History[]

In 1996, Finlay Cumming established Cumming LLC in Southern California. Between 2002 and 2006, Cumming opened new offices in Northern California, Colorado, Nevada, Florida, Arizona, Texas, and Georgia. Later in 2006,[5] Cumming was named to Engineering News-Record’s listing of the Top 100 CM-for-Fee firm in the United States, and continues to receive the honor, ranking in the top 40 every year since.[6]

In 2007, the firm officially incorporated as Cumming Corporation and a year later in 2008, Cumming acquired Construction Controls Group (CCG), a Los Angeles-based program and project/construction management business. Shortly after the acquisition of CCG, Cumming acquired Southern Management Group (SMG),[7][failed verification] a South Carolina-based firm with more than 20 years of experience in program and project/construction management. Later in 2008, after several years working abroad, Cumming established Cumming International and opened its first overseas office in Abu Dhabi.

Present[]

As of 2020, Cumming had more than 30 offices internationally with more than 950 employees. According to Engineering News-Record (ENR),[8] Cumming continues to rank among the top 20 construction management firms on its annual listing of the Top 100 CM-for-Fee Firms in the United States.[9]
