The traditional architectural approach to fast design is broken.
By partnering with manufacturers from the start, we expedite projects with our knowledge of pre-engineered and prefabricated building products.
At RPM, we let the manufacturer lead our proprietary design process. Our team collaborates with manufacturers to help develop their engineering, so we possess in-depth knowledge about modular limitations. As a result, when we take on projects where we operate as the architect and program rep, we’re able to create plans that satisfy manufacturer requirements on the first attempt.
Our Manufacturing-Led-Design-Process® helps RPM clients avoid delays due to the constraints of modular projects.
Why choose RPM Team?
-
We combine structural engineering with actual factory-floor experience. Because we know exactly how membrane-covered structures, PEMBs, and modular trailers are manufactured, we bridge the gap between design and fabrication. This direct knowledge allows us to seamlessly manage your project from the factory to the finished site, eliminating the delays and disconnects common in traditional construction.
-
By housing both architectural and structural engineering under one roof, we eliminate the coordination delays that plague traditional construction. RPM Team actively drives your project from initial concept through final execution, ensuring a seamless, fast-tracked delivery without the friction of managing multiple external consultants.
-
Finding the exact right building system shouldn't be a guessing game. For owners and developers, RPM Team acts as your strategic specifier during early development, guiding you to the most efficient structural solutions for your site. We also partner directly with manufacturers on product development to refine and optimize building systems. From concept to delivery, we drive the complete procurement process for modular and pre-engineered buildings.
-
Beyond structural design, RPM Team actively drives early project estimation and rigorous contractor selection. We bridge the gap between engineering and execution, ensuring your project is financially viable from day one and built by the most qualified team available.
