Bowman’s Geospatial Division Delivers Advanced LiDAR Ceiling Scanning Techniques to Cuhaci Peterson

By Press Release

January 17, 2023

Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Bowman”) (NASDAQ: BWMN) announced that Cuhaci Peterson™, a nationally-recognized architecture and engineering firm, has teamed with Bowman’s geospatial division to deliver time and cost savings for their clients by utilizing Bowman’s minimally invasive ceiling scanning techniques.

Interior scanning of structures that have ceiling tiles, like grocery stores, presents a challenge for efficiency and accuracy for surveyors. Bowman took on this challenge to develop a new and proven technique that is simple, elegant, accurate, and most of all, repeatable in other environments.

Prior to developing this technique, ground level 3-D scanning in an open interior environment was simple enough. However, tying that information to the scanning data above the ceiling tiles was difficult unless they were all removed, which is inefficient and time consuming. For Bowman’s geospatial team, the key was finding a way to tie the scans vertically throughout the space at different elevations, then mapping them horizontally to develop the entire landscape of the structure. Cuhaci Peterson was specifically looking for a national partner who could provide this type of service, in a timely manner and within their data requirements, for structures that were 60,000-100,000 square feet.

The wealth of data provided by Bowman in just two evenings of scanning, allowed Cuhaci Peterson to streamline the development of recent commercial designs with precise knowledge of both the visible building interior and above ceiling structure of the facility. Bowman’s scanning revealed previously unknown information about the structure that could only have been discovered using this technique.

“When we saw the sophisticated detail that Bowman’s geospatial team could provide, along with the efficiency of their processes, we knew that it would allow us to deliver a real advantage to our clients,” said Bryon McCarthy, Cuhaci Peterson principal. “It is a win whenever we can bring time and cost efficiency into our design process. Bowman has proven to be a solid, and innovative, asset in delivering on this commitment to our clients.”

“Bowman continues to evaluate and refine new scanning capabilities to deliver incredible detail and data accuracy to forward-thinking firms like Cuhaci Peterson,” said Marc Olmeda, PLS, Bowman principal. “Our processes have proven to be exceptionally effective in retail and other difficult to access environments.”

Headquartered in Reston, Virginia, Bowman is an engineering services firm delivering infrastructure solutions to customers who own, develop, and maintain the built environment.

Attendees included not only project managers but also support staff from the company’s offices in Boston, Central Florida, Philadelphia and Phoenix, as well as its remote locations.

“We wanted to get a vast and deep array of people here to understand these principles because they’re really all involved in the project management process in some way,” noted Bo Newman, the firm’s chief financial officer. “The more people understand it, the more we can start to affect the outcome, like seeing improvements in our project delivery, financial performance and client satisfaction.

Cuhaci Peterson to Reveal Four Key Innovation Insights at Convenience Foodservice Exchange

Cuhaci Peterson to Reveal Four Key Innovation Insights at Convenience Foodservice Exchange

By Press Release

June 7, 2022

Firm will prepare convenience store operators for the future state of the industry.

Cuhaci Peterson, a Central-Florida based architecture and engineering firm, is set to kick off the Innovation Zone at this year’s Convenience Foodservice Exchange (CFX) in Savannah, Georgia on June 21-22 at the Marriott Savannah Riverfront.

Greg Simpson, the firm’s chief executive officer, and Nathan Griffis, principal and convenience market leader, will give attendees of the exclusive content-rich executive summit critical tips on how to remain relevant, stand out and defeat barriers to entry… all while embracing future technologies.

“Food is the final frontier in the changing landscape of convenience and finding a way to create compelling food choices close to the customer’s home is a big segment differentiator,” explained Simpson. “The larger convenience brands already leverage quality food as an income driver. Technology and innovation can level the playing field so that smaller operators can compete and drive their revenue.”

The firm’s presentation, titled “Small is the New Big: The Future State of Convenience, Innovation and Food,” will take a closer look at adoption, cost, hybridization and emerging technologies, and connect the puzzle pieces to prepare convenience store operators for the future state of the industry.

“We are excited to discuss the evolving state of convenience with a group that we believe are critical to the future success of the industry,” said Nathan Griffis.

“We are excited to discuss the evolving state of convenience with a group that we believe are critical to the future success of the industry,” Griffis said. “Our goal is to share vision and encourage these food service team members and leaders to continue innovating using new and existing technologies, while balancing the reality that one size fits one.”

With the blurring of convenience, grocery and restaurants, Cuhaci Peterson is using its thought leadership, services and unique design solutions to help brands keep up with the evolving landscape.

“For convenience to stay convenient it has to continue to innovate. I mean they’re accepting crypto,” noted Griffis. “They have a little chip on their shoulder and they’re always fighting against somebody bigger, whether it’s grocery or otherwise. So, they have to continue to innovate.”

