Design | Build
The design/build process provides our customers with an expedited solution to a faster project turnaround. We pinpoint the criteria for your project first. Then we custom-develop a mechanical system for you from cost estimate through performance parameters and optional operating cost analysis. Our in-house teams of virtual design specialists are capable of meeting various levels of layout and design.
Estimating
Our state-of-the-art computerized estimating department produces precise, detailed proposals in an expeditious manner. On-screen estimating contributes to a timely turnaround for proposals. A comprehensive data-base of materials, pricing and labor provides quick access to information, speeding up the estimating process. And to ensure nothing has been overlooked, each and every estimate is reviewed by a team of experienced estimators.
Critical Path Scheduling
R.W. LaPine uses the critical path method for scheduling to match the resources of equipment, materials and labor with project work tasks over time. Critical path scheduling eliminates production holdups, facilitates the timely procurement of necessary materials and ensures projects are completed on time.
Procurement
R.W. LaPine maintains excellent working relationships with our vendor and subcontractor partners to ensure project schedules and engineer specifications are met within budget and schedule. Our Purchasing Department works closely with the Estimating and Project Management teams to pre-purchase material and equipment in order to meet tight deadlines. Because tools and shop inventory are essential to every project, our shop is stocked with the latest state-of-the-art tools, equipment, materials and inventory to support our jobsites quickly and efficiently.
