Dear Friends,

These are no ordinary times, and our greatest wish is for everyone’s well-being and safety.

In 1818, the “three Rs” became the basics of our education system. Today, with our industry facing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, we believe there are “three new Rs” that will dominate design and construction conversations in the coming weeks: risksresources, and recovery. As leaders in owner advisory, cost and schedule management, and dispute resolution services, we have addressed our ability to proactively manage the three new Rs over the past several weeks, and with many regions re-opening construction sites, Lehrer Cumming is here to guide upcoming recovery efforts.

RISKS

The best outcomes in a design and construction project will come from ideas that make a difference. As owner advisors, and as a division of global consulting firm Cumming, Lehrer Cumming has always led from the front with innovative and creative solutions for our clients. Now is no different, and our 900+ team members across 35 offices in the USA and UK are here for you if you have a need.

  • Remobilization of trades + subcontractors and worker safety
  • Work productivity and impact to schedule
