SERVICES
Engineering services built around the project.
SERVICE DETAILS
What each service may include.
The work included in each service depends on the project and RAM’s agreed scope. The examples below show the types of project needs each service may address.
Structural Engineering
Structural engineering for new buildings, additions, renovations, modifications and existing structures. RAM develops structural solutions around the proposed work, existing conditions and available project information.
Representative project needs
- Structural systems and foundations
- Additions, renovations and structural modifications
- Structural openings and alterations
- Wood
- Structural steel
- Concrete
- Masonry
- Cold-formed steel / load-bearing steel stud systems
- Existing structures
Civil & Site Engineering
Civil engineering for site development and building-related site requirements. The scope is defined around the property, proposed work and information available for the project.
Representative project needs
- Site development
- Site grading
- Drainage
- Water servicing
- Sewer servicing
- Stormwater management
- Building-related site requirements
- Coordination of civil/site requirements with the building and project
Assessments & Investigations
Engineering assessment of existing buildings, structures, foundations and conditions where existing construction needs to be understood before decisions or design work proceed.
Representative project needs
- Structural and foundation conditions
- Deterioration or damage
- Previous alterations
- Existing field conditions
- Feasibility of proposed changes
- Engineering investigation and reporting
Building Design & Drafting
Building design, drafting and Revit/BIM documentation supporting coordinated project development, engineering and documentation for permitting and construction.
Representative project needs
- Building design support
- Technical drawings
- Permit and construction documentation
- Revit / BIM
- Coordination of structural, civil and building information
- New buildings
- Additions
- Renovations
Specialty Engineering
Focused engineering for specialized components, systems and project-specific technical requirements where a defined engineering scope is needed.
Representative project needs
- Delegated design
- Specialty structural components
- Steel stud / cold-formed steel engineering
- Structural steel connections
- Glass and aluminum systems
- Shop-drawing engineering where appropriate
- Temporary works
- Other clearly defined component or system engineering
Construction & Contract Administration
Engineering support within RAM’s agreed scope as the project moves from design and permitting into construction. The specific support provided depends on RAM’s role and the project requirements.
Representative project needs
- Engineering questions within RAM’s scope
- Design coordination as construction progresses
- Relevant field conditions
- Technical changes
- Construction/site issues within RAM’s scope
- Field reviews where included in RAM’s agreed scope
These examples help describe the service areas; they do not represent a standard package or imply that every activity is included on every project.
