Client Testimonials

“There’s something to be said about a hometown company that has enough firepower and bandwidth to do the projects that we’ve done and do them in a way that’s of the highest professionalism.”

"Ruhlin, as our general contractor, was very helpful in closing that budgetary delta through value engineering and through the expertise they were able to provide onsite. They were instrumental in helping us get that project from the design phase, into the ground and up-and-out construction-wise. It’s not just the estimating and building and construction, but standing behind the work as well."

“I got to work with the people that I’d heard about for years, and that experience was phenomenal because I was working with people who had been around the block. They certainly must be doing something right. To reach a milestone of 100 years, there’s a lot of depth there, a lot of experience, and reliability."

“I was very happy to see Ruhlin be able to explain the problem and not just tell me the problem but provide solutions. They laid out the cost factors involved, the positives and negatives, and it gave us the ability to make a very informed decision that was best for our students and our community. Ruhlin’s performance has been excellent, without a doubt. The Art Wright Stadium Renovation had a very short, very difficult timeframe, and they accommodated it. You always have issues, but they’ve done a great job of still meeting the deadline, providing a great product that our community is extremely proud of, and yet, for a great cost.”

"Together with Braun & Steidl Architects, with a budget that was too small, and a timeline that was constantly changed, the team put forward a dedicated and tireless effort to create a beautiful new facility that stands as one of the new landmark facilities on campus. The Ruhlin Company has been a pleasure to work with and I anticipate working with them again in the future."

“... Ruhlin consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to quality. Ruhlin put together teams that were proactive in communication, providing accurate updates through each phase of the project. We found their collaborative approach to be instrumental, fostering a strong working relationship and successful outcomes. Throughout each of the projects, Ruhlin's dedication to safety was on full display. They prioritize safety for their employees which extends to owner representatives during inspections and the public. This was appreciated as these locations are recreational hotspots for the region. Furthermore, Ruhlin's responsiveness to project needs and their ability to adapt to changing conditions made them a reliable contractor. As issues arose, they were quick to bring them to our attention and offered creative and valuable insight into our proposed solutions.”

“Hasenstab and Ruhlin have a long history of working together in Northeast Ohio and I’m happy that we are having the opportunity to serve The Ohio State University on this project. In my mind, Ruhlin really gets what it means to be a CMr partner and I know that I can speak for Regan in saying that we’re thrilled to be working with them on this one.”

“I wanted to let you know that I spoke with Dr. Fingland today and relayed to him how smoothly Hasenstab and Ruhlin has made the PET-CT Project.   I wanted you both to know that I’ve appreciated your team’s collaborative approach and I am seeing this project move forward quickly and without any surprises to date. Keep up the exceptional work,  you’re making us all look great!”

“As you begin considering CMRs for this project I would definitely give serious consideration to The Ruhlin Company, I personally would feel real comfortable having them on the team.”

“Our organization has established itself as a world leader in healthcare. The caregivers who serve our patients rely on a high performing physical environment that supports their delivery of care. Our construction vendors are an instrumental component of achieving those ends. The Ruhlin Company has for many years been a stronghold among those vendors. Whether it be routine renovations or complex phased projects in high risk environments, Ruhlin has consistently performed to our demanding standards. Their culture of safety, personalized attention, professionalism and resiliency are key attributes that consistently afford us the benefits of their services. And all this is packaged with a firm that is local to the communities we serve.”

"In my view, the Davey/Ruhlin relationship represents what a true business partnership should look like. We have partnered with Ruhlin on four sizeable projects over the past 5 years and they have thoughtfully advised us through any challenges that arose, while delivering amazing results on time and on budget. Their people and culture are tremendous, our company values align and we trust each other, making for a great business relationship."
