Pre-Construction Services
We work with the owner and the design team in the early phase of drawings, to provide value engineering and suggestions for siting, constructability, budget and scheduling. Within our Preconstruction services, we act as a value-added member of the design team, enhancing the design segment of the job by providing accurate pricing information and marrying the budget to the actual design.
By incorporating items such as sustainability and maintenance costs into our design review, our suggestions can often save the owner money well into the future. Our pre-construction team works to reduce the overall project cost by saving time, labor and expenses. The result is a building designed to the owner's specifications, within budget and with no surprises.
General Contractor
As a General Contractor, our services begin with pricing. We bid out the job in predetermined packages, and verify the validity of the bids using our extensive cost histories. During actual construction, we manage the day to day activity on the job, including safety, quality control and adherence to the schedule. We also provide bonding for the project and hold all subcontractor contracts, unless instructed to do otherwise by the owner. We have the ability to self-perform many aspects of our work, giving us greater control over the schedule and allowing us to truly drive the project.
Construction Manager
Our Construction Management (CM) team is closely involved in the planning and design phase and typically joins the project at the same time as the architect. We provide input on constructability, budget, and schedule, which reduces costs. During the construction phase, our full-time supervision team is on-site, monitoring work to assure compliance with specifications, budget and schedule.
Our CM team also acts as a liaison to the owner providing the on-going status of the project, producing monthly progress reports which detail the status of the job from start to finish.
We are familiar with all of the project delivery types, including:
  • CM-at-Risk
  • CM Agency
  • Design Build
  • Single Prime
  • Multi Prime
 
Design Builder
Our expertise also extends to Design-Build Construction. After first examining the specifications of the owner, we team with a design firm that has extensive experience in similar projects. This Design-Build team then acts as a cohesive unit with the designer developing the building's specifications, while we perform the constructability review.
During construction, our Design-Build team then acts as the single source of information for all design and construction issues. This creates a more effective line of communication between everyone involved with the project, which leads to a more successful project delivery system.
Strategic Partner
As a Strategic Construction Partner, we operate as an extension of our client's own staff, overseeing both project construction and facilities management. Within this role, we create a "construction program" in which we manage design review, budgeting, scheduling, quality control, safety, and security, as well as any other client requested items. This project delivery method is best suited for an organization with multiple projects or facilities because it provides a consistent, measurable program through every phase of the construction process which can be extended to any location or facility.
Building Information Modeling
RML Construction culture is one of collaboration and cooperation. This culture provides us with the ability to listen to our clients, subcontractors and vendors in an effort to discover the best means possible to provide the team with an outstanding construction experience. This ability to listen enables us to maintain successful working relationships with clients, subcontractors and vendors while implementing cutting-edge technology on our projects.
One such innovation is the use of Building Information Modeling (BIM). Our team has extensive project experience and clearly understands the value that BIM can add to the outcome of a project. Our team’s expertise will benefit the project’s planning and construction management process - from the pre-bid phase through the commissioning phase. This is accomplished by executing a properly guided team approach and by harvesting and transforming the data embedded in BIM models into valuable information. BIM can be utilized through the full life cycle of a project:
Planning:
Automated Quantity take-offs in which whatever limited information is available is fed into the model, assumptions are then made to fill out the model and then quantities (and therefore pricing) can be spit out.
Design:
  • Visualization for the owner to picture their future project
  • Laser Scan Surveying (renovations, poor or no as-builts)
  • Design Estimating – efficient quantity take-offs that can then be applied to cost histories
  • Clash Detection of different system
Construction:
  • Field Layout – planning, site logistics, visualize building footprint relative to lay-down area
  • Field Visualization – think pre-fab, an image of a virtual rack and then the rack as built in the field
  • Trade Coordination – in field clash detection, conflict resolution
  • Scheduling – sequencing, trade coordination, visualization of the progress of the job
  • Shop Drawing – no potential for information lost in translation because models of designer and contractors “talk to each other.” (design to construction translation)
  • O + M Manuals – again no opportunity for information lost in translation because model of contractor and facility’s maintenance “talk to each other.” (construction to maintenance translation)
Facilities Management:
Tying the BIM Model into a CAFM (computer aided facilities management system) for the ongoing operations and maintenance of the facility.
Education
Our team’s experience in the education construction arena is impressive. As a builder, a trades contractor, and a Construction Manager, we have been building schools. RML is currently managing numerous education contracts, we have both the capability and capacity to build your schools. In addition, our team’s estimating accuracy has been -0.5% in the past years.
 
