Brands We Work With
1. Concept Development
Every project starts with your vision. Our in-house architecture and design team collaborates closely with you to create a concept that reflects your objectives, aesthetic preferences, and functional requirements. This early insight allows us to shape your project with precision, ensuring that it’s feasible from both a design and construction standpoint.
- Initial client consultations to define project goals and scope.
- Site evaluations and zoning analysis.
- Preliminary budgeting and scheduling projections.
2. Custom Architectural Design
Once we’ve established the concept, our in-house architects and designers take the lead on developing detailed designs tailored to your project’s unique needs. By utilizing Building Information Modeling (BIM) technology, we’re able to create comprehensive 3D models that provide accurate visualizations of the project while identifying potential challenges early on. This collaborative process ensures that our design is both innovative and buildable, saving time and resources during construction.
- Architectural design tailored to function, aesthetics, and budget.
- BIM integration to enhance coordination and reduce design clashes.
- Continuous collaboration with the construction team to ensure feasibility.
3. Pre-Construction Planning
Planning is the foundation of a successful project, and our Pre-Construction Planning phase is where we establish a solid roadmap for execution. RCG’s team develops a comprehensive plan that includes detailed cost estimates, critical path scheduling, risk management, and procurement strategies. By coordinating all project elements early on, we avoid costly delays and ensure a smooth transition to construction.
- Detailed budgeting and cost estimation.
- Scheduling using Critical Path Method (CPM) to identify key milestones.
- Risk management and procurement planning.
- Permitting and regulatory compliance.
4. Construction Execution
During the Construction Phase, RCG’s experienced construction professionals bring the project to life. Our team takes ownership of every detail, from mobilization to project management and quality control. Communication is key during this phase, and we ensure regular updates and on-site meetings with the client, design team, and subcontractors to keep the project on track. Safety, efficiency, and craftsmanship are at the core of our approach.
- On-site project management to oversee construction and maintain timelines.
- Quality control checks at each phase of construction.
- Regular communication with all stakeholders to ensure clarity and alignment.
5. Project Delivery & Post-Construction Support
After construction is complete, RCG’s commitment to your project doesn’t end. Our post-construction support includes thorough training on all building systems and ongoing maintenance assistance. We provide detailed as-built drawings and a close-out manual that documents all essential information for future reference. Additionally, we conduct an 11-month post-construction walkthrough to ensure that everything is functioning as designed and address any concerns that arise after project handover.
- Client training on building systems and operational guidelines.
- Delivery of close-out documentation, including warranties and as-built drawings.
- Post-construction support, including maintenance coordination and repairs.
- 11-month follow-up walkthrough to ensure continued satisfaction.
