Experts AT DELIVERING SUCCESSFUL PROJECTS

ESTIMATING & PRECONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT

Our Passion for Preconstruction Planning = Best Value

Rafael Construction has a rich tradition of quality construction in the State of Nevada. During our 30+ year history, Rafael has been recognized as a leader in the local building industry. It’s no secret - our preconstruction process creates repeat clients. Our corporate family culture and methodology integrate seamlessly with Construction Manager at Risk, Design-Build, and Negotiated delivery methods.

Rafael believes in the best value approach to construction in which all stakeholders achieve maximum worth, functionality, efficiency - without sacrificing quality. We believe a project’s success hinges on the effectiveness of preconstruction. Our preconstruction team is dedicated to achieving our client’s goals through concise communication and budget control. We use a number of different means and methods listed below to internally manage costs and deliver the project on time and within budget.

SITE-SPECIFIC QUALITY PLANNING

WE’RE QUALITY DRIVEN

Our Passion for Preconstruction Planning = Best Value

Quality Control is the responsibility of every employee at Rafael Construction. Quality must be admired and maintained during the design and coordination phase, throughout the construction phase, and close out phase of the project. Rafael implements a number of industry standard quality control methods including mockups, pre-install meetings, and BIM. But Rafael sets itself apart with our Site Specific Quality Plan. This is a highly customized quality control plan that we create, implement, and maintain for each project Rafael is involved in. It ensures quality participation from each stakeholder in the project and ensures client satisfaction at the end of each job. Rafael has delivered quality projects, time and time again for its clients - a credit to the quality control plan and the culture we have developed.

COMMITTED TO SAFETY ON ALL PROJECTS

The foundation of our safety program is the moral commitment to ensure the safety of the employees and the public who encounter our construction sites. We believe that safety is the responsibility of Rafael Construction and each of our trusted trade partners. Rafael Construction works with the client’s operational staff to develop the construction sequencing and logistics plans, utilizing feedback from the design team, utilities, AHJ’s, and the superintendent to draft a Site Specific Safety Plan

(SSSP). The SSSP lays out all safety requirements and further augments the base safety programming with a number of different standards and protocols. This SSSP is the foundation of a safe jobsite and can be found at all of Rafael’s projects. Rafael sets the standard in the industry for safety and will continue to be a leader in the years to come.

TYRONE THOMPSON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, LAS VEGAS, NV

New construction of a state-of-the-art 108,750 SF, 2-story Elementary School in Las Vegas, Nevada. This project utilized a prototype design that uses half the energy of a typical school of the same size and comes in at 2/3’s of a typical cost-per-square foot, saving the school district money. This project features 53 classrooms including a science classroom, art classroom, spacious library and two “flex-space” classrooms.

Rafael Construction, during preconstruction for this project, was dedicated to ensuring that every Value Engineering (VE) option was taken into consideration and selected the best option based upon the School District’s needs and wants while saving them money. Despite significant schedule adjustments due to utilities, this project was successfully completed on time.

Working with the accountable team at Rafael Construction provided our project with value by coming in under budget and on schedule. The project team navigated through material cost escalations, increased material lead items, and labor shortage, without any major impact to our delivery schedule. Rafael continued to support our organization after the project was completed by being available and responsive to complete additional work not originally a part of the scope and addressing warranty items in a timely manner. Building Hope Real Estate values the working relationship with Rafael Construction and we look forward to delivering future projects with their team.
