Services

Although there are many aspects to being a General Contractor, one remains consistent, our commitment to Client Satisfaction. The Ruhlin Company prides itself on clear and consistent communication with the project owner, diligent oversight of the schedule and continuous attention to our safety program adherence.

We provide a team that has experience to match the project we are building. Ruhlin will manage the day-to-day activities of our self-performing crews and subcontractors including site, structural, mechanical, plumbing, electrical and other specialty trades to construct your facility. We will oversee the quality and safety of the project. Because of our diverse in-house self-performance capabilities, as General Contractors, we can provide you more control over the schedule.

The first objective as your Construction Manager is for us to determine the goals that will make the project a success for you. We will then tailor our services around meeting those goals.

As Construction Manager, we oversee the construction project from the planning and design phases, through bidding and construction, to the commissioning and occupancy phases. As an experienced Construction Manager, we start working on the project at a much earlier phase than we would as a GC. This allows us to put our lessons learned to work for you to plan, estimate, schedule and bid the construction of your project. We will actively look for ways to save cost on the project without compromising the goals or quality of the project.

As Managers of Construction, we represent our client’s best interest and work closely with the architects, engineers, subcontractors and suppliers to achieve project goals. Additionally, we offer our clients value added services to enhance the quality, costs and schedule, such as sustainable construction, BIM services, Prefab and Lean construction.

THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT APPROACHES & AGREEMENTS WE OFFER, INCLUDING:

As a Design-Builder, the Ruhlin Company offers our clients a single point of contact and contract for all of the project design, engineering and construction services. The goal of this approach is to save time and money. We will work with you early in the process to outline the goals of the project for quality, cost and schedule and align our services to meet those goals. We will work with architects and engineers who specialize in the project type being designed. Ruhlin will actively manage the project through the preconstruction, construction and project close-out stages. This single source delivery method gives the owner a team who are all unified in working towards meeting the project parameters.

Clear communication is key to the success of a DB project with both the owner and the DB team. Ruhlin has been honing our DB delivery approach for over 30 years.

As your Owner Agent, we manage the design and construction team as an extension of your staff to represent your interests and keep the project moving forward in a smooth fashion. We bring our expertise of the built environment to your project. We will actively manage the project to meet your schedule, cost, safety and quality goals. You will know when decisions need to be made and the options that are available to you at every step.

Our services include hiring and negotiating with the architect and contractor, review of the drawings for compliance with overall project goals, project progress reports, reviewing installed work and assisting with project close out.