Cuhaci Peterson, TLC Management Team Up on New Florida Senior Living Centers

Cuhaci Peterson, TLC Management Team Up on New Florida Senior Living Centers

By Press Release

April 30, 2021

Cuhaci Peterson and TLC Management have teamed up once again to provide top-of-the-line senior living facilities with the opening of two new facilities in Florida. Wesley Chapel’s Blue Heron Senior Living officially opened its doors with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wed. April 28 and was followed by Oak Hill Senior Living (Brooksville) on Thu. April 29. Both facilities offer a wide variety of comfortable amenities and customized facilities including:

Some of the unique amenities include:

  • Lounges, family rooms & dining rooms
  • Beautiful enclosed courtyards and gardens
  • Cafe/bistro with wine bar
  • Theater
  • Life enrichment centers
  • Salon/spa
  • Computers, Internet and cable TV
  • Advanced rehabilitation center
  • Private dining room for family gatherings
  • Art Studio (Blue Heron)
  • Outdoor fun including a putting green, bocce ball court, fire pit, gas BBQ grill and much more

At the 156,745 square-foot Blue Heron facility, residents will find 104 private units in their skilled nursing facility, 73 assisted living apartments and 22 private memory care units, in order to provide a continuum of care. At the 131,669 square-foot Oak Hill facility, residents will find 109 private units in their skilled nursing facility, 41 assisted living apartments and 20 private memory care units, in order to provide a continuum of care.

Both facilities were designed to house large rehabilitation centers including advanced technological state-of-the-art equipment. Cuhaci Peterson provided custom building and site designs for each of the new facilities that were tailored to the TLC vision for enhanced resident experiences and operational efficiencies to provide the highest level of resident care.

“Rather than providing separate buildings for each resident function, the Oak Hill facility building design utilized interconnected buildings for centralized shared support and operations which allowed for a portion of the site to remain available for future development by TLC. This was an added benefit to the client,” said C&P project coordinator Scott Parker.

“For the Blue Heron location, the consolidation of the buildings was further enhanced to address the angular geometry and smaller size of the site. This was achieved in part with taller ALF and skilled nursing buildings which also provided a more compact building footprint and increased lakeside views. The angular connections also created individual courtyards for each type of resident,” Parker furthered.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the sudden passing of our firm’s co-founder, Lonnie Peterson. Although he retired from CP in 2016, the sound of Lonnie’s signature laugh could be heard long after his office was empty. If you ever met him, the impression he made was a lasting one.

Many of you knew him through his connection to the commercial real estate industry and his long association with the International Council of Shopping Centers. We offer our condolences to his wife, Karen, and his extended family, especially Karah Wilson, his niece, who works for the firm today. As service information becomes available, we will honor the family’s wishes in our announcements.

Sincerely,

Gregory Simpson, CEO

To honor his legacy of achievement to future generations in a profession he loved, CP and the ICSC Foundation have partnered to create the Lonnie G. Peterson Scholarship. Should you wish to donate in Lonnie’s honor and memory, donations can be made through the ICSC Foundation. Make checks payable to ICSC Foundation, Memo Line: Lonnie G.

Panel Discussion: Merchandising Success in Format-Flexible Worlds

New Cuhaci Peterson Microsite Targets Future of Retail Shopping

By Press Release

October 15, 2020

Cuhaci Peterson is pleased to announce the launch of its new microsite, https://futureshop.c-p.com/, which provides an exciting look at accelerated changes driving broad categories of retail transformation, next generation e-commerce and omni channel retail.

Today’s retail disruption represents a time of opportunity as the pace and future of retail transformation increases. The hybridization of retail formats continues to merge traditional, defined models. The blurring of store platforms includes: Omnichannel, logistics, disruptive real estate effects, and increased use of automation and technology. Increasingly, consumers are demanding an unlimited assortment of products, immediate fulfillment to autonomous delivery, and a willingness to pay less. As these demands are fulfilled by retailers, many stores will disappear or become consolidated.

“At the core, Hybrid Shopping is the ‘phygital’ experience,” said Steven Duffy, Senior Vice President of Design at the firm.

The concept replaces areas of the center store gondola with the AutoStore robotic storage, disrupts current retail models and represents the future of grocery retailing. We have received significant interest by reimagining the future of grocery as we know it. It is the store of tomorrow.

Why the need for Hybrid Shopping?
“We believe there’s a better, quicker and more cost-effective solution, which is robotics through microfulfillment,” Duffy added.

Accelerated change is upon us. Retail has reached an inflection point based upon the pandemic and the eGrocery industry is in the epicenter. The remaining stores will condense in size and need to fundamentally reshape their retail experience to fit the new landscape. This tectonic disruption is not one that will impact retailers in the future, but one that is being felt today. Cuhaci Peterson is making sure that those necessary solutions exist now.

Cuhaci Peterson Participates in Microfulfillment Whitepaper with George Utz Inc.

Cuhaci Peterson Participates in Microfulfillment Whitepaper with George Utz Inc.

By Press Release

April 29, 2020

Omnichannel and microfulfillment have a become an undeniable part of the grocery life cycle. The question for retailers is how to adopt them into their business models in a way that is scalable now and can be built upon moving forward. The circumstances surrounding Covid-19 have become a catalyst with regard to moving the need for safe and efficient grocery with less person-to-person contact. Microfulfillment provides high-capacity fulfillment, designed to operate around the clock, and it addresses both labor and the economic pressures experienced by grocers in their quest to deliver upon today’s increased eCommerce demands.

Recently, Cuhaci Peterson Senior Vice President of Design, Steven Duffy, served as a resource for the team at George Utz, Inc., as part of a white paper that delves into how microfulfillment will support the next wave of retail innovation, enabling a safer, more efficient and convenient shopping experience.

“Looking ahead to a post-COVID world, Duffy expects the microfulfillment trend to grow significantly over the next 12 months. And while some early innovators encountered challenges because the technology vendors didn’t understand complexity of the grocery space, Duffy says that has since changed.”
