Construction

Successful projects begin with informed planning and a clear understanding of project objectives, risks, budget, and schedule. RDH works with owners and project teams during the earliest stages of project development to establish implementation strategies, evaluate options, develop procurement approaches, and align project scope with available resources. By combining construction expertise with engineering, architecture, and building enclosure consulting, we help teams make informed decisions that support successful project delivery and reduce the likelihood of costly changes later in the process.

Activities may include:

• Owner Representation
• Construction Planning
• Procurement Strategy
• Tendering & Bid Evaluation
• Cost Estimating & Budget Development
• Schedule Development
• Scope Definition
• Constructability Review
• Trade Contractor Procurement
• Risk Assessment & Mitigation

During construction, RDH acts as an extension of the owner’s team, coordinating stakeholders, managing project risks, and supporting successful implementation. Our construction professionals work alongside engineers, architects, and building enclosure specialists to help address technical challenges, maintain alignment with project objectives, and provide consistent oversight throughout construction. This integrated approach is particularly valuable for rehabilitation, renewal, retrofit, and occupied-building projects where technical complexity, phasing, and stakeholder coordination are critical to project success.

Activities may include:

• Construction Management
• Contract Administration
• Trade Contractor Coordination
• Construction Observation
• Field Review Services
• Quality Reviews
• Technical Troubleshooting
• Budget Monitoring & Cost Control
• Schedule Management
• Change Management
• Occupied Building Construction Support
• Phased Construction Implementation
• Building Enclosure Commissioning

Project delivery continues beyond substantial completion. RDH supports owners through project closeout, commissioning activities, warranty periods, and transition from construction to occupancy. We help verify that project requirements have been addressed, outstanding issues are resolved, and project documentation is complete, providing continuity and support through the final stages of implementation.

Activities may include:

• Project Closeout Coordination
• Building Enclosure Commissioning Verification
• Deficiency Management
• Warranty Reviews
• Documentation Review
• Performance Verification
• Owner Training & Handover Support
• Post-Occupancy Support
