Responsive Engineering: RPM’s Approach
When general contractors set out to find structural engineers or special project architects for large-scale projects, they need someone who is accessible, flexible, and efficient. Here at RPM Team, one of our core company values is to remain as accessible as possible. We pride ourselves on being a team of great communicators with clear expectations, appropriate and accountable pacing, and responsiveness to client needs.
The RPM Background
With backgrounds in pre-engineered and prefabricated structures and structural engineering, we bring a unique skill set to construction teams who need fast structures or fast engineering for deferred engineering scopes. Our taste for design comes from the manufacturing industry, as building material products and kits rarely provide complete design services.
RPM has learned to fill in the gaps and provide designs to contractors based on their preferences. Our manufacturing-led-design-process™ not only offers accelerated project timelines through more efficient processes but it creates a working environment that takes designer-to-manufacturer coordination off of your plate. In addition, we are not afraid to try new, outside-of-the-box solutions and technologies for the sake of our clients.
Staying Agile
Our solution-based procedures respond to multi-faceted challenges that our clients face; RPM acts as an engineering and procurement firm for construction companies. RPM Team covers project scopes in their entirety but also manages individual areas, including structural engineering, modeling, estimation, project management, drafting, and design. We work directly with PEMB, stair, railing, miscellaneous steel, and deck manufacturers and are able to bring their experience to our projects that provide deferred engineering from the EOR. Another way we maintain agility in our field is by working in tandem with in-house fabrication shops or detailers. By producing calculations and stamping plans, clients need not worry about detailers who put together drawings but don’t stamp them - we’ve got that covered.
Attainable Solutions
Getting your concept on paper to build shouldn’t be out of reach. That’s why we work with clients to provide effective solutions for their project needs. Extensive planning and feasibility consulting put our clients in the driver’s seat. By taking owner project requirements (OPR) and estimating design-build costs, we can confidently recommend a project scope that’s appropriate for both the client’s needs, for the parcel of land in question, and the available budget. Whether a project requires metal stud wall, partition wall, modular wall, PEMB, pre-engineered membrane structures, foundation design, or structural steel stair system designs, RPM Team’s approach promises lower costs and accelerated project timelines without compromising quality.
