The earlier a client engages us as their project manager, the more value we can offer. Cumming develops a sound management strategy at the outset. We explore and submit viable alternatives for project delivery, assist you in understanding your options, and propose the most efficient methods for implementing your plan. Each project or program is executed with superb precision and a keen eye toward budget, quality, and schedule.

Cost Management & Estimating

Clients need to know the total cost of their project as early as possible in the development process. As the project progresses, you want to make sure your project is developing within budget, and that you are getting the best value for your investment. Cumming’s cost management group – one of the largest provider of cost estimating and management services in the United States – fills this need. As your trusted cost advisor employing the latest in aggressive time and cost

management methods, we ensure that any decisions you make are made with a complete understanding of the impact those decisions will have on both the short-term and long-term cost of the project. Additionally, Cumming provides fiscal discipline and problem-solving support through all phases of your project to ensure delivery within budget.

Dispute Resolution & Avoidance

Unfortunately, disputes can and do arise during construction. Some can be neutralized if caught early, while others are more complex and require an extended commitment of problem-solving resources. In any case, our team of claims analysts, schedulers, and litigation specialists provide the careful analysis and expert guidance needed to handle disputes quickly, quietly, and with as little impact on the project as possible. Having been in the business for many years, our staff – most of whom have also been owners, designers, or builders in key construction sectors – know what to look for and how to achieve positive results on our clients’ behalf. If litigation becomes necessary, our seasoned testifiers are available to serve as your expert witness.

The delivery of each project on budget, on schedule, and on quality is our primary goal for every client. Cumming’s core philosophy is “Manage each project like we own it.” This means much more than administering a project by attending meetings and taking notes. Our project managers proactively lead, challenge,

and motivate teams to generate superb results that save money and time, mitigate risk, and achieve our clients’ delivery goals. Our core program and project management tenets include:

Leadership — Cumming knows that for a project team to be successful, it must be inspired, unified, and led with confidence and knowledge. To do all of this takes a strong and thoughtful leader. It is common in the industry for project managers to be experts after the fact; at Cumming, our experienced project leaders have seen it all, and are able to provide the foresight and vision necessary to avoid pitfalls, provide creative solutions, and protect our clients from claims and disputes.

Experience — Cumming’s project managers have extensive experience as former owners, contractors, developers, architects, and engineers, in all sectors of the construction industry. We combine this experience with proactive leadership to produce superior results.

Accountability — Cumming holds our executives and our project teams accountable for results — no excuses. Nothing short of delivery on budget, on schedule, and on quality is an acceptable outcome.

Efficiency — Overstaffing the project management role is common in the industry, and results in redundancies and inefficiencies that in turn result in disputes. Cumming right-sizes project staffing, holds the entire project team accountable, and supplements their efforts only where needed to provide our clients with seamless project delivery.

Controls and Reporting — At Cumming, we tailor our extensive controls to mesh flawlessly with the controls of our clients, and to produce complete and transparent reporting, with full disclosure of all risks and opportunities. We do not impose the use of a single management system platform; instead, we use a variety of management systems and are always flexible. We do whatever it takes to meet or exceed our clients’ requirements.

From planning and design through construction and close out, Cumming has the expertise and dedication needed to work as your devoted advocate and achieve the best possible results for your project.

Simply stated, our goal is to work on your behalf to minimize risk and maximize the value of your project. We achieve this through a unique, proactive approach to cost management.

Cumming’s guiding principles:

Proactive Approach — We have a proven track record of saving our clients time and money, while preserving project quality through our proactive approach to cost management. We plan, control, and manage project costs from conception through successful completion.

Detailed Budgets — Our comprehensive budget estimates are based on well-researched cost data and contain a level of detail more extensive than the industry standard. This ensures a realistic and accurate basis for the project and, when combined with our comprehensive cost control services, prevents budget overruns.

Continuous Involvement — As an integral part of the design process, our continuous and disciplined management of project costs results in timely, well-informed design and business decisions. This approach leads to the early identification of potential cost issues, which in turn reduces the delays and expenses associated with unnecessary redesign.

Value Management — You will benefit from our creative value management techniques. Our efforts help to assure program integrity, preserve design intent and eliminate unnecessary project costs.

Efficiency — Overstaffing the project management role is common in the industry, and results in redundancies and inefficiencies that in turn result in disputes. Cumming right-sizes project staffing, holds the entire project team accountable, and supplements their efforts only where needed to provide our clients with seamless project delivery.

Forward-looking Solutions — When it comes to managing project costs, nobody likes surprises. Unlike others, we don’t wait for the market to change. We accurately forecast market trends and advise our clients accordingly. Our continual analysis of productivity, material, labor, and micro and macro level market conditions ensure that our budgets and estimates are comprehensive and accurate.

State-of-the-Art Tools — Cumming is at the forefront of the BIM revolution. We integrate with the 5D environment, creating cost models in collaboration with your entire project team to maximize value and minimize risk. Our team approach at the outset of design ensures an accurate basis for both cost and schedule, while providing a value-added review of constructability issues.
