RPM ENGINEERING BRINGS SOLUTIONS TO ALL ENGINEERING SCOPES ON Portland Projects.

Our success in solving engineering needs for our clients has grown because more general contractors have strategically developed special project divisions with smaller architecture and engineering scopes, emphasizing RPM's commitment to mixed-use development and sustainable growth in Portland. These projects typically include tenant improvements for commercial projects, retail projects, additions for residential projects and exterior structure expansions on existing facilities.

Specializing in pre-engineered and prefabricated structures, we deploy teams faster than traditional EPC firms while remaining an economical option for turnkey design, architectural and structural engineering, and construction of residential projects. We also highlight the use of control technologies in energy-efficient systems, showcasing our expertise in integrating and managing various subsystems.

RPM is insured for $2M GL and PL E&O. We emphasize the importance of ongoing care and maintenance in our design processes, ensuring the durability and operational efficiency of the buildings we work on.Projects
