SELF-PERFORM CAPABILITIES & MANAGEMENT APPROACHSelf-Perform CapabilitiesRA-LIN often self-performs portions of the work whenit is in the best interest of the project from both a costand schedule viewpoint.Portions of the work that we may considerself-performing are:• Demolition • Site Work • Concrete Form Work• Concrete Placing & Finishing• Structural Steel Erection • Miscellaneous Ironwork • CMU/Masonry Work • Door & Frames Installation• Millwork Installation• Rough & Finish CarpentryOur ability to self-perform so many portions of aproject is becoming a greater advantage in today’smarket. Because of the continual cost escalation inthe subcontracting community and the tremendousdemand on the skilled labor market, our self-performability has given us a tremendous resource to counterthese obstacles.Project Management ApproachOur overall approach to project management ischaracterized by:• Clearly defined lines of authority and responsibility• Frequent formal and informal communication throughout the project• Sophisticated software for monitoring cost and schedule• Seasoned leaders who combine a big picture perspective with a sharp eye for red flags that signal the need for action to keep a project on track.

Quality ControlBefore quality at the job site can be achieved, the necessary preliminary work must be done to assure the proper materialsare delivered on a timely basis. This is accomplished through thorough review of shop drawings, and through consultationswith the subcontractors and material suppliers who also furnish materials to the job site.Once the materials are delivered to the job site, our superintendent follows a systematic process of inspection and viewsdesigned to flag any deficiencies occurring in the workmanship or installation of materials. If deficiencies are noted, theyare immediately corrected.RA-LIN has taken positive steps to assure Quality Control. We first strive to conform to the plans and specifications, whichwe believe is the first step in quality control. Secondly, we add the subjective assurance that each project will be construct-ed to the level of quality we would want if we were the Owner.

Safety ProgramAn additional factor contributing to the success of our projects is a well-defined Safety Program. We employ a full-timeCorporate Safety Manager. Upon employment, every employee receives a personal copy of our Safety Program/SubstanceAbuse Policy. Each job is visited periodically by members of our safety staff to assure compliance with our safety require-ments and to assist in educating employees about safety procedures. RA-LIN also provides classes in safety training andproblem recognition for supervisory personnel.Our superintendents are always reminded of the importance of safety. They conduct weekly safety meetings on each jobsite where employees are reminded and charged to work in a safe manner. IOA, our insurance carrier, makes frequent n-site inspections for the purpose of prevention. A written report is made summarizing each visit, and our superintendentsimmediately implement any recommendations made. Monthly loss reports are reviewed at the corporate level for earlydetection of problem areas. Should a specific problem be found, possible corrective action is discussed with the projectmanager and appropriate action is taken. All subcontractors and their personnel are by contract subject to these safetyrules while working on our projects.

From top to bottom, they worked with well our inhouseproject team and represented us well with Marriott’s Architecture and Construction department.

Theseprojects represented a major step forward in UWG’s housing and dining offerings, and could not have been accom-plished without the full engagement and expertise of the RA-LIN team. We were pleased with the dedication andattention to detail of the RA-LIN team, and the executive leadership of the firm was involved every step of the way.The RA-LIN team members worked collaboratively and responsively with the project architect, UWG stakeholders,USG representatives, and the Foundation’s Program Manager to deliver a first class project.I feel confident in RA-LIN’s ability to adapt to a variety of project conditions, and I suggest that you give strong con-sideration to them as a candidate for your project.
