At the heart of

Construction Cost Management (CCM)

Katy Kothmann Abraham

President

Construction Cost Management has been around Katy her entire life. Before purchasing CCM in 2012, Katy worked in sales and marketing. This experience has helped her lead CCM on a trajectory of continued growth and become one of the largest cost estimating companies in the US. When she’s not leading CCM, Katy can be found doting on CCM’s CSO (Chief Snuggles Officer) Sunny Mae and enjoying going off-the-grid in the great outdoors.

Keith Kothmann, CPE,CCI,CCC

Vice President

Keith founded Construction Cost Management in 1979. He has a deep, multi-disciplinary background in construction, estimating, and experience as a general contractor that has helped create CCM’s sterling reputation for accuracy, prompt delivery, and reliability. In 2012, Keith sold CCM to daughter Katy and transitioned into the Vice President role. Outside of CCM, Keith is an active driver in his church and leads multiple non-profit, charitable efforts.

Vicki Elridge - CCM Construction Estimating

VICKI ELDREDGE

Director of Accounting / Human Resources

Vicki joined the CCM team in 2013 and has played a significant role in its continued growth. Vicki also started a Toastmasters program within CCM to help employees improve their presentation skills while sharing their outside-work passions with co-workers. She also loves pets, and if she could, she would be a professional dog snuggler!

Cyrus Irani

Senior Estimator

A senior estimator with CCM, Cyrus joined CCM in 2015. Cyrus helps lead CCM’s estimating team in estimating construction projects, providing oversight to ensure peak accuracy in CCM’s estimates, and enjoys mentoring CCM’s junior estimators. His favorite CCM project was the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences in Bethesda. He learned a lot from the complex medical gas, laboratory waste, and multiple HVAC systems involved in the project. When Cyrus isn’t busy with estimating projects, he enjoys spending time with his grandchildren and keeping up with the latest news from around the world.

Vasu Nandyala

Estimator

Vasu joined the CCM team as an Estimator in 2019. His favorite CCM project has been repairs to Tyndall AFB in the wake of Hurricane Michael and included temporary worker housing and the development of 200 MPH wind-resistant structures. He loves the added challenge of estimating projects that need to account for shortages of labor, equipment, and material, plus the unknown conditions of the project site after an event like a hurricane. Vasu is a bit of an adrenaline junkie and complements his desk job by enjoying extreme sports with his friends.

Radhika Kulkarni

Estimator

Radhika joined the CCM team as an Estimator in 2017. A lover of architecture, she has a soft spot for courthouses. Her favorite CCM project, without a doubt, has been the Potter County Courthouse in Amarillo, plus all the additional challenges of a pandemic and labor shortage that CCM had to overcome! When she’s not busy bending over backward to help out at CCM, Radhika gained her yogi certification, and she’s increasing her flexibility for fun.

Nishant More - CCM Construction Estimating

Nishant Moore

Estimator

Nishant joined the CCM team as an Estimator in 2017 and so far his favorite project has been the Mahoning Creek Dam. The project included many interesting facets including weather conditions, elongated schedule, and split funding procurements that CCM needed to include to create an accurate estimate for the project. Nishant loves to show off his Fort Worth Stockyards style, and you can catch him enjoying the riverside city trails in the cool shade of his cowboy hat.

Vijay Purma

Estimator

Vijay joined the CCM team as an Estimator in 2020. His favorite CCM project so far has been the Grand Canyon Transcanyon Water Distribution Pipeline. This type of project was new territory for CCM with its slip line replacement process and the many logistical challenges of working on and in the Grand Canyon required much research and creativity to address. Outside of work, Vijay’s a regular shutterbug. You can find him, camera in hand, chasing down the perfect snapshot.

Tanzina Hassan

Estimator Intern

Tanzina joined the CCM team as its newest intern in 2021 and enjoys the company’s team spirit. Her favorite CCM project so far has been the Indiana National Guard Readiness Center because it involved a combination of structural repair, renovations, construction forensics, and building additions to the property. Outside of her work at CCM, Tanzina serves as an officer on the student engineering council at UTA, promotes STEM learning to underclassmen and high school students, and serves as volunteer secretary to a non-profit music organization in her local school district.
