Our Process
Send Us Your Plans
At the heart of our mission is the commitment to delivering a comprehensive service package to our valued customers. This includes not only the skilled labor for concrete formwork but also the seamless supply and installation of wood framing solutions. We prioritize transparency and clarity, providing detailed estimates for our full-service offerings. Additionally, we cater to diverse needs by offering supply-only options for pre-fabricated walls, engineered floors, and stairs, ensuring flexibility and choice for our clients.
Plan it.
Utilizing MS Project, our project planning software, RAS delivers comprehensive schedules outlining our scope of work in detail. Recognizing the significance of critical path planning, we collaborate closely with our customers to identify and prioritize key milestones for their projects. This strategic approach ensures efficient project management and timely completion, aligning our efforts with our clients' goals and objectives.
Model it.
At RAS, we employ cutting-edge wood framing software to design and model entire structures in 3D. This advanced technology allows us to create comprehensive plans that integrate seamlessly with other building components. We collaborate closely with all trades involved to ensure that critical elements of the building work harmoniously with both the wood frame and concrete structure.
Our streamlined process includes the fabrication of prefab walls, precision-cut floors, and prefab stairs in our shop, where they are constructed and cut to perfection before being shipped to the site. This approach maximizes efficiency by allowing us to complete a significant portion of the project concurrently with formwork activities. By coordinating closely with all stakeholders and utilizing prefabrication techniques, we optimize project timelines and ensure smooth construction processes from start to finish.
Form it.
RAS employs a combination of traditional formwork methods and modern panelized systems to meet the unique needs of each project. We are committed to staying at the forefront of industry advancements and continuously evolving to utilize the latest and most efficient systems available.
In addition to our expertise in formwork, our comprehensive approach extends to framing the building itself. We meticulously coordinate with all trades involved to ensure that floating bulkheads and embed locations align seamlessly with the framing structure. Furthermore, our team takes responsibility for placing and finishing the slab to guarantee its levelness and structural integrity.
By integrating formwork and framing processes seamlessly, RAS delivers superior results while maximizing efficiency and precision on every project. Our dedication to innovation and attention to detail ensures that we consistently meet and exceed our clients' expectations.
Frame it.
At RAS, we pride ourselves on our comprehensive approach to project management in the wood frame industry. From initial planning and modeling to forming and framing, we're involved in every step of the process. This end-to-end involvement gives us a significant advantage, enabling us to maintain tight coordination and efficiency throughout the project lifecycle.
By meticulously coordinating and planning the building before framing begins, we ensure that the project stays on schedule in a fast and efficient manner. Our ability to anticipate and address potential challenges early on helps prevent delays and keeps the project moving forward seamlessly.
Choosing RAS for the full supply and install scope offers our customers a distinct advantage. By entrusting us with the entire process, they can rest assured that their project will be completed on budget and on time. Our integrated approach streamlines communication, minimizes disruptions, and maximizes efficiency, resulting in a smoother construction experience and ultimately, a successful outcome for our clients.
“RAS SUPPLY AND INSTALL PREFAB WALL PANELS WERE A CONTRIBUTING ASSET FOR THE SUCCESS OF OUR PROJECT. WE WOULD USE RAS AGAIN ON OUR FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS.”