RML Construction Building Work
Our team has extensive experience with schools, office buildings, and worship spaces to fulfill any construction needs, whether that be an addition, restoration or new construction. We bring the "down to earth" approach that client's appreciate, coupled with the wealth of experience and know-how that comes from being an industry leader.
Retail
RML Construction stands ready to address clients' concerns in the retail market segment. Our associates are experienced at responding to the needs of retailers and developers. Our cost-effective solutions and critical scheduling methods have made us a top retail builder with over 8 million SF of retail space completed in the last years.
Healthcare
RML Construction has healthcare experience in everything from small outpatient facilities to major medical campuses. These projects have included renovations, additions and new construction.
The issues that arise in healthcare construction are distinct from any other type of work because of the sensitive nature of the building's environment. Infection control, risk management and the challenges that come with working in an active facility are all major issues that must be dealt with.
Our ASHE-certified professionals are familiar with these types of complications and have the experience to meet them with effective solutions.
 
Industrial
Working in an industrial setting presents a unique set of challenges and issues. Time and schedule are often driving factors in the project. RML Construction has the ability to self-perform a large percentage of the work that industrial construction entails, allowing us to drive the schedule and deliver our projects on time. Industrial work almost always takes place in an existing facility that must maintain operations through the duration of the project. We are aware of the potential challenges facing a project of this manner and are able to minimize their impact, saving time and lowering costs.
 
Mission Critical
RMLConstruction has completed thousands of projects, large and small, working in data center and telecommunications buildings. This type of work is extremely challenging because of the sensitive nature of the equipment that is stored inside. The design must consider the environment that is required once the equipment is in place, with proper air circulation to maintain temperature and proper measures to negate any external issues.
During actual construction, elements such as dust, vibration and moisture that are common place on a jobsite must be controlled in order to maintain the integrity of the equipment. Over the course of many years and several thousand construction jobs, RML has never had an incident regarding the equipment on one of our mission critical projects.
 
Water Resources
RML Construction has been responsible for countless water and waste water treatment plant projects in our history. Our success in this market is rooted in several different factors. One of our greatest strengths is our experience. Water and wastewater work has been a vital part of RML's history.
Our construction professionals have an intimate knowledge of the processes and labor required to successfully complete these projects on time and on budget, and we have a consistent track record of doing just that. We also take pride in our market knowledge. Thanks to our extensive experience in our region, we know which contractors have the ability to perform on our projects and they know who we are as well. When RML is awarded a project we mobilize a quality team of subcontractors who will get the job done.
We also point to our self-performance capabilities. RML has the unique ability to perform certain packages of a project when it makes sense to do so. This gives us greater control over the schedule, allowing us to drive the project.

RML Construction - Build
Each home by RML Construction has an assigned superintendent responsible for constructing your home, overseeing all the workers and ensuring the final product meets all expectations. The team concentrates on a logical, step-by-step process. The process is methodical, but moves along briskly, aimed at getting your home move-in ready as soon as possible.
The process is divided into eight phases:
  • Pre-Construction
  • Foundation
  • Framing
  • Rough Mechanicals
  • Finishes
  • Trims
  • Finals
  • Final Orientation

Phase 1: Pre-Construction
During the pre-construction meeting, you are invited to sit down with your sales person, superintendent and possibly a customer service representative to do a final review of your Dream Home package. Together, you'll verify the placement of the house, review the blueprints, and find out what to expect during the building process. Once building plan approval permits are cleared, construction can begin.
Your sales rep will remain your primary contact throughout the process, but make sure you have contact information for your superintendent as well.
