We are proud to have worked alongside HDR on another remarkable project: the National Mall and Memorial Parks Seawall Rehabilitation. These structures safeguard the Jefferson Memorial, Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial, Japanese Pagoda, and Potomac Parks. However, since its construction, some sections have settled as much as 5 feet, leading to daily overtopping by water, causing damage and hazards to visitors.

This past North Texas Giving Day, CCM was happy to donate $2,500 in matching funds to the Texas Sporting Breed Rescue, Inc. (TSBR). The nonprofit works to provide the welfare, shelter, and adoption of dogs and puppies around the DFW area. In the past year, dog food prices have increased by as much as 32% with quality brands. This has resulted in a more than $5,000 increase in food expenses alone for TSBR. Visit TSBR’s website to learn more about its efforts, and donate to show your support.

Curious about the role of an estimator in construction? What distinguishes the role of an estimator at a general or trade contractor from that of an independent estimator? #ConstructionCostManagement? Here’s what our founder, Keith Kothmann, has to share: “Estimators for prime contractors use data submitted in RFPs, aggregating numbers from subcontractors and adding a thing here and there. At CCM, we build our estimate from the bottom up, line-by-line, to provide a comprehensive package. Our job starts with an idea drawn out on a napkin ...and includes the price to demo it 50 or 75 years later.” #CareersinConstructionMonth #CICM

This was a busy month for two of our #CCM team members. Larry Eldredge (IT/Cyber Security—Estimator-in-Training) attended the ASPE National summit in Cincinnati, Ohio. This annual event strives to optimize estimators' outcomes by showcasing new and transformative tools and methods. Our CEO/President Katy Kothmann Abraham was also in Cincinnati this month, serving as the sitting President for this year’s CERT (Consulting Estimators Round Table) Conference. This event, which our company is proud to be a part of, is a platform where estimators discover how their shared ideas and best practices can help revolutionize their individual practices. #buildcostcontrol #estimatorsknow

Halfway through #NationalConstructionAppreciationWeek and we can't stress enough how crucial construction is to our nation and economy. Let's take a moment to highlight three bridge projects we're proud to be a part of: - Mahoning Service Bridge, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania - Panther Island Pedestrian Bridges, Tarrant County, Texas - George Washington Memorial Parkway Bridge Preservation Bridges are lifelines of our infrastructure, bringing communities together and enhancing transportation. We're thrilled to contribute to the restoration and maintenance of these vital bridges. #Construction #Infrastructure #Bridges

Today, we pause to remember and honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001. As we reflect on that dark day nearly a quarter of a century ago, it reminds us of the value of our strong community. Our thoughts are with all those who were affected, and we stand together in remembrance and respect. #NeverForget #911Remembrance
